If it is cyklon 300 (it must be pretty old right?)... Is it worth to get it service?

It looks like a nice one. I would use it, 25 years ago it was the latest and greatest. Did you buy it on ebay?

Joe - you certainly have a Cyklon First and Second stage there, but the model number doesn't appear in US / European registers, as far as I can see. It may have been an export designation.
If you can get it checked out by an authorized technician, you will have a great reg set..

I may have been sold as an Thor, the name they had before the Cyclon. Our nick name was the "Hocky Puck" vs. the "Shower Head."

That's a very early model Cyklon 300; the difference can be seen on the "nut" where the hose assembly meets the mouth tube. Old ones are smooth, newer ones are "knurled".
The model number of the 1st stage is located inside the DIN wheel, you'll need to remove the A-clamp adapter to see it. It's in all probability a #2305.
If his local Poseidon distributor can't fix him up with parts kit, give a yell. We have more old stuff here than the Smithsonian.
The #2305 1st stage takes a #3884 kit.
All the 2nd stages still use the same kit, #3551. Even the ones that are +30 years old.
Ain't they great?
