This Tristar.......

[vexorgtr]

I got this at the auction. Condition seems ok. It all works, just needs cleaned and deodorized.

I don't know for sure how to get the vintage on these. Well made machine though.

I am planning to sell it.

The first 2 digits on the serial number plate will tell you year of manufacture. I would keep that one though, it's from when Interstate Engineering was making the best TriStar's, and that one looka in really nice shape and fairly complete.

Since I have a fully tweaked out central vacuum, It will likely never see any use. I gave it a thorough wash, and I'm waiting on all the filters to dry. Winter (not quite freezing) in the garage is not lending itself to rapid drying of the filters.

I have no doubt that it is a fine machine, but I'd rather it go to where it would be enjoyed, rather than being abandoned in a basement where I found it.

If there's any interest in it, I am in the Cleveland Ohio area.

First 2 numbers of the serial are 91. Guess that settles the vintage.
