Also, are there any particular places where date codes may be cast onto the machine's castings? | ||

The
Only date codes are on the armature and the coil. You have a 3 amp armature. 516 to s7 are the same motor. The 513 through 515 amp motors are different size of the armature shaft. The fan is also orog9nal to 3 amp motors. The fan is pretty rare and a most 3 amp motors had the fan replaced with the 11 blade fan.
There is stamps all over the vacuum but none are date stamps. I'd keep the 3 amp motor in it and fan. Does it have a push push silver power button or a toggle switch Someone could have just switched out the front motor housing and put it on an earlier 500 series body. | ||
