I like collecting any type of vacuuum from my childhood and this is still new in the box. Would the Ni-Cad battery still work and how would I keep it steady if I use it as a daily stick vac for quick cleans.

More good luck with NOS…. This one turned also out to be a winner for me. The seller still has a few left.

 It is a mixed bag. Ni-Cad batteries do not like to be stored without charging, they will crystallize and go bad without being maintained every couple of weeks. It could be bad right out of the box. Assume you will need the pack rebuilt with new NiCad cells or modified to lithium which may or may not entail modifying a new charging circuit. A used Ni-Cad left longer than a month without being charged it will surely never charge again. Do not get your hopes up for quick cleaning, these were never that powerful like they show on TV. It is the same guts as a Dustbuster but with an even longer nozzle and wider airpath, so the suction drop-off is steep. Ctvacman is correct. Ni-Cad batteries need to be run until they are totally dead in order to ensure they will fully charge next time. | ||
