Save a vacuum, use it to clean up, then break it with the next batch. :-D

If your lucky enough to find a KIRBY they are usually all stainless or alum or cast alum

clip the cord and pull the motor. the rest goes back in the trash.

Yep. Found a Kirby the other day. Its a bugger to pull apart and has lots of steel star screws on the cast (so I have to get the right equipment!) but I think its great working with the older stuff. It makes you appreciate the quality of those machines before the ****ty and cheap obsolescence era took off!!
