The first two numbers in the serial number is 87, does this mean the unit was manufactured in 1987?
The vacuum isn't in bad shape, it actually looks better than it did on the ebay listing. I bought it on eBay because I've wanted one for years, and I guess there just weren't many sold in my area, because I've never come across one or even met anyone that has one.
Although the plug was replaced at some point in its life. It works, but there doesn't seem to be any change in power or sound when I switch from low to high and back again. Is an indication that the motor was replaced at some point?
I also noticed that there seems to be some burn residue around the switch itself, on the red paint. The kind you would expect to see if the switch had shorted out in the past. But the switch itself looks good.
I've never even seen a TriStar much less used one. Should switching from high to low be discernible? Will I have to take it apart to figure out what's going on?
While the listing is up you can see pictures here:
