Yes, it will! ~Ben

There was also the 303 hose. The 303 kit was what had been available from the 1950s to the late 1980s. ~Ben

Very true... most of my machines are Kirby and Royal, and mostly 1989 and older. ~Ben

When I think bagless, I'm actually referring to machines with a shake-out (dump) bag, because there are no inner disposable bags to change. Kirby and Royal were among them. ~Ben

A rebadged Sanyo that was sold by Sears (note the Kenmore branding on the nameplate). ~Ben

Paul, The only other way to determine the true age of the product is to look at the date stamps of the armature and field coil, but these can be replaced at times. ~Ben

Speaking of the Black & Decker Collector, do you remember the original 9375 Collector and the 9376 Shop Collector from the early to mid 1980s? ~Ben

Spencer, Long time, no post! What a great find, indeed! ~Ben

Jeff, I did realize that. ~Ben

Hi Jeff, I am glad that you were able to win this on eBay! I suggested it to you because I remember you used to sell Electro-Hygiene 903s before in 1974. ~Ben

bobbyderegis Bobby, The dots inside the circle with the year stamp refer to the month of the year built. For example, if the circle says "79" as the year, and there are 11 dots in it, the cleaner was built during November 1979. ~Ben

I think this one is a 1985 model. The 2061A came out in 1981, and it had the older Eureka-Williams-era logo on it. ~Ben

Looks like a model 231 from the mid-1970s. It will be from 1974 or later if it has the receptacle for the power nozzle. ~Ben

For those of you that don't know, Scott & Fetzer first acquired what was then Douglas-Quikut back in 1964. ~Ben
