Does anyone know anything about it? I was painting for a lady today and she was throwing it out. She said I could have it. I cannot believe how heavy it is. The only parts I got were the ones shown. It is made in the USA for Simpson Sears, so it is a Canadian model for sure. Its like lifting a cinder block.

Very cool early Kenmore Magicord with built in tool tray, rather than the snap-on type. Looks like you have everything important there except the wands? I can give you a pair of those. Those tools and the vac will clean up right smart with Mr Clean Magic Eraser before anything else. I am curious about the Kenmore flared crevicetool mounting upright like that but once you fit the floor tool in place there's really no other place for it...is there? An upholstery nozzle would fit maybe... Like it a lot. Is it really light pale green? Yummy. Dave | ||

Ok, here's my take. The machine pre-dates 1976 but not by much. The oval dusting brush fits bristles-down on the right oval stub. Floor nozzle is obvious. There would have been a small upholstery tool that also fits face down and the crevice tool fits along the back even tho there's no specific divot for it? What's the pictoglyph under the crevicetool, Brian? Is there a pn socket by the hose inlet? Oh, I love this. :-) | ||

Look on the side of the top of the unit....
there is a long slot which swallows up the entire tool. To me, the Kenmore flared crevice tool with air path to one side is one of the best crevice tool designs I have seen. The off-side orientation of the tool allows it to lie flat on the floor in order to slide it under very narrow spaces below refrigerators and low-slung furniture. I think even Dyson copied this concept. This style of Kenmore you have is from 1969. The hoses were notorious for cracking at the handle end, and the two speed switch is really inconvenient - it's a toggle on the back of the unit near the cord reel uptake. | ||
