I needed that laugh...just wow...wasn't the 2017 out in the early 1970's?
My parents had a 1030 upright and paired it with a 2017 canister for their first home in 1972. This was before I was born but remember my mom talking about the vacuums before she went with a 1975 Sears Best Canister vacuum...I remember them in the garage as kid, not sure what happened to them...
I recall seeing vacuum ads for the 2017 and they were selling for $29.99 back then...too funny.
