Welcome Mercury Man!
Here is my L (one of them.) I bought a Gold L brand new back in 1977. I love how light and powerful these machines are. The L had a long run as the cheaper step sister in many colors. Mine is blue and found pretty much in mint condition. Attachments are easy to find and these are easy to work on. You have good taste in vacuums. Mine is shown with the machines in the line up of the time. the B-8 polisher in blue along with the deluxe 1205. I am sure you will find this place a good source of information to restore that machine to pristine condition.

Brian, I used to have that same exact Model L. In fact, it was the very first vacuum I ever owned on my own. I had the power nozzle but no tools for it. My grandmother found it at a garage sale for $5 and gave it to me right after I graduated from college back in 1982. I used it for a few years and ended up throwing it away when I moved into a new house with new carpet. I kick myself now for doing that! I now have the earliest Model L in cream and aqua with the cord winder. They are very good machines. Congratulations on your find!
