Calling Dr. C. R. Lester

[ge1969]

Hi all! I directed this to Mr. Lester because I know that he had a couple of these machines at one time, but anyone who can give me a little help would be greatly appriciated. I recently got a Modern Hygiene tank machine, but no hose or tools, if anyone has any extras, I'll be more than happy to buy them. Thanks, Trg

Is it one of these?:

Hi lux1521! Yes, that machine's exactly like mine, except mine's still dirty and unpolished. Trg

So that is the one you have. I don't have any attachments either but I do have the hose. I was thinking you might be able to modify a Royal or Filter Queen hose. I know a Royal hose won't work without modification because I have tried it. It came close but something needs to be ground down slightly. The filter queen hose would need even more modification but they seem to be more common and probably cost less. Once you get a good hose you could use Royal or Filter Queen attachments until you get the proper set, which could take quite a while. I have seen a few of these models on ebay and most diden't have attachments.

With that configuration atleast you could use the vacuum. I think you will certainly want to stay on the lookout for an orignal set as they are some of the coolest look attachments I have ever seen. The attachments are just not too common.

By the way, does anyone know how to get one of these apart? They did a very good job of hiding all of the fasteners. I want to polish mine (it really could use it) but I can't very well use a stationary polisher on a complete vacuum.
