I've sucked uP a few dimes, but nothing too major. I don't think it should break it; after all it's made of metal. It would maybe put a few dings in it. I'm not saying you should go and vacuum up coins and other metal objects, and I wouldn't let that lady anywhere near a treasure like a D80...

Well you all know that I like my tradition! The blue beautifully compliments the chrome, such a pretty vacuum.

Can't go wrong with an epic!

BAGGED! Suction is easily maintained, and no clogged filters. Plus, when you empty a bag less,the dust goes everywhere unless you're outside. And I find Bagless vacuums often leak.

...And I'm very exited. I'll keep updating with my progress, so I won't have to make a seperate thread when I'm done. :) Wish me luck on my second restoration project! (the Sanitaire is a 1986 model, so I posted it here)

I never knew that. Doesn't Rubbermaid make plastic containers?

Hey thanks guys, I'll snap a picture if it's till there. :)

I don't know I guess I just jumped because this was the first time I had ever saw one in person.thanks for the advvice.

Alright, so I was at the local goodwill, and I saw a red fairfax, with most of the attachments. But heres the kicker: it was $249. I am going back tomorrow to see if it will be half off, but stil, is even $125 worth it? (I'll trey to snap a picture o it while I'm there, if the vacuum is still...

Yay! Correct bag.

Havent seen one! Thats pretty interesting, thanks for sharing.

Well could we see another pic of the bag, looking at the patch this time? Otherwise it looks pretty original.

Brians right.   The 1CR Does look somewhat like a classic Ω or Classic III, but theres a lot differences:   Classic 1CR Diff.:   Bumper on hood different Still has Sanitronic and 500 style Toe-touch control No plastic plate over switch Still has D80 style handle, with the...

Congrats! Even being a Kirby elitist, Electroluxes are mighty fine vacuums and Im proud to own one. :)

Ive saw Euro-Pros at department stores like Linens &Things and B, B, &B

As for online resources, I would go with goodvac.com, or -if youre extremely lucky- ebay.  

Holy crap thats awesome! Very very nice; Must be pretty rare, eh?

VERY VERY NICE!  Its not too often you see those Sanitronic-styly nozzled Heretages. For $10, even thogh a broken fan blade, was a steal!

Rigid ones came somewhat later, the smooth ones were on anything up to about the 510.

The first one is a replacement, because, like Sean said, you can tell by how far it goes down. And the ribbed handle was used al the way up to the D50, which was the last irby to have the "Stick" type handle.
