All your brochures remind me of a problem at a house I use to own just south of Denver. The house was built by an airline piolet with almost everything done by himself, his family and friends. It took him 20 years and 2 wives. It had 2 central vacuum systems. The one in the garage only had 4 inlets but one leg never had very much suction. Obviously there was a clog but I was getting older and couldn't clime around in the attic so eventually I hired a central vac company to solve the problem. After several hours of sawing pieces of pipe apart and gluing them back in place they found the problem. One section of pipe was clogged with the rolled up manual on how to install central vacuum cleaner pipe. We all had a good laugh and my wallet got a bit thinner.
Fascinating stuff. Thanks for sharing all of your interest in these systems; plus going over the documentation. I love seeing the old paperwork as well.
I grew up around these systems from the early 1990s in the Pacific Northwest. They're excellent units; My parents had a 560 fitted to their home almost 20 years ago and it still runs and performs like new. A few years ago when I got my own place, I had a 460q fitted and I'm convinced that no portable vacuum can touch a central vac in terms ability to remove pollen and allergens.
I remember my first experiences with Vacuflo. One of my neighbors I used to vacuum for I think had a 360 and I wasn't all that too impressed with the performance. To be fair, it was likely dropped because of the Hayden wire reinforced Superhose. No wonder they bought portable vacuums later on. And I was also later baited by Think Vacuums on their website convincing me on one of the blogs that true cyclonic is the worst way to go. So as a kid I thought Vacuflo was trash. But then I vacuumed one of my aunt's neighbors that had I think was a 566Q cause I remember the soft start up feature, it blew me out of the water. Very powerful especially by how already full the canister was like way over. Loved Vacuflo since then and still highly recommend them. I'd have no problem if I had one put in, not just only not minding them but would love to have one as they're the only bagless vacuums I can absolutely handle with using. If I can find either the same 566Q I used before or the 760 with the old Vacuflo stickers like in the video, that'd be awesome! The current stickers they use today are just too small and not as eye appealing in my opinion but I can live with them if I'm unable to find a used unit. Most important part I want on the unit is the registration sticker even if I bought one used, I think it looks cool (my favorite would be the green ones like also in the video). Just like how I think the Anti-Allergy Hospital Grade S-Class Filtration markings on SEBO looks cool until they were recently ordered by the EPA to have them removed in case you're wondering why they aren't there on their vacuums anymore today.

@@Bryan1342 I agree! Wouldn't be without a system in my home. The 560s are awesome. They just run and run.
Realy neat system thanks for the summary.
My house I just bought has a working model 26 but I’m unsure what attachments can go with it ?

I have a pretty nice electrolux model CA. Pretty decent shape. Are they worth anything?
