70s central vacuums.

[centralsweeper63]

I have been looking into 70s vacuum a bit more heavily, and I have hit a wall with central vacs. We didn't get central vacs at that point, though I know there were some pretty cool machines. I have watched all the Owen Perkins videos (literally all of them, even though I already have in the past) to get up to date on Thomas, Beamco, Nutone, Walvac, Cleanmaster, Vacuflo, Vacumaid and Filtex. Beyond that, I can't find much. It might be the internet thinking I don't care about American stuff, because I am in NZ, though I don't know. Any help would be appreciated.

Also look at Sears Kenmore. Made by Whirlpool who called theirs the Jack Vac when homes had phone jacks. Sears catalogs would have 1or 2 pages for central vacs with the other vac pages. They also had an insert in bag packs that said 'This hole in the wall will clean your house '.There was an economy model I've never seen, the more common better model and the deluxe that connected to plumbing and flushed dirt down the drain when vac shut off. The Kenmore tool caddy for central vac was same as that on lid of Sears best canister and hung under the hose rack. There was also a 60s central vac with a hose reel in the wall that I know nothing else about. If I could show pictures with less problems than trying to show FQ pictures yesterday you could see my Tevis McGee with the 'dust bubble '!!
