I have been trashpicking for 10 years now, and have found literally DOZENS of vacuum cleaners over the years, most of which I have been able to salvage. Some of them I have made a video about (keywords "Marshall Curtis" and "vacuum cleaners"). They were mostly Bissells, Dirt Devil's, Hoovers, and Eureka's. I found one damaged Riccar SupraLite, one scrappy 1993 vintage Rainbow with the hotel size water bin, and just a few days ago, my first Oreck! Mine looks a lot like yours, except it has the power switch on top of the same type of "helper" handle you have. The floorhead is white instead of gray, the power cord is three pronged, and the nearly identical bag says "ORECK CELOC HYPOALLERGENIC FILTERING SYSYEM." I cannot tell what exact model or when it was made because the "VIN" plate is mostly wiped off. Can anybody out there tell me anything more about my unit? Mine "runs and drives" but it is LOUD! Also, I cannot get the bag to inflate despite not being able to find any holes in it. Upon taking the floorhead off, I find it is surprisingly relatively clean. Nevertheless, I will clean it up as best I can. I ran the motor with the bottom parts off and I notice that the motor arcs and sparks some. Is this normal? All I wish to do is just clean it up and do what little fixing I can, then possibly sell it, or give it away to someone who knows how to work on them.
I had one of these over 20 years ago and it was used for home and office cleaning.I loved it.I'm now ready to go back to Oreck.

The date code 10335 means it was built on the 335th day of 2010. That was Dec. 1st which was a Wednesday. Your vacuum just turned 13 years old🎉

The bottom of the bag is incorrect
