My mom and dad put this in a scrap book years ago I am thinking because I took many items apart and most of the time get things put back together and still be in working condition. I would have been about 4 1/2 years old at the date of this comic strip. I am tossing it out things and found it...

eBay Green Byson interesting - only about 3 hours left Vintage Bison Vacuum in Box with additional accessories box - Museum Quality! It is saying? eBay item number:284822834819 I have no interest in it and I don't know who owns it. Sold mine many years ago. I have not linked this. On eBay...

Hoover Model 300 27 28 and others Straight Brush with rubber tip towards belt groove of agitator and one screw towards end cap: Long Brush #82344 & Short Brush #82345. They were used in a number of 40s vacuums. Somewhat easily identified visually. I no longer have any, sorry.

Found by accident I have nothing to do with this T-shirt and found it while I was looking for a totally different type of item. For those inquiring minds, you can find it on Etsy and just do a search for: Fishman Vacuum Tank

So this is weird, odd, strange or unusual While I would say the Model G is my favorite Electolux, just how many people want a tank top T-shirt with the Model G on it? Would the general public know what it was? I guess one could say the same about my car. I hope I hope I have not insulted anyone...

Not Good Yes, that switch is toast. I am sure you will find one from a member. You might have to settle on one from the Hoover 150. Good Luck

Another question myvacsrock is the casing of the switch broken or do you feel the internal parts broken? Hoover only used the switch on one model but Regina seems to have used it on a number of models. Good Luck

I have a question myvacsrock Is the Crusader a 2-speed vacuum with a red or black switch lever? I had a Regina Model 50 and the switch was the same as found on the Hoover One Fifty however its lever was black, my Regina had the red. I sold the switch for use on the One Fifty a few years back...

Thanks Les Thank you Les, but I don't use any of them and they are kept in large plastic trash bags in my workshop area under the garage so no need to convert the bags. I do appreciate your thoughts.

These are the only Royals I own. The M1038Z I bought last week looks near new and seems to be in great condition with just a few minor scratches. I had wanted a newer Royal and the orange monster was the right price and condition and yes it is the Chinese model but that is okay. My understanding...

Krantz Sweeper Made Expressly for L. W. & S. hoover300 and huskyvacs and others that might be interested eBay item number:313651047655 - Seattle, Washington Goodwill - Time left: 4d 08h, Ends Wednesday, 8:01PM Not bad but instructions on bottom is torn.

I do not know is this might be of any use to you vacuumman? I have no idea of why I remembered where this brushroll was. It is 11-3/4", this just the round aluminum and 12-3/8" from end to end where I believe the bearing caps would go that are missing. Check all pictures closely and you might...

Singer R1 Bag with Patent Numbers on it For all the Singer folks, I have a really ugly original Singer R1 bag and it has Patent Numbers on it on the back side down by the bag ring. I find it interesting and odd that there would be patent numbers on it. The bag has paint marks and stains on it...

Curious Just wondering if you still have the vacuum I had called about last year or if it is now gone? I would guess you would remember my calls. Peter

Good to know That is a good looking bag Marty. Seems to be labor a intensive project. One would think anyone using a late 30s and early 40s Hoover with the large round bag ring as their primary vacuum would want one.
