"--refurbishing Kirbys--"--I have MANY in east Tn including Sentrias that need to go one way or another.Also MUCH for Heritage and newer including hoses,attachments,shampooers,etc & MORE.They could go in your truck or the day is coming soon they will be in scrap guys truck or dumpster! Jimmy...

"--rivets?-- The official Electrolux repair for 1205, Super J,etc was to replace rivets with nut, lock washer & screw.

Nothing for Bernina. This area had many Panasonic, very few similar styles.

If anyone wants the first lowboy as described above I found one hiding in a corner of an estate sale garage. It's good and complete but with a brown Kirby hose on original GE ends.Needs a new home.Maybe yours?--Jimmy--423-268-4841.

Never had Bernina but there is much left. When I have time to walk back and forth to the dumpster Kirby accessories and Filter Queen Majestic will be GONE.

Among many quality vacuums sold DTD the Electrolux system was different.All Electrolux branches were company owned and everyone from the home office to the factories to branch managers and salesmen were employees of Electrolux.There was a one price policy for vacuums and supplies that were...

"--look like a car--"Industrial designer George Walker worked on post war Eurekas and first Ford Thunderbird and much more.

Nothing for Hyla.But MUCH vintage to modern.One small example, I just this morning moved some Oreck parts to find a Hoover Mo 150 under them.Should it go to a collector or to the scrap metal guy who was here yesterday and eager to return?!?!After years of asking people to visit I no longer care...

As above I still have MUCH including MANY Kirby accessories.Is Hoover upright or canister?I have very limited time to ship.I am very quickly getting to the point that most will go in dumpster or for those who make the easy drive in their vehicle.Later I hope to find better vacs that I may not...

At one brief time FQ offered a bag attached under the cone that did require an adapter on the inlet.Was NLA before I knew about it.Others may know more.

Filter Queen or Royal?

Attachments--As above some Ebay sellers separate these. With the Mo G hoses would wear(just as tires on a car,etc)and be replaced,the first crevice tool was a bit fragile and were often broken or lost,some use a dusting brush as a scrub brush instead of letting the suction do the work,floor...

There were also banks for Rexair,Filter Queen & Kirby when a quarter was worth more and vac payments were less. Also the slot in the wider Kirby handle of about 1970 and beyond.

Model G--I use 3 in different areas that only needed -change bag, plug in outlet, turn on switch. Yesterday blue rebuilt G cleaned under furniture, cobwebs in corners and much dusting. eBay G looks very good but the one thing not shown was bag chamber. Not likely that this one was abused but if...

Great vac unless you were selling uprights and called it "a stove pipe with a motor in it".
