Looks nice. Not origianl hose. Does not have a Power nozzle, or a cart on wheels that it sat on. Not sure where you could find one of those, But thats all I can tell you |

such as the aluminum floor nozzle and the chrome steel dust bucket. Fingers crossed someone will have a spare caster base to donate someday. Which model # is on the label? Yes Edgar, that's a red Kirby hose, often used as a replacement. Frankly, I think the solid red goes better with the Fairfax trim & tools and I've seen the solid red on half the Fairfax's I've laid eyes on. The 'real' Fairfax hose has that visual white nylon netting embedded in the red vinyl. The cord would be a matching red also. I found the tools for my pair from several sources and finally snagged the floor polisher base attachment cheaply off Ebay last year. Dave |

My polisher base also included the Activated Charcoal Filter & other stuff which came as an extra cost optional kit. This filter is meant to purify and deodorize the room air and is placed in the base with the powerdome on top - no bucket. The 1976 manual cautions to use the filter on slow speed for no more than two hours a day. "Charcoal filters are used in industry when re-use of pre-conditioned air proves economical. Some other uses - in Space Capsules, in Atomic Submarines, even in Cigarette Filters." :-) The earlier Fairfaxs did not come with a Power Nozzle and do not have a two-pin socket in the handle. |

ok, the only info i can find on it is that it,s made in Canada type number vsx i think and there is no connector for a power nozzle. The lady that had id is jukebox colector and she took it with her to holland several years ago. She does not have anny info on it because she bought it at a yardsale in the usa. Doug soory for me being away a lot very busy speak to u soon. edgar |
