Model 103!
The pink and gray model 103 in reply no. 12 is the first vacuum cleaner I ever remember. By the time I was about four or five years old, I could take the thing completely apart and put it back together again. I've never seen another one like it. The thing was still at my parents' house until they moved in 1997. It had been out in the garage for a number of years, basically pulling duty as a car vac. The hose and cord were both held together with black electricians' tape. I'd love to find one like it, just for sentimental reasons.
Oh, and the paint job on that 'Moscow' clone model is wild. It's interesting how tooling for obsolete American products kept finding their way over to the USSR.
