Wow. Thank you
That was very helpful! I have sooo much to learn. Mine has a stamp on the underside stating 475w 115v. So because it has the saloon door style exhaust that would make it a 1949?? It does have a grey almost charcoal hose.
Found it on Craigslist. I know it's a model 30 and in okay shape. I have no idea if it works because no one could pay me to actually plug in the cord it came with!!!! I have another cord and new bag on the way. I have tried to firgure out if there is a way to tell an exact year but it doesn't...
I was wondering if these fabric type hoses can be cleaned. The hose seems to be in decent shape other than the fact it's nasty dirty in spots. Thanks :)
I LOVE to clean. We live in a bi-level so it's easier (and more fun) to have a vacuum for both up and down stairs. Currently, I am using my 1962 compact for the upstairs and my mid 90's tri-star for downstairs. We ripped up all the carpet and put in hardwood throughout but if I had any remaining...

Thanks!!!
Thank you so much for the information!!! I feel so lucky to have found this machine. I did replace the motor filter with a new tri-star one. I also replaced the fabric bag and paper bag with new ones from Tristar. I hope that's adequate?!?! It doesn't not say any number on the...
I found this Compact vacuum. I am super excited because this thing is in brand new condition! Owner said his grandmother used it once and stuff it in a closet. I have a mid 90's tri-star so this is my first older/vintage vacuum. How would I figure out it's exact age? Thanks
