I’m not terribly knowledgeable on singer. I do have an S4 upright and the little hand vac. I had the opportunity to buy the matching roll a magic from another collector last week but backed out.
Finding the brush roll for that and other parts is going to be tough. A must have vac for any collection. Because of the looks and intergraded features. | ||

Reply to Kloveland Thank you for the response. I plan to hold onto it and get it in better shape. I want to fix the cord rewind and try to find compatible bags for it. I am not too worried about getting a belt or bulb, that will be a bit easier. | ||

One of the most revolutionary design developments in vacuum cleaner history…the first upright to set the motor facing sideways - allowing the motor head to be reduced in height and also inviting the next step in design evolution: the Dial a Matic bypass configuration. It also invited the European development of the lightweight Oreck style upright and the compact power nozzles for canisters….both of which use sideways motors.

Sideways Motor The Air-Way DirtMaster also used a sideways motor. However, due to the way the vacuum was engineered, its head was far larger than the Singer. | ||

I did find a Singer service manual online. It should be here Tuesday and I will post pics of the cord winder service section on here when it arrives. Also, Singer branded bags should not be hard to find online. I’ve attached a link.

Electrolux sold theirs well before the 1960’s The model XXX was available with a cord winder. I won’t be so bold as to list the year because I honestly don’t know, but I’m sure one of our Electrolux historians can provide the correct details. We have more than one. | ||

Lurelle Guild I do remember the scary one from an antique mall. I referred it to a fellow collector. | ||

luxlife.
Electrolux introduced the cord winder in late 1948, or early 1949, along with the ride-on tool holder called the 'companion,' Garment-air bag,' and 'Power polisher.' They also introduced white bristles to the bare floor brush and dusting brush for delicate surfaces like wallpaper, or lampshades. Pictured below are the patents associated with these optional tools. But Electrolux was not the first company to introduce the cord winder, that honor goes to Air-way. I cannot locate the patent, but it goes back to the mid 1920's.
