And yet I have a 44 year old Kenmore Sears Best 4.1 with the very first example of using a Triac to turn the vacuum on and off and to vary motor speed, has a handle mounted 3-position switch to turn the vacuum and power nozzle on or off and a variable speed knob at the back of the lid and it is trouble free. The circuitry is inside a little perforated metal cage inside a corner of the motor compartment. Never a hint of problems from it.

Exactly! I have all one brand of machines, and like to have all the correct attachments (brown attachments and hose for brown machines and so on)

I will have all the original attachments but often because they are vintage and irreplaceable I use more pedestrian attachments I like for actual cleaning. Example, I won't use the original pale green attachments with some of my 1960s Kenmores preferring to use white 1970s attachments I have an abundance of.
