I found this old Santo vacuum while scrolling on eBay. I find it interesting because of how little people seem to know about it and also the fact that this one looks to be very incomplete. Does anyone have a one of these in their collection because if so I would love to see a picture. I'm also...

What about people that have a Kirby C? My kirby model C needs new bearings and a new brushroll, but when I get it working, what type of belt should I use in it?

I wouldn't know what happened to it... But do you remember the URL? I've never even heard of the site, so I am kind of curious to look it up on the Wayback Machine.

For me I collect toy garbage trucks, like the First Gear scale models. I don't know why, but I was fascinated with garbage trucks ever since I was little.

My Electrolux XXX I used it to clean the stairs and a bit of the basement living room. Even with the original cloth hose, it still has some pretty solid cleaning performance!

Very Nice Work! I was wondering if you could tell me how you took the fan off of the machine. I am trying to disassemble the motor from my Kirby model C but I don't want to ruin it. Mine also needs new bearings and I was wondering if you could tell me what type it uses.

I am finally out of school for Christmas break and so I have been hoping to knock out a few vacuum repairs that I have been putting off for a long time. Below I have made a list of the parts I need and let me know if you have any of them as I would be willing to buy them for a good price. Royal...

My favorite vacuum is My Kirby model C. I picked it up recently for only $35 and when I got the machine, it was an utter mess. The whole thing was covered in some sort of brown dust, the brushroll was covered in hair, and the bag is filled with dog hair. The good thing about the machine is...

Stunning! They don't even look like the same machines anymore!

Great! That was the model I have always been hoping to own someday!

Stunning! I am interested in buying this vacuum and have always wanted one. However, I cannot buy it right now, but I probably will be able to within the next couple weeks.

Royal 501 Do you have bags for the Royal 501 hand vac?

I'm also looking for a suitable belt for mine When I got my Kenmore De Luxe, it came with a Hoover flat belt on it. However, it was slightly too wide and it left a small burn mark on the bottom cover.

Cool! Very cool! Thanks for uploading that picture of the Sears Catalog vacuum page. It really helps me a lot because now I have an idea of when my Kenmore Deluxe was made. The unusual thing is, my Kenmore Deluxe doesn't have a model number listed anywhere on the vacuum, it only has a serial...

This is certainly an occasion to celebrate! I think I still have a slice of cake in my fridge somewhere. Anyways, it must be really cool to be related to the inventor of the vacuum and collect vacuums at the same time! Happy birthday Hoover!
