I'm not sure about the name but I can tell you that the body & hose design put it as being made by Switson Industries / General Signal Appliances in Welland, Ontario. Its the same design they used for the Watermatic, Regina, Viking and several others.

For the Ap100 and earlier motors you need a bearing puller to remove the bearing from the shaft and a setter to put the new bearing in place.

Hey Andy - as per request. My model 210

oops - sorry guys - thought I put this in the Super market

Hey Guys - Selling an extra of the Lewyt LV40. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/173766998051 Small dings on body, paint missing on top and inside (possibly from moisture) shown in pictures. Some rust spots on hose ends as shown in pictures. Slight bearing noise on slow down. Unfortunately I do...

Just cleaning out some of my stuff and realized I have WAY too many spare bags so I culled a bunch that I have extras of and thought I would give people here a chance at them before they go on ebay. I am asking $5.00 per pack or 3 for $10 with the exception of the Compact bags, which are a pack...

Did you oil the motor? If I remember correctly they used bushings instead of bearings which had to be oiled.

I picked up a GE CP100A at the Restore Saturday for $15. Unfortunately the Power Nozzle, Wands, Hose Cord and Floor Brush were missing. But at least the small parts were all there. This was one of the first Machines put out under the GE name after they got the rights to use the Regina Style...

A word of warning though. I try to avoid carrying them by the handle. The old lid catches tend to stick not quite in the locked position and, if it pops open while you are carrying it, it will break the hinge off.

I try to have plugs appropriate to the era on any of my English or European machines. Adapters are easily found if you want to use them but I have set up an outlet board with a number of different outlets styles on it that can just be plugged into a normal 240V outlet.

The Constellation hose is also a bit larger diameter so you would probably have some trouble fitting the Dial-A-Matic hose onto the machine end.

The CB had a cloth filter and an optional paper filter that went over the cloth filter.

It looks to me like the machine end for an upright hose. It would go in a machine that was made similar to the Royals where you remove the front cover plate and take off the belt. I'm not exactly certain what machine though. (Possibly Royal hand vac?)
