WOW, how cool,,,ive never seen one of these in Blue before. Those hoses with the hand grip are really nice,,,and rare these days. Congrats on getting it!
Im kicking myself for giving away one of these to a friend a few years ago why did i do that!? GRRRRRR
It was exactly the same as this model,only in orange,(and the Tool Pac and attachments were an ivory color, it also had the seperate steel button lock wands for the floor brush),,bought new by an Aunt and Uncle in 1975,,,they also kept it in perfect condition, other than they had hung the hose on a hook, which left a permanent bend in it,,,but i do remember this vacuum having tremendous power,,even the Cordaway spring was so strong and tight,,it whipped the cord back in so fast you had to stay clear of it, or you'd get hurt!
With a hepa type bag and filter,Vibra Groomer brushroll and new belt,,,i would think even today, this vacuum would be a top performer.
Thanks for sharing the pic!
