   Just curious, does anyone know the Original name for this 50 +  year old machine and what is different about it from other machines?

Sebo also has an adapter that lets you use this on just about any brand of canister or central vacuum.  It's not a huge seller but the customers that have it like it.  I've used it on my own floors and it does do a nice job at refreshing the look.<BR><BR>Dusty

Cool!

Im wondering how the adaptor would be used on other brands - unless it has a power attachment socket of its own that can be adapted to other sizes of tubes plus loads of cable, the polisher head has its own adaptor socket built in for the sebo uprights and canisters just like the excellent ET-1 power head and like that I noticed the polisher attachment also has a stop function button for the brush.

The adapter simply plugs into the disco neck (or any sebo pn neck for that mater) and allows you to insert any standard wand into it.  The cable that comes with the adapter is a standard 2 pin plug and is long enough to run the length of a pair of wands. Works like a charm.

This is just one of the SEBO DISCO floor polishers, called the Classic.  There are several more complete with assorted floor pads.  Reminds me, as Venson noted, of the 50's Electrolux floor polishers, which were very similar in design and operation however were metal.

From the SEBO Web Site:
Professional performance for gloss hard floors
It has never been easier to let hard floors* look like new. The innovative Ultra-High-Speed (UHS) Floor Polisher SEBO DISCO works with a new patented disc drive. Its unique automatic mechanism adjusts the floor pad to the optimum setting for the floor. With a rotation of 2000 U/min and a special coating on the floor pads, the SEBO DISCO creates a brilliant gloss shine. The attached SEBO vacuum cleaner removes fine dust during polishing. The result is a spotlessly clean floor. This is optimal floor care, only from SEBO – easy and without the use of chemicals.

SEBO DISCO is suitable to be connected to the following SEBO vacuum cleaners: SEBO FELIX, AIRBELT K3 & AIRBELT C3.1.
  • Automatic height adjustment of the maintenance pad
  • Innovative floor pad technology
  • Integrated dust removal (with attached SEBO vacuum cleaner)
  • Flexible turning swivel neck
  • Bumper
  • Three rubber-coated castor wheels
  • Electrical overload protection
  • Capacity: 200 Watts
  • Revolution speed: 2000 U/min
  • Working width: 30 cm
  • Weight: 3,9 kg

If you go to this you'll be taken to a PDF reference guide to see pictures of the actual Disco head performance.

The local ORECK stores in N. Las Vegas have the Orbiter on sale for $100 off thru 9/14.  $299 versus $399.  The Silver Series XL also on sale for $199 solo.  The latter corresponds to a similar offer I received thru 9/23 from ORECK as a valued customer.
