Here's another vacuum I added to my collection on 11/15/2017 for the total price of $35.08! It came from a Goodwill Outlet that had an eBay operations depot for larger items. This vacuum came straight from hipster central, Seattle Washington! It's in a "fixie" style similar to bicycles with a menagerie of different color parts like it was built from the ground up on a tight budget with junk parts.
I have not tested it yet or used it as of this writing on 2/6/2018 because I want to go over it and oil it and wash it before using it as well as repair the cord obviously. The red panel of the vacuum is weird to me, as I originally thought that it was hand-painted on purpose by the owner to make the machine look junky, but it looks like it is factory. None of it came off when I rubbed it, and there is no signs of the original paint chipping off under it or hiding under the trim. I also do not think that anyone other than a factory could pinstripe the lettering that perfectly?
Also does anyone know if the hose can be fixed by sawing off the damaged end and reattaching the coupler? And the electrical cord looks worse than it actually is. The inner wires are fine, but the outer sheathing used to be rubberized and it hardened with age and became brittle and cracked at all the bend points. You can snap it like a glowstick.
It also weirdly came with some unknown white vacuum accessories and some Rainbow tools that look brand new.
Enjoy the photos!
