TRI-STAR vacuum cleaner (#1)

THIS MACHINE was/is the one and only sale I ultimately ever made, in a summer in the 1980's "providing in-home demonstrations" of Tri-Star vacuums. Oddly enough, my own Dad bought it (whodathunkit?) and after all those years I've only recently inherited it myself. (working, I might add, as well as ever although its Turbo Brush powerhead and most of the accessories have gone by the wayside) Its hose and power cord have likely been replaced (more than once?) and its TRI-STAR name badge and exhaust cover have also gone missing. Pic 3 shows its serial number 8753695, pic 4 shows ID marks on its bottom.

It is one of three TRI-STARS in my current fleet... ;-) :-) :-)
