Send me your complete name and address in a private message, or send to my email address (in my profile). I'll have the shipping department send you the replacement handle upgrade kit. I already have the serial number as well as the model number for the warranty report.
Don't forget, the Vacuum Cleaner Museum is open to the public six days per week, 9 to 5 (I only work 5 days per week though). You are free to call with any questions. The phone number is 573-265-0680. I'm prohibited from selling new vacuums to anyone who has not personally visited the Museum and signed the guest book - but I can help any Simplicity or Riccar owner with repair parts and service advice.
