There was also the ZC89, which looks like the 90 but has one rear button on the back and no cord winder. These were made in UK and in Mexico for the Mexican market. Also seen some Luxes branded as Kenmore south of the border...

I have a couple weird ones I'll show soon. The cleaner you have marked as a red z55 is a Godfrey's rebuild Aussie only z40. Originally sold in the same skin as a UK 55.

I've been to Jimmy's shop twice. Both times I left with more than I went for and he was nice and accommodating. If you are willing to spend some time looking through the stuff and are within a day's trip of it, I would say it is absolutely worth it.

Tellus was their old export name for a time. I adore that older machine! Would that be.. 30s? 50s?

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.
