Tunis Blue Kenmore upright #116.7480

Someone on this thread posted 3 Kenmore uprights the one to the left was his grandmother's a model 116.711. the middle one ( the blue one) is the one I would like to talk about (116.7480 from 1957 t0 1958) I have the Burgundy version of this from 1950 t0 1954. It is model 116.719. Mine now needs some restoration I need to changeout the bearings in the motor. I have the new bearings. My Aunt Eleanor had the 1947 to 1949 version a model 116.716. If the owner of the Tunis blue one ever wants to sell it I will make it worth their while. Dones anyone have the attachment converter for these models?

I have the attachment converter for these models. It plugs directly into the back. I have a question for you about the bearings in the 719. Do the bearings have to be replaced in their entirety, or is there a shield that is removable so that you can re-grease the original bearing? If the entire bearing is replaced, do you happen to know the bearing number? My 719 could use some bearing work as well.
