A collector named Mike Balda did a 28 this way awhile back. This is what the end result looks like

A recent find from Jimmy Martin, enjoy the before and after shots.

A recent find that seems rather fitting. An Electrolux built in the Uk in 110v, made for US and Canadian military bases.

Might you have any black wheels? Or a grey 512 handle grip?

Without a doubt my Swedish built ZA30 I imported from Mexico. It is rated for 127 volts like most Mexican appliances. I adore the coloring and after some internal work it runs as quiet if not quieter than a G.

I may have a handle. I definitely have a generic handheld vacuum bag that can be fit to the cuff if its there.

I recognize that machine :) Did you fix the handle spring?

I'm still very interested in the (very old) Elite and possibly one of those Ohio Tuecs if you have them.

Did you by any chance run this backward? Also those motors use grease not oil.

It’s a Santo but it’s not *that* Santo. The cleaner on eBay would mount to a board with a fan chamber on the other end and a crank in the middle. The crank would turn the fan with a belt and the tube from that fan case would enter the bin(eBay) on the bottom. This one isn’t mine but it’s one...

Oh this is rare.... If only it weren't missing so much

There was also one in red called the Scorpion

I had this exact one when I was like 12. Yanked(literally) from overgrown grass in front of a barn at a yard sale. The handle release was busted so it was laying down for years, the motor I remember was completely rust covered and seized. I remember a a tiny plant growing in the headlight lens...

KirbyClassicIII- I've heard about these supposed Scott Fetzer built Health Mor cleaners but have never seen one. Might you have a pic?
