Hi, can anyone tell me if any old upright vacs came chrome or nickel plated? If so what brands/models were plated.
I tried to buff a Premier vacuum and a Kenmore Imperial vacuum today and the parts look to have possibly been chrome or nickel plated?? Thus, why the polished parts look so terrible.
Next challenge is to try to save these vacs from the recycling bin - so if you know how to fix these parts please let me know (re-plating them in not an option as I am sure each part would be in the $75-$100 range).
