I need to buy some model cement today and see if it will hold together the broken handle on that Kenmore 2.5 Swamp Creature (that's my name for it now 
) from your home state (near by Daytona). Nothing has crawled out of so far (whew) but ooooh ooooh that smell .......
Sears Parts Direct shows the base for the little Powermate it came with is still available. 30 something year old part. Ha, we shall see. They've lied before.
Two of my favorite vacs were Craigslist finds from LA. All of a sudden people are asking three digit prices for old 1980's and 90's Kenmore canister vacs on Craigslist. The word must be out that the Desert Tortoise is out of his burrow and on the prowl.
