I did manage to find a couple of vacuum related things over the weekend at Bibles For Missions Thrift Store. The heavy cast metal flywheel turbine really gets the 12.5" double brushroll spinning and on a strong vacuum like a Compact or Lux 89 it will not bog down. I gather these are made for central vac systems and cost from $75 to over $100.

Glides snug to the rug with only two back wheels. Ball bearings used throughout for free spinning bits. Airpath seen under the clear plastic palte so you can detect clogs at a glance. Two sets of alternate stiff orange and softer white bristles grab everything and it did not leave grooming tracks, just a wide puffed path.

The best modern full side turbine carpet nozzle I've used. That's due to the heavy metal flywheel. Has a cogged belt that passes over a tensioned roller bearing on its way to the brushroll and keeps the profile down to 2.75". Anyone else have one of these?

Yes, i have one with my Central Vac, but it has a brushroll with bristles that are placed an inch or so apart, instead of the continuous row,,i think this one you have would be a better performer than mine. The one i have is called an Ultra TP210,,whatever that means. Does OK on kitchen or low pile carpet,,not as agressive as i would like on thicker carpet pile,,but still not bad. Of course the stronger the vacuum suction, the faster and better the turbine performs.
