A few years ago, I got my first trash find vacs. I found a compact Panasonic Jet-Flo, a Kenmore Magicord canister vacuum, a Montgomery Ward (Eureka) canister vacuum, and a Eurka F&G upright vacuum. The ladder two I'm looking to sell or get rid of. The Mont. Ward is in very bad shape, with weird black stuff in the bag compartment, a frayed cord (I haven't tested it as a result), and no bag. It came with tools, but I wish to keep those as spares. The Eureka F&G worked, however the motor was smoking, and is missing a bag, belt, and the screws that keep the outer bag on. I'm looking to make space for other vacs that I want to get, and I'm willing to let these ones go. However, I'm not sure if I should sell them, or toss them. I'm a bit worried that they may have been used by whoever previously owned then to pick up asbestos, then again, I could just be paranoid. What should I do?
Edit: Oh yeah, I forgot about this about the Eureka upright, I think one of the screws on the bottom of the head fell through one of the grills on either side of the fan when I tried taking it apart, and I think it's still there, whoops lol. |

You might have a point, but right now I'm kinda just looking to make space for vacuums I really wanna get. For example, I'm really fixing to get an old Maytag Windtunnel Self Propelled and/or Windtunnel Canister. Not the greatest vacs out there but still pretty nice IMO. Anyways, here's the ratings stickers:

I kinda knew that, because I haven't been able to find any photos or videos of them online, but thanks for dating them :) Also, even though they're pretty rare, they're in such bad shape, and I'm not really good at fixing vacuums, so I kinda don't want them. So yeah, besides, I'm not really into vacuums older than the 1970s-1980s. But again, thanks for dating them.

I kind of got that from Preformance reviews aka vacuumdevil and his videos repairing and fixing them. Here's one of them:

Well, that's a neat catalogue, and I think mine was one of the base models. I think that because it has no headlight, and no Virbra-Groomer. If I were to get an F&G upright, I'd want it to be a Sanitare commercial one with a Quick-Kleen fan chamber, one that takes disposable F&G bags, and one with just a curved handle, and not the looped handle.
