C6 vs C8 Manuals

The theory that they may have packed older manuals with later machines may hold water since the machines really didn't change and the average purchaser wouldn't care about model numbers. Greg got his C8 with a C6 manual. The "Compact Queen" Tania will be down this weekend and we will post some more intelligence then!

Here's mine

Here's mine.....came with the same box that Fred's did as well as the C6 manual. The manufacture dates and serial number show it was made in 11/73.

NIB Compact Winners Thread 5701

Vaccumalex got his Compact today, works great. I am impressed at how well the cyclonic head works. The head works as well as a power head. Sorry I can't post a photo I only have a regular camera. Haven't moved into the 21st century. Mine looks the same as the others. Pretty Cool!

Fred and Tania...

Congrats again Fred on your new toys! Gorgeous! It was great fun chatting with you and Tania, and joining you on your maiden voyage! What fun. I'm hoping to get one ordered this weekend. The poor sellers seem so overwhelmed, but very accommodating and friendly. Can't wait to get one... or two...

And to think . . .

Some call this the "Pig." It does look rather elegant in its pastel green. And Tania lends an even greater elegance to a beautiful machine!

NIB Compact

Tania and Fred,
Thank you for the glamor shots! I am now hooked on Compacts. The beautiful paint color,name plate,wonderful polished tools. I can hardly wait to get mine. The box is even stunnning with the colors and the Magnalite wording. Now I want a yellow one too! Maybe we should have a "Compact Club".
You look beautiful Tania!!!!

[luxg]

They sure are pretty aren't they?? Enjoy, still haven't decided if I am going to use mine or not.

 

[methodistbill]

Optional?

Was a power nozzle optional on this model?

 

[luxg]

Bill, I don't believe it was!

 

[airwaylady]

Hello Bill!

This early C-8 was a straigh-suction model but had the optional cyclonic turbinette which was an air-driven tool for your carpets. They did some available were these came from but I believe they have exhausted their supply.
It certainly is a beautiful machine and glad you got one!
Happy Vacuuming!
Tania

Woo Hoo!

My Compact came today! It was packed perfectly in another box too. Now I just wonder if the warranty is still good! LOL!
