Small update, it's been well established I have a weak spot for dust collection. [embarassed] So now I have twins 
Yesterday I saw an ad for a used Protool VCP 260 E-L-AC. These are discontinued so they're becoming hard to find and who knows, might become collector items [unsure]
I thought it was a reasonable offering & jumped on it.
After cleaning it up a bit, I noticed the unit was manufactured in 2011 and was used without filter bag for what appears to be paint and/or plaster stripping for a while. But that should be OK since they're autoclean units, right? At first glance it seems to be in relatively good condition, as is the filter. Well as good as you can expect from a vac that's been used for 3 years, I guess.
Next up is to order a brand new filter and systainer adapter plate for it.
The idea is obviously to dedicate my first unit, now with boom arm, to my "shed" and take this more beat up one with me to the jobsite.
Guess I'll see if I spent money on a lemon or not soon enough. Will update on how it turns out in the future.
