To me, the "Martyversal" is among the most beautiful of all American tank vacuum cleaners.
I hit the vacuum jackpot today!!! A parody of thread 2793.

Getting that one lousy picture of that truck about killed me. It was off the road about 300 feet and I had to make four trips (uphill both ways)! Then try explaining to the owner what the hell I was doing----
Alan-What Kitty?
Michael-you bet! That Universal is getting the whole treatment. Rechroming, Rebuilding, Repainting. And yes it will be that color.
Mike, the original motor was replaced with a Lamb unit and will not be able to return to an original Universal motor. After I get it finished, I'll know how powerful it is. I almost don't care, it is such a unique design, I'll just look at it when it's done anyway.

Rick,
Enjoyed this thread and almost fell out of my chair laughing! Must have been a lot of work just setting up the pictures!! Is the older Lux a model XI? Looks better than the XII-A that I got last month. I know what you mean about the lack of suction on that one. The tag on my XII-A says the motor is only 350 watts, and I'm sure the XI isn't any higher.

The tag on the XI says it's 230 watts. The can is also smaller. I don't know how it compares to the V, but it's about 5 and 7/8" diameter. The XII is about 6 and 1/2" Chances are I will never own a model V, so when this one hit EBay, I just kept at it till I got it. I has no cord, no bag, but it does have the bag ring and filter. I'm going to have to research this model quite a bit before I tear into it.

Here's a picture of my XII
I didn't think to take too many pictures of it in it's before state. But this is the end product. I actually have all the tools for this minus the hose. I even have the Vaporizer. The Bakelite connector on the front of the machine was designed to except later (XXX and after) hoses.

Beautiful XII, Rick!!
I doubt if my XII-A will look anywhere near that good when I'm done with it, but I'll do the best I can. Scroll down to the thread "Latest Acquisition" and you'll see that I have my work cut out for me!! Only have two of the original tools but hope to get the rest eventually.

Hey Rick
Great job on the XII - do you want one of the original threaded connectors for it? I have a couple of extras.
