So beautiful. Excellent restoration

Super interesting switch. I wonder if they used two different ones through the 700 range. My 700s had this one. Sorry for horrible Pic this one is very old

My model 700 also has the stamped-out H switch like brando_husky's one. You wouldn't believe how delicate and fragile they are, it wouldn't take much to snap it off completely. Maybe the one that is on Kyle's vac was a later revision to the design of the switch? I also have a 1960's rebuilt 700 that has the light switch style toggle.
 
My 700

Is a very early model. I believe they swapped to your style switches later.
Also this is not the only 700 I have with this switch.

Later models also had a patent script below the bag. Mine does not.

I'm just getting started on a model 700 restoration and could use some advice. What did you use to polish the aluminum with? I've cleaned the grit off it, but it still has a dull, flat look.
Also where did u get the bag? I just bought one off e bay but it's an aftermarket one, probably from the 50s judging by the script.
