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

What's the serial number?
 
Thanx for bringing this up.

For the longest time I've thought, "Where have I seen the Cyclo in the past?" Now I know!

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
 
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.
 
Just for anybody who has an interest, I did talk to Cyclo Toolmakers. They said that the Craftsman/Sears 215.25960 IS a Model 5. Being a Model 5, ALL of the early Model 5 parts are usable on this polisher, up to and including the VES system. There is a later Model 5 variant, which is why they specified that the early Model 5 parts will interchange.
