Interestingly, there are quite a few differences between the red one and this model other than just color...the switch is in back, just below the handle,

...and the bag chamber has an additional suction inlet. I am going to have to investigate the duct work. The manual says that the exhaust also has a "permanent type" filter material to reduce noise and for better air filtering.

Thanks Michael again for going to all that trouble. When you get out of the big house - we'll have a party! No El-Diablo Domenico Atlaso's were harmed in the making of this photo-play! Rick | ||

Congratulations!! That El Dorado is a real looker!! The hose is beautiful, is it still useable? Strange how many vacuums had the felt pad for floors, they must have been very popular. Terry | ||

Here's the one I was talking about. The bag door is quite different, and it has a cordwinder underneath.... CLICK HERE TO GO TO crevicetool's LINK | ||

The "four little wheel-pods" is what my red Atlas is like. This is the first time I ever realized there were two different red Atlases. With the "pod" version, it looks like the wheels have fender skirts -- adding even further to the '57 Chevy aesthetic.

That El-Dorado is a very petty cleaner. It looks just like the one a friend of mine sold recently. CLICK HERE TO GO TO xraytech's LINK on eBay | ||
