LOL Bill:

I'd be tempted to go for that too if you were closer. Want to get the whole set now that I've started on them and I know where to find a top half that looks like new, just no tank or other parts. Unfortunately the shipping would be a killer.

Hey Joe:

Nice machine - Interesting how its been adapted to take the earlier model power nozzle cord (up to serial number 148999 that model came with the plain plug on the machine, from 149000 up they had the new 3 round pin plug)
 
CB-1

Very detailed eye you have.... Yes, I added the round outlet when I was unable to find a replacement cord for the power nozzle. I purchased the machine on ebay for 25.00 a few years back and have been trying to restore it. It came with the 2 blue cords for the hose and power nozzle. It gets used in my shop and does a great job. I have been using it with a 10 gallon shop vac dust bag inside. I have a second one that is in much better condition and is an earlier model with a standard 3 prong outlet for the power nozzle connection. Thank yoo for posting the diagram above. Was there ever a manual for these?
 
Hi Joe:

Yes there was a manual for them but I havnt been able to find one yet for most of the versions. Luckily a friend in Florida just sent me a scan of the one for the Brown one that I have.

I also have a picture of the tan version of the CB that I'll post later on when I get around to scanning it. LOL now if I could only find the actual machines and the parts to finish mine.

CB-1

I actually had a complete brown one ( CB-2 ) that I found in the basement of an office building I was in. It was getting tossed out. I saved it, used it for may years and sold it when I found the complete blue CB-1. I am still looking for a CB-2000.

I would like to get a copy of the brown manual if you are willing to share it.
 
Hi Joe - just sending it now.

Actually the Blue and Silver machine is the 3rd version of CB and the Brown and Silver is either the 4th or 5th version. (I've been told there was a Gold and Siver version between the two but no one has been able to confirm that one - Anyone have one of these?).

Here's the second version of CB. It was made to match the brown G & tan L. This picture was taken about 15 years ago. I have the powerhead from this machine but the owner didnt want to sell the machine itself at the time. Unfortunately it was destroyed in a fire about 8 years ago so no chance of getting it now.

Hey Doug...

That CB is awesome! I didn't even know they existed, always thought that the commercial model to match the bronze/tan model G would be a CA with the same color scheme. Do you know if it uses the same motor as the model G?
 
Hi again:

Just as a FYI the original CB (Model before this one) is in the same colours as the CA was but had the vinyl hose like the rest of these. I've seen one before but didnt get pics of it.

CB2000 chrome lid?

Did these ever have a chrome lid this would look sharp on any CB the pic from an owners manual appears to be a chrome lid am I wrong?
