Have you seen the NZ swiveltops? In NZ we had the heatway turbo 800. In Australia they had the PYE Rotovac. Here is soem links.

Those NZ and OZ canisters look more like Eureka Roto-Matic canisters than G-Es, but they're still similar.

I think the PYE Rotovac was a heavily modified GE swivel top. The Heatway Turbo 800 is also a heavily modified GE swiveltop.

I think I got a bit mixed up sorry. I started to second guess myself so in an attempt to fix my mistakes here is what I found. The PYE Swiveltop is actually a heavily modified Eureka Roto-matic, so you were right there. The Heatway Turbo 800 is a heavily modified GE swiveltop machine.

No problem. I do that, too. Thank you for the links and clarifications.
