Welcome!

Fish? They were of my Eureka canister vac collection.

My photos and posts here from before 2021 are gone as well.

Ditto!

I have a black one like that gray one. Came with my Oxygen 6997. It has wheels and can clean low pile carpet. Common Electrolux item. Came in two widths and was adapted for the oval wand neck of the Oxygen 3 and Ultra silencer, and Ultra one.

I know of several, but they are up here, in Buffalo NY, Brooklyn, Long Island, and Washington state. You could ship it to one of them Old school audio of Long...

Not that I "need" any, but I have a nice XXX without any factory tools. The hose has been repaired and is restrictive too,. There are some on E-bay I think.
