Based out of Los Angeles, and very popular in the early to mid 60's. Singer had them as an accessory, as did Rainbow and others. Here's a scan of the Rainbow D book. I have 3 or so of these and know where to find one more new in box. Greg |

That does look like a Precor. I wonder if they still make them.

That's my basement! I found that Preco power brush brand new up in Kewaskum, WI on a trip with Tania not too long ago. He still has some if I am not mistaken. One came with my first Filtex central vacuum in 1977. Not a bad setup. As stated they were used by Sunbeam and Westinghouse as well. Also sold individually. I like them. Fred |

Beam Central Vacs also came with these, or it was an optional attachment avalible with a Beam. Many houses in our neighborhood in Sparta Wi (near LaCrosse WI) in the late 1960s, early 70s had a Beam system, and they all had a Preco. They were all the tan colored ones, with the darker tan on the bottom. Was totally facinated by them as a kid. I did find one for sale on E-bay several years ago,,it was the Singer version,,came with a canned ham type Singer Golden Glide. Only problem is there is a large crack in the neck of the Preco,,so im affraid to use it too much. I would LOVE to have one NIB,,is there one for sale somewhere?Please direct me, if avalible. |
