Oreck Celoc canister

[kloveland]

I purchased this from Alex last year. Alex originally received this from another good collector friend of mine. There is not much information out there on these. When was it made? And for how long? I believe these were replaced by the DutchTech. Please correct me if I’m wrong! I will always accept correction!

PN is a true Oreck creation that's been around for many years. I first remember it being available in the early 70's! My private high school had an Oreck commercial canister with this PN!

Hmm

If Oreck originated l shape power nozzle you think they would have patterned it and made alit of money as electrolux was a people's favorite and in vintage terms still is.
I know some Oreck history. I'm not a Oreck Biff but if they originated L shape power nozzle that's good to know.

Attachments

I'm assuming these had the standard attachments included. Was there a way to attach them to the vacuum? Or was it like the Tristar with the attachment carrier on the wand? I can get out my Oreck order sheet and look. If it shows the attachments.

I recall that this came with a eight (8) ft. hose in grey, wire wound and more or less Kenmore attachments. Clip on wand tool holder. Greg
