There are more clues in the Serial # and the decal. What does it say on the bottom for Model No?. Score! with all the gold flecked transparent tools to join your Compacts. I don't see it but I will assume you have the inner cloth bag with the rubber sealing ring? Discussed before that the power pin sockets are brass/bronze tubes open along one side. They can be squeezed gently with vice grips or slide a pin or small nail in along side it to crimp it closed a little. If the connection is still intermittent then a continuity test with the ohm meter on your circuit tester will locate which section has the break. Check the hose and PN electrics on any other 2 pin vacuum you have. Would really like a sharp direct on closeup of that intact decal on the side, please. Usually those get rubbed off. Is it labeled an Anniversary Model? 'As New As Tomorrow', I see a highwing monoplane and a two engine prop job... Dave Here's the matching colour schemed 50th Anniversary Tristar. |

FANTASTIC and WIERD! a Piper Cub, a heavily armed to the teeth prop fighter and a Hunter Sub in the foreground while 'something else', perhaps the SEAVIEW, is launching an ICBM. Not seen that decal before - it's a keeper. I wonder if this was the Consumer model or was specially issued for a Naval Base? Rather frightening and unsettling for the average housewife? Thank you, Alex |
