I took the bag frame off the power nozzle and adjusted it and it's fine now.

Here's a commercial vacuum I got for $10. Works decent, has a lean due to it what I believe is the support arm missing which is causing it to.

Thank you both so much, I finally got her free.

I tried more wd40 and put a flathead screwdriver in there and even got a hammer and lightly tapped it, still no luck.

I have an old Hoover model 450 and I seem to have trouble trying to get these tabs to move. Are these fixed in place or is it just really stuck in there? Im trying to replace the brushroll in it so I can use it. If anybody could help, I would really appreciate it.

My newest acquisition.

So it seems the Amway CMS 1000 actually debuted all the way back in 1985.

This might say it all what Eureka was doing in 2000.

Not a chance Despite my Kirby 510 not being all original except for it's metal parts on it, I only paid $40 for it.

I have two different results for my newly acquired SC886E. It's either 2001 in the serial number or December of 1997 on the clock?

Could be wrong but just a guess that the older handivacs had their serial number on the plastic and the newer ones had them on the tag up by the model number.

I did find this, which could potentially be the serial number.

Patent number I've noticed my 2901 doesn't have a patent number like the 2900 by the model number.

Great little machine I picked up for $15 with spare bags and belts?????? Welp, atleast I have belts for some other vacuum when I need it.

Here's a beauty I picked up for $4. It didn't have any attachments so I used my GE swivel top attachments for it.
