A few weeks ago, our first lady of vacuums, Miss Tania Voigt, called me about a vacuum on facebook marketplace about an hour north of me in Lyons, IL
Well I picked it up a few days later...and indeed she was right, it is a fine example of a practically unused C-2 Revalation!
The seller bought an entire estate, and the elderly man who had it bought it new for his wife when they moved into the house. She died young, and he hired a cleaning service who brought their own sweeper. This machine has not seen use since the early 50's
Sadly the original cord is as brittle as can be, so I'll need to replace it and give the motor a good checkup before I can run the machine.
I'll let the pictures speak for themselves...
