WOW Thrift shops around here don't have anything that pretty! The only thing I have ever found at a thrift store is a Heritage 2 shampooer and zip brush. Congrats on a great find!

G Series I got a G4 about 4 years ago from a roadside market that was a complete basket case. The aluminum is so completely tarnished it has to be sanded. It came with no tools at all. But it ran well and was a machine from my childhood I always wanted. So I rebuilt the motor and replaced the...

Kirby Motor It looks to me like he is using an armature stone to clean the deposits of the armature. Or he is breaking in new carbon brushes. I have never used these special stones so I'm not sure which is which. That and the video was really fast! But I am also curious as to what he is doing...

Hoover Cleaner Amazing what a clean up can do! I really enjoyed seeing the disassembly of this old motor. I've got to get me an old Hoover. Any chance of a video to see the finished product?

Berber I lived in a house with berber and I never used a delicate brush roll. Honestly, I didn't know such a thing existed until I came here. I never noticed any damage caused by it, but I am unsure of the quality of the carpet. However, my Heritage 2 (4 row brush) was a nightmare to push. Most...

Great videos Very cute! My daughter hardly ever lets me vacuum! It's funny because she'll try her hardest to push that Kirby all by herself. She won't allow me to help! For that reason I think I know why she prefers Electrolux!

Hoover Cleaner Awesome videos! That demo was great but I don't know how I would feel about someone dumping sand on my carpet. However, it does make for a good visual. I'll bet they sold a lot of cleaners.

Electro Hygiene That is a wonderful Electro Hygiene collection! I didn't know they made them up into the 70's. When I was a kid, I found this while helping a friend clean out her basement. She gave me this motor unit, but never could find anything else to go with it. She went on to say that...

Convertibles I have to say, Convertibles are very addictive! When I got mine I had never used one before. A new bag and belt and I was amazed! Very good cleaner and very simple to service. Now I need about a hundred more! LOL

Hello There should be screws underneath the base of the cleaner. There were two on my plastic base model Convertible. They are beside the back of the rug plate on ether side. Hope this helps!

Thank you! The top isn't glass, just really shiny wood! The outside is in great shape except for that missing plate that covers the knobs. After a good cleaning, the inside is pretty good too. The selenium in this set are terribly leaky. Nothing a couple of diodes and a drop resistor won't take...

TV I say it would be awesome to have that transmitter! My friend has 3 phase in has garage to run his welders. I asked him one time and he said it wasn't too difficult to get. The power company loves money! Anyway, I do love repairing old tube radios and TV's although my knowledge is limited. I...

Convertible Nice Convertible! I enjoyed the photos very much. And with such a thorough service it has to last forever! Well done!

Drivers Daily drivers for me are always subject to change in rotation. For now it's the Heritage II, G4, Lux Model R, Super J, and the Convertible U4413. Today was the Heritage II's turn, but the Convertible cut in line! LOL

Another pic Thank you tolivac! Here's another shot of the stereo. Love the reverb! And the "tuner eye" tube in the center of the dial ensures that your station is tuned in correctly! The turn table just says Silvertone. I never had to tear into it so i couldn't say. What I do know is that it...
