This is my 1971 Comapct electra interstate c8 n ew motor runs sweet full tool setas you can see she is i n very good condition .
This restoration took a while but ive upgraded the hose, tools , rebuilt the power head , new fitler hepa , new paper bag liner , new cltoh bag, clean the body and cord bumper looks like a NIB vacuum and works like one to .
You did an amazing job fixing this up, as if you had to use it. I always loved vacuums but I am not as good at fixing them up. Congrats on finding this one.
Thanks !!:) Her motor hada bad growling noise at wind down so i replace the motor entirely , hose, wands tools gold of course and rebuild the power head needs nothing now Plug and play oh and i upgrade the mtoor fitler my best work yet i think.
Replace the power head works great , and adjusted the motor gasket in place works so much better .
Looks identical to a tri star vacuum i bought years ago cost me $1700 .
