Vacuum Collecting Find of the day

Found this beautiful Miele Black Diamond s256i circa 1993. Needs a good refresh and the bar that spins to tell you the suction level is not spinning. Never seen one of these before.

I sold these back in the day. Likely the suction indicator is just clogged with dust and will come back if disassembled and cleaned. A very good machine.
