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.

That is totally understandable and would do that with a red princess if I had one because of the rarity.
 
I have a little paper bag that I fill with an IEC compact round dusting brush, square Electrolux dusting brush, Kirby g5 crevice tool, nilfisk crevice cone, IEC compact c4 upholstery tool and an Electrolux ZE65 upholstery tool.
The old style IEC round dusting brush is one of the best ever made and they are still available.
