Did cyclo make polishers for Sears ?

[bald richard]

Back in the early 70s l borrowed a polisher from a friends father... He has now passed,and when my friend was cleaning out his garage came across the old polisher, l rember it,and thought it to be a cyclo. Fast foreword to today, l picked it up and it is labeled Sears. Looks exactly like a cyclo. It's in its original metal carrying box with pads and extra backing plates (still in original box too)! Probably manufactured in 1960s. Really cool to find the first polisher l used still in running condition! If my memory is correct, l used it with Blue Coral wax.

Thanks for the quick reply,
1 l don't know how to post pictures, wish l did, cause l knew some would ask, would be really cool to show everyone.
2. There is no mistaking this polisher. I know Sears rebranded a lot of products, just wanted to verify. I knew the Geeks would know!
3. Any help on how to post pictures would be much appreciated .
Thanks again. Rick

Do replacement parts from Cyclo fit/work on the Craftsman (or Sears) polisher?

I would think if u called cyclo and gave your model number they would know for sure and have what u need. It would not surprise me at all if they were the same parts on all polishers

That's an awesome story! Thanks for sharing.

I did sent them an email two days ago. No answer yet. I figured if they don't have the time or inclination, I would ash here, as the posting regarding the Sears/Craftsman version of the Cyclo was already in existence, and that the orignal poster may have tried to replace some parts on his polisher with Cyclo parts.
