    Sunbeam Challenger

    I do love pulling it around but it's come to its last mission here. Really should be used with proper bags which are hard to get. Had it open yesterday & cleaned it out. Really does have tremendous suction but don't like the exhaust as it has to come thru cordwinder & it loses alot before it...

So what your saying is they have a copper plating over steel? I was wondering...
