You will find that... Amazon sell fairly cheap belts suited for that machine. Nate94

@pinkge Yes, it runs really well. I found that to be no surprise for me given how well-made machines were back then.

Hello Vacuumland, today I've bought an Electrolux model Ze62 fromGumtree for $60, which I thought was reasonable. I believe it's from between 1957 and 1959. Can anybody help me date this? One major thing I need help on is the hose, it's taped up near the handle grip, but apart from that it's...

Hi guys, I have just published a website dedicated to my hobby. This was created using Weebly, and I had spent around 6 months constructing this website. This site shows info on most of the vacs I have collected as well as my backgroud story on why I collect and a way to contact me. Enjoy...

Today I have a National MC-622 from the 1980s. I believe this was the budget vacuum cleaner of the time with the MC-663 being the TOL. I also understand that Hoover sold their Dial-a-Matic/Convertible/Dynamatic design to National (now Panasonic), and modified the original DAM design for their...

Here's some more Pictures of when I continued.

Cleaning and servicing- Pt 1 Some photos of when I started on Tuesday and continued today.

I've got a Hoover Concept One U4001-006 from around 1978 or 1979 that I picked up last Saturday off Gumtree.

I've bought it!! Personally, it was worth it accumulating this vacuum. It's well-made, does an excellent job on carpets and I'll probably never find one of these again.

Today I have a Turbopower 3 model U2880-006 I bought off Gumtree dating from 1997, with the user manual, a spare filter and belt. I understand the Turbopower 3 was first released in 1994 as the TOL model with a powerful 1000W motor, and a longer hose that could reach a full flight of stairs...

Hi, I am just wandering if a Hoover Turbopower 3 is a collectable vacuum cleaner even though not that old? Thanks

Hi Vacuumland, I have received a Hoover Dustette Model 100 today that I won off Ebay last week. I got the highest bid of $51.00, which I thought was a reasonable price considering it's the rare version, in the box with the instruction manual. It looked like it had barely been used and...

By the way, here's my Junior 1346A, which was released as the Lark in Australia, with the set of cleaning tools. This model is from 1974.

@vintagerepairer I think most people back then had a Dustette to supplement the cleaning tools, which I do believe we're optional, as the suction was much greater on the Dustette and the tools could be attached much easier. I hope this is relevant to the question. Nathan

My favourite Convertible This is already my favourite, my 1974 Convertible U4008 I recently purchased on Ebay.
