That yellow and white PN was so lonely before it found a matching canister!

would love to see these at the convention
Would love to see these air-way models at the vacuum convention in a couple of weeks, I guess these were the first tandem air canisters ever made and as many of you know, I absolutely love canister machines.

So I just got 4 wood pulp airway bags, 1 to use 3 to set back so I'll probably make a video later showing how it works! I do need both curved wands and have a post over on the super market section,if you have a set you'd be willing to sell it appreciate it!

ok I dug my HB upright unit out of the bag room because this thread has re-inspired to move forward with my making of the HB nozzle.
Does anyone know if it matched the Airway tank in color?
My upright is all off white with a brown bumper and no label or markings whatsoever. I will try and post some pics of it tonight.

Yes please post tonight!
That HB upright by itself is a rarely seen piece of history.

The last 2 pics didn't really come out clear. The one picture has stamped on the bottom April 1974. Not sure if this was the manufacturer's date or service date.
The last picture says Clinton Industries a division of scovill model 471

Bingo! That’s it.
Just like the one I saw 38 years ago. Haven’t seen one since.

Its the first one I've ever seen.
Do you remember what color the one you saw was and what the bag looked like?

One of the very few pieces of literature I have seen is a color ad in a mid 60s Readers Digest.My copy would now be 'in a box somewhere'.But I should have at least half of the upright in the attic at the old shop that must be emptied/down sized.I recall the colors being cream/tan/brown with a rather plain vinyl bag.Who would like to be 3rd to visit and remove vacs??Yes,2 other collectors have made spring visits.Who will be next?!?
(There is also a RARE HB round canister that I have only seen in pictures.)

Oh Jimmy,
I would love to come down at some point. Maybe sometime this early Fall after it cools down a bit I can gather a small group and come. Or just Shaylee and I. She has expressed interest to me about coming.
Would you happen to have the plate and brush roll for the HB upright?
