The Lewyt I got from Hans was the 1957 model. It has the external cord that just lays on the floor during use. So inconvenient.

awesome vacuums
Tom, reading about some of those canisters, I'm drooling. That Apex sounds similar to the sunbeam dual deluxe. So, the Lewyt that you got, is that one of the zappers? Better be careful, lol. I think they made three power nozzle models, one was not a zapper but the other two were. That lady Kenmore sounds very nice, based on the time it was made, it would probably use the Ametek motor that I am so fond of. Sounds like everyone had a great time, wish I could have been there.

4750 motor
I think that motor was also used in the compact C6 and the Eureka canned ham vibrabeat. I absolutely love the sound of that motor, a nice pleasant sound, the Electrolux 1205 sounds very similar although it's a completely different motor. A nice D flat note, or I guess you could call it C sharp as well. I think Eureka may have also used that motor in their rotomatics of that time as well, and Airway also used it.

difference in motor sound
Compare the sound of those motors to the high pitch screaming jet motor sound of today's vacuums, the older motors sounded so much better, there are a few vacuums that still use two stage motors, but they are few and far between. That's why I love the sound of the rainbow e2 and Sirena, they sound like older motors.
