Jeff you might be right after all it is a C-EXTRACTA
Don't see no power cord if it were a power head or brush of some sort. don't really look like a drag wand either.

Cool, 70's retro.
It looks like the first portable I cleaned with, except mine was red. I guess it pays to hang on to the left over parts.

I had a similar setup/wand back in 90 when I work for local school district
I used to clean with these Extracta machines for 22 years.
That wand has a mild steel tube which is chrome plated andas such can rust on the inside and cause fluff to stick and build up. The head is 12" wide cast aluminium and it has a scrub brush fitted to the rear. They are awkward and heavy.Extracta have been a main player in the UK for about 30 years although they dont seem to update their equipment so much these days.

The also use an upholstery tool that is about six inches wide and your name need to be Arnie to use it everyday :wink:
Ooroo :shock:
That pic right there is an advertisement for WHY you need a hide-a-hose at least 10' long, no brass touching the fabric.
Why those lil' 5-6' footers are sold I don't even know. :shock:
