Yup, that's a US spec Shag tool. I've been looking all over for one.

I want to see a few pictures of the shag tool! :)

I've got a Diamond Jubilee with PN5, a Hoover Tempo, a single rug that needs to be vacuumed. I'm tired of keeping the Tempo around for one lousy rug, but the PN5 is pretty awful at removing cat hair. If I was to replace the PN5 with a different PN series, what would likely be my best choice?

> Metropolitan also makes small version for cars Hm, I wonder if the 12-volt version is worth what it costs. Probably not, but I really want a worthwhile vacuum for my car - living in an apartment makes finding a free 110V outlet outdoors quite difficult...

My grandmother had a cache of 50 Electrolux-branded bags for her Diamond J (half yellow-top, half grey). It's going to be a looooooong time before I run out.

Seems like a good idea, if it's cheap, seeing as all it does is hook into your central vac system.

I got a pile of 50 genuine Electrolux bags with my Diamond J, so yes, paper for me (not that one has a choice on those machines). :)

> I don't mean to cast aspersions on all Canadians, just several hundred that are on my enemies list) Several HUNDRED? O_o

Is that still the turbo-powered Sidekick II, or is it back to being electric?

Best of luck selling that! I saw it in a black friday flyer, brand new, for $19.99. May as well save yourself the trouble and toss it.

Yeah, Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) might be an interesting option. See if you can track down a local, trusted, independent guy (ask your local used car dealer or check yelp) and see if he's up for a challenge.

A bunch of enterprising C=64 hackers (C64s turn brown with age) managed to figure out that a mix of Hydrogen Peroxide and OxiClean is amazing at de-yellowing ABS plastic. See http://retr0bright.wikispaces.com/ for more info! http://retr0bright.wikispaces.com/

I think I've sunk about $70 into my Lux Diamond J, but all I've really bought is a Sidekick and a new hose.

Item condition: New More than 10 available Selling all would net him over $888.00! So he's expecting to really "clean up" so to speak XD

Can someone possibly do a lineup of all the Lux PNs? I know what 1, 4, and 5 look like, but I'm fuzzy on 2, 3 and 6.
