PENNEY'S HOOVER CANISTER INFO Hi Paul. Thank you very much for your reply to my query. I'd say the model pictured in the catalog is the one I've got. It's newer than I guesstimated - 1969. I didn't get the attachments, but have some that will serve. Thanks again for your help. Michael

Hello. Does anyone have any information about Hoover products made for Penney's stores? I just bought a mint canister that is clearly a Hoover Constellation, but with the Penney's name and emblems. It's white on top with a yellow/beige lower color. It has the handle style of the very early...

GE Vacuum Model V11C11 Hi Paul Thank you once again for taking the time to answer my question. I really appreciate the time you took for it. My canisters with the 'P' are all labeled General Electric, not Premier. My little V11C11 is an interesting model; it's small like a lowboy, but has...

Hello. Does anyone have any info on GE canister model dates? I have several that I don't have any dates for. I'd like to know when they were made. V11C11 P1C13 P1C15 P1C18 Thanks. Michael

EUREKA ASSISTANCE, PLEASE Hi Paul, Thank you for your reply. I appreciate the information, including the info on my Eureka. You've been really good about answering my queries and giving assistance and I appreciate it and value your expertise. Michael Thomas

Hi folks. I bought a basic Eureka upright, model 2013A from ebay and it arrived without a bottom plate. It was made in 1973 (per the number stamped on the bottom) and uses levers to hold it in place, like a Hoover Convertible. It doesn't have the tabs on the front of the base to clip the...

PART # FOR HOOVER 700 BOTTOM PLATE Thank you both for your replies. I appreciate it. Michael T

Hello folks. I'm thinking of buying a Hoover Heavy Duty Model 700. It's in good condition, but the plastic bottom plate is broken. Does anyone know what model # the part is? I've seen a few on ebay, but more than 1 model #. Thanks. Michael T

Electrolux Motor Changes Hi Paul. Thank you for this info. I appreciate getting it. Michael T

Hi. I have an Electrolux Epic 6000 and 2 Epic 6500s. I notice the sound of the 6000 is different than the other 2. Did Electrolux change/update the motor used in the 6500s? If so, are they Electrolux motors? The 6500s are not as quiet as the 6000. I'm just curious. Thanks. Michael T

Hello. I found a cloth outer bag on ebay that has a part # of 48951. Clearly it's NOS, and I'm wondering what Hoover upright it would fit. You can't see the bag clearly; it's in an opaque plastic bag. Thanks. Michael Thomas

Electrolux Epic 6500 SR Motors Kirbylux77: Thank you for the information. I bought the Epic and received it today. I noted how quiet it is and thought it was an Electrolux motor (Aerus motors are noisy), but wasn't sure. Michael T

Hello. I'm wondering what motors were used in the Electrolux Epic 6500 SRs. Were they Electrolux motors, or outsourced? I'm interested in a 6500 from 1997-1999, C102G, that I saw on ebay. I've read that Electrolux stopped making and using their own motors at some point, but don't know when...

Electrolux Ambassador III Motor Hi Gabowenjr. Thank you for your reply. The shroud may be the reason for the resonance/deep hum I'm hearing when using the III. It is really annoying to me and I may have to move the machine along to someone who doesn't mind the sound. Thanks for the...

Hi. I have a question for you Electrolux experts out there. Did Electrolux start using a different motor for their Ambassador III machines? I have several plastic Electroluxes and they all sound the same, but the 2 Ambassador III machines I've had had a different sound to them. I hear a tone...
