Wow. Does it have a name or model number? I'm weird for Singers but have never seen that model before.

If it is like any of my several Ryobi made Singer vacuums the plastic is terribly brittle and fragile. Nice to look at in a collection but not something you want to use. While moving a Singer power nozzle of roughly the same vintage slid off the end of the wand onto deep pile carpet from a height of no more than two and a half feet off the carpet. It shattered like glass ! No parts anywhere for them either. I was lucky in that the upper half popped off with minimal damage that is not visible and there was an NOS lower half in about the right color on eBay I bought but that was sheer luck.

Seems to be a heavy dutier commercial version of a singer. I know that there were some. I was watching a true crime story one time and in the background there were one of these I think it was a bit different but it had the same color s
Just FYI….the Japanese Ryobi company bought Singer in 1988. Which meant they took over the Singer vacuum factory at that time as well.
And this was just a few years before Matsushita Panasonic of Japan bought the Whirlpool vacuum factory in Danville. So by 1992, lots of Japanese companies were major players in the North American vacuum market.
