the 612s bag is in excellent condition and i want to keep it that way so i was wondering if anyone had done any thing more permanent than to just bung a paper bag inside for example has anyone cobbled up some kind of fill tube like the ones fitted to the later machines so that paper bags can be...

yes i did the exact same thing with mine it worked well .I also run some bath sealant around the joint [underneath where the base fits onto the main body you would be suprised how much air escapes here ] it makes the cleaner float better
