Strange Henry Vacuum

[ultimatevacman]

Hi everyone,

as some of you know, I'm a big fan of Numatic vacuums,
and I came across this on google.

It looks like a Henry Turbo, but what caught my eye was the wand/extension piece connected to the turbo head, it's like a triangle shape, and it looks really odd.

Sorry the picture is small, it's the only one I could find.

If anyone has any info on this it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

- Joe

I believe that's just an early version of the Henry Turbo before the two piece electric wands were introduced.

Thanks! I have never really liked the electric wands, being plastic.
Although the newer Henry Turbo say's "Henry Turbo" on the top, but this looks like a normal HVR200. Also, on the newer Henry Turbo the Powerhead output socket is on the front. My HVC200 has a socket on the back for an optional Powerhead, but I think most early Numatic's and all of the Henry's until the white outlined writing was introduced had one.

I have no idea why they would get rid of the socket, as it's a nice feature.
I'm considering buying a PN for my Henry.

PN's for Henry

I didn't know you could get a PN for a Henry I have a Henry out in the garden shed that's about 5/6 years old Only used for cleaning patio BBQ area and the cars, (if I every clean them myself I usually end up going to the local valet centre) I'm going out to look at it later and see if its got a socket for a PN, I have never seen one

Well if it's only 5/6 years old it won't have a socket for a PN.
It's only on Henry's up until about 1999.

Possible "frankenvac"?

Looks like a Sears Craftsman shop vacuum with Electrolux Epic 6500SR wands & Eureka World Vac PN.

Could this Numatic Henry Turbo be a vacuum made under USA specifications?
