The definitive vacuum cleaner of my childhood. I used to go into Wards almost every weekend throught the 1980’s , and would check out the newest and greatest in vacuum cleaners. This was one that I personally sold to a customer during the fall of 1982, when I was in the store, playing with the machines. The regualr sales guy was busy with another person, and the lady who was looking also, asked me why I was playing with this PARTICULAR vacuum. The rest of the story is inside.
Yay for 6 pushbuttons!!!
Chad,
That is so awesome that you found this vac. It is just beautiful, and what a steal too. You must be very excited.
Also if you want I have a package of NOS Ward’s bags for that machine I will gladly send you to go with your new toy.

Good job on preserving stuff like this!
We had one of those close to 30 years ago. I still have 2 original Power II belts from it to this day!
