Ta Da! I had enough time today to put the Tradition together and finally try it out. The lousy cell phone pictures don't fully capture how much better it looks now! I used automotive polishing compound and a cloth wheel drill bit to buff up the aluminum parts a bit and it made a world of difference. The parts that I replaced include: the rubber bumper, the light bulb, the electric cord, the handle sticker, the bag (a nice DVC aftermarket unit with a Sani-Pocket and scraper), the wheels (now black Heritage units. The original blue ones were functional, but I couldn't resist those little hubcaps), the impeller (now metal), the safety switch, and the brush/belt assembly and it's hinges (now four brush). It's slightly louder than the Classic III and seems to emit a very faint electrical smell so it still may need some mechanical work, but it cleaned the carpet just fine and it looks pretty darn good.
