Unique Columbus polisher

[gsheen]

So I went to see a friend who owns a Vacuum repair shop. When I got there I saw this polisher.I have seen similar ones but never seen this one. Its based on a older more popular model but with a plastic hood

He said it was for me that a customer had walked in and wanted to sell it so he bought it knowing i would want it

3 Brush system, metal base

Right so at my shop I opened it up, The guy who my friend bought it from said something had burnt out in the motor.

all that must have blown was the suppressor as there was tin everywere but the offending item had been removed. I simply wired the machine up without it and it ran sweet

AAHH when motors were properly made

For the sake of sounding dumb here, am I seeing it right that it has a bag attached as well? Is that just to make it resemble a vacuum cleaner? I am very intrigued by its design!

All Cleaned up

Its a suction polisher, Kind of cool, I hope to post a vid later

This machine was designed here in South Africa and one of my most sought after vacuums used the same base and motor just with a roller brush

Just a thought

Concord was the in-house name for appliances sold by Dion's. Could this machine be a B30 with plastic shroud?

Yep , Thanks man I did not know that, by any chance do you remember what the model of the vacuum version of this machine.The columbus version had a orange top and the Electrolux version had a yellow lid
