I have a model 29, I bought from someone on this forum. It is my favorite vintage machine. I found a DVC
brand shake out replacement bag NOS. My mom's girlfriend bought one new, when
she got married. She had it serviced regularly and was still going strong when she passed away.
Her daughter has it now. Anyway I helped her when the carpet height adjustment broke and
she taught me when to empty the shake out bag. Don't over fill the bag, take the time to take it
outside and dump the bulk in a trash can or bag. Then shake the bag vigorously down wind........
put the bag clamp back on and you are good to go. I have a garage vac and once in a while I turn
the bag inside out and vacuum the inside. The bag still looks new. I also found new brush strips
for it, they are hard to find.......Of all my vintage machines, this one is used the most, then my
Hoover Model 70 Convertible.
PS That original bag on your machine is absolutely beautiful. They are very rare.......
