Spencer,

As I said before when you brought this up here previously... it would look just like the later 654, using the same 4.5 amp motor and single-row brush roll, but when it came from the factory, your cleaner would have had a plain polished belt cover plate and a Magnum Blue outer bag (shake out), meaning that the gray bag and the blue Adjust-O-Rite on yours are replacement parts.

BTW, what specific parts for your 154 are you looking for? Please try to explain this in detail.

Spencer,

The correct replacement parts you would want are:
Hinged bag assembly, blue - 2-060640-A01
Carbon brush assembly - 3-672105-000 (order two)
Adjust-O-Rite plate, red - 2-080169-300 or 2-088169-300
Revolving brush assembly - 2-059721-000
Nozzle guard (what you call baseplate) - 1-285270-000

Good luck and happy New Year's!

Spencer,

If you still have this machine today, may I ask you this: what do the markings on its power cord, if any, say?

If it is the thin cord, it will read "18/3 SVT" on it (part no. 1-031136-100), but if it is the thicker one, it will say "18/3 SJT" on it (part no. 1-060836-100).

BTW, the gray denim bag currently on this machine would match up with the January 1987 build date, but I think it originally was a shake-out type (part no. 2-061840-101) given this model was entry-level, not the one with the zipper (part no. 3-061842-101) for disposable bags.

Here is a model 655 from 1989 that has the shake-out bag; it looks very similar to your 3-154.
