Thanks for the info. rugsucker. I checked out the Super Market thread like you suggested and learned a lot--besides seeing the crevice tool.
To me, that crevice tool looks like the ones from previous models (LX, F...), so did I understand you correctly that it was different--not only in color--but also in style?
What's interesting is that the G manual shows a sketch of a slim crevice tool--not the wide one. In fact, I also have an R manual with the same sketch. That made me wonder when the slim crevice tool was first used. I didn't see patents for the crevice tool on Charles Richard Lester's website, so I wonder if another company, or two, made them which could have been why there were different styles. Either that, or the artist that provided the sketches just drew a generic tool.
Not that important, I know, but I just want to make sure that I'm looking for the original part--not one from a different era.
