We bought a Muntz Museums Staubsauger from Deffner and Johann,
Muhlackerstr. 13 97520 Rothlein, Germany 3 years ago. It is rather
handy to work with, however, it gets very hot quickly, which might
be uncomfortable if you work while carrying it over the shoulder.
Also, it is very, very noisy!

While researching the topic, I found the "Conservac" Conservation
Vacuum Cleaner (CV 555MU E HEPA), sold by Conservation by Design
Ltd., UK, which appears to be the same, or at least nearly identical
machine.
