Today's Thrift Store find.....

[fantomfan57]

Another surprise, a Tristar 101N. No attachments, BUT, had the attachment caddy with an adapter piece to allow for using generic tools.

Now drying after being washed. Wiped down everything, cleaned off paint scuffs. Now have to wait till everything dries completely. The exhaust filter is toast. The last time this vacuum was used, the did not have a paper bag in it. The cloth bag required extensive washing.

Here is before.....with price tag.

Looks like

An mg2. I'd highly recommend replacing it's single stage vm3 motor. While it provides good pressure it's airflow i found to be lacking. it used to pull a 1.5/10 on the baird meaning about 58.85 cfm at the hose. the dual stage from an exl could pull 4.5/10 or about 80.65 They are otherwise a nice machine the only other complaint i had was the original neck for the hard floor tool was way too short making it uncomfortable for someone of my height to use.

Regardless, you got a very good price for it! enjoy.
