C Bag Adapter
Todd,
Congrats on getting an XXX! They are wonderful machines, and if you take care of it, will last you for a long time! I too use one in my office, and I get tickled at all of the stares and comments I get on it! It's actually proudly displayed when not in use, and it has started more conversations that you can imagine! That bag adapter you mentioned is about as rare as hen's teeth. I have over 150 XXX's and only ONE bag adapter, and I had to fight to get that one! In fact the old XXX it came in looked so trashed when I got it, I didn't think it could even remotely run......boy was I sure wrong! I hooked the cord up to it and that old motor purred to life......nevermind the cloud of "garbage" it blew out the exhaust port, it still run nonetheless! As Tom and some of the others have said, you can't go wrong with a good modern hose for it, and the non-electric hoses are relatively inexpensive. I have used the Hoover C bag trick on many of my XXX's and it works wonderfully, just be careful when removing it as you don't want a nasty face-full of dust when you go to toss the bag! Enjoy your "new" vacuum and be sure to post lots of photos when you get it!
Steve
