Charles's Model E
You posted before I could finish my reply! BEAUTIFUL machine Charles! I'm jealous! Mine's in what I'd call "good" condition, but not excellent. With some cleaning, it should look great! I doubt I'll find an original hose, and I'll probably wind up using a replacement.
I think the cause of the whimpy suction on this machine was due to the huge quantities of fluff clogging up the static vanes in the 2-stage fan! Only about 2 air passageways were clear!
