here are a few pictures of my vintage machine so far .

Good assortment of some of the more popular vintage vacs! What are their model numbers? The 89 could be either a ZB89 or 89E; the Discovery II had 3 successive model numbers as upgrades were made, and I think Compacts model numbers were made in more than one color.

Not a bad start!

Belive it or not the discovery i  got i na  yard sale  for 20 $   i think its the first series  due  to it saying  Discovery  2.


 


My  89 is  a zb 89   il double  check   but my  cxl  is a  50  anniversary   tristar freebe  0$ .


My Compact is  a  C8  but the zb  hose was shot so  it  hose went to the  zb 89 and i put a electric hose on the c8.

Sweet collection & awesome prices! If you want parts for the ZB89 & possibly others check out Canadian collector Doug Smith's website that also has his contact information: smithcollection.altervista.org

Forgot to mention that the manufacturer's ratings stamp on the DII is on the hood and can be viewed when the handle is lowered to the ground.

I'd be careful about those vintage vacs, because they might've been used to pick up asbestos, or might contain asbestos it the machines. I'm not entirely sure if's the case, but it might be a possibility.

I am  not aware of any of  them having asbestos in  the electrolux  or tristar  Compact    i change the fitler and bag the day i receive them always   and do so  regularly .


 


 


Any IEC  Compact //lux expert care to chime in  on this   ???   i never heard of it ty .


 


 


I have look on older tread  seem Aerus electrolux did not use  it but compact i dont think  so   ...

 

[amtraksebo1997]

I'd still recommend blowing them out with compressed air on a windy day, preferably when wearing a respirator, then showering afterwards.

I haven’t ever encountered asbestos in any my older machines but the oldest machine I have is late 60’s Early 70’s so that may be a factor.

 

[thevacomaticiec]

I  have never encounter asbestos   in my vac ,   have  use  em since  2013  no issue  here   change bag  filter  . I   only  use the machine picture above  no  issue  thanks   .


But  if  it comes up  il be careful i  will  add tho i do  completely    disassemble  my  vintage vac upon   aquirering them and  clean  en  sanitize as one should

Ok, do you blow them out with compressed air? and do you do it outside on a windy day while wearing a mask?

Well that's a relief, and sorry about being pushy about the asbestos thing. I was just worried that you were at risk for being exposed to asbestos. I've also got anxiety issues, so that's mainly why I was worried. Anyways, enjoy your new vacs!
