Thanks for this...
So satisfying to get an old vac clean and back to working order or a new vac out of the box & set up. Relaxes me just to see the process in these threads.
The photo i include is what i took out of a Silver King vacuum. These contents were wet as the vacuum was kept on a boat. I did a very basic cleaning just so i could store the vac for future work without smell or further rust damage.
I actually paid someone to haul this nasty vac away...but i will find satisfaction down the road when i use it successfully after a tear down like you just performed.
