Kenmore canister from the 1970's

I have a Sears Best canister vac in perfect working condition. I desperately need a hose. Mine is all duct tape. The switch is in the handle and the tank end is straight rather than curved. It is ivory and brown with a tool tray. The canister is marked 4.1. Does anyone have a hose for this vac?

Super-Sweepers vacuum is the full sized canister. The canister stricklybojack showed is the smaller model. It is about 3/4 the size of Super-Sweeper's and has a one stage motor under that plastic cage. The full sized models had two stage motors and the motor fan housing was in the bag chamber. Both used a 5023 bag but the bag chamber on the full sized models is much larger. The easy way to tell the two apart are the smaller models had the plastic cage over the motor fan and the rear face. The full sized canister had a removable panel with a square louvered motor exhaust opening and a round opening where you could plug the hose in and use the vacuum as a blower. The smaller version didn't have the removable panel and it only has one small round opening in the rear for a motor exhaust.
