Ohhhhhh yeah. I ordered a switch that matches the original off eBay a couple days ago, until then I added a standard porcelain wall switch. Doesn't quite fit, but works. I plan on replacing the main cord, but the motor to switch cord is staying as is. I am not taking it apart again lol. I also need to replace a couple of missing or broken bolts and nuts. The bag is a pillowcase folded over and zip tied, I have the original, but it has several holes and tears, and is severely dry rotted to the point where fixing it is futile. I will need to get a new one made in its image.
This vacuum is amazingly powerful. I was able to lift up the rug 8" off the ground! It is pretty tough to push, due to both the power, and the tiny wooden wheels. The fan is not far from the floor, in fact I can stick my finger directly in the fan without touching anything else!
The base is made of pressed steel like a Tonka truck, but unlike Mr. Gasko's model, it is nickel plated instead of black painted. Also, mine has a curve in the handle fork whereas his is straight. I think mine and his are the only ones known to exist at this time, if someone has another, or info on it, please speak up!
If anyone wants to see a video of it(no YT channel), email me at the address in my profile and I'll send the video.
The last 2 pics are of it running, the pillowcase does not hold much air lol
Sorry for pics 1 and 3 being blurry, it must not have focused very well. As long as it is not raining tomorrow, I'll take it out on the porch and get better pics.
