G E Swivel Top

[washendry]

I saw a GE swivel Top Vacuum at Thrift store, all attachments were included, (its Mint Green) only problem I saw was a Kink in the hose near the wand end. Is this an easy fix and or are hoses still available? It would go well with my Kenmore Coranado and my Aunts old Filter Queen, Any Ideas? $20.00
Thanks, Kim

I'd say grab that thing. I had a green GE swivel-top in the 80's and 90's. I tossed it out when I moved, wish I hadn't but there you go. My one gripe was that there were no paper bags available for it, but I made do with a large open ended bag I found.

I would guess that the kinked end of the hose could be addressed by cutting it off and reattaching to the fitting. You might want to ask over in the vacuumland forum.
