Ok so after much consideration regarding all the info I recieved about my shop vac, I am willing to lower the price substantially. I'll admit my price was pretty high in the beginning. That was based partially on lack of knowledge and partially on sentimental value. Tolivac if you are still...

thanks Hey guys thanks for the info. I've been working on it. It's not finished but ill post pics tomorrow of my progress. I'll keep u posted.

. Tolivac I appreciate your opinions and advice. I didn't clean it up too much because I wanted to show it as is. I can and will work on it and make it look much nicer so it can be seen in a better light. Also I can't help the fact that it has no tools or hose. However I have been searching for...

Any opinions on what its worth? Let me know what you think

. No there is no suction ball. It's for dry pickup only.

ss This tank is about 20-30 gallons and is stainless steel also. The rest is a softer kind of metal, but heavy. Once I find out the history on it I may be open to selling it but it won't be cheap. I love this thing. Remember the oreck commercial with the bowling ball? Well I think this one...
