Several names on these including Cadillac, Zenith, Challenger, Pontiac and more from Clements Manufacturing with a switch for on/off & high/low.

Hoover 150--Great vac with unique features.While I do have Hoover attachments sets both older and newer I have never found them for the 150.The Hoover 150 and Electrolux Mo XXX could still clean anything in any home when not part of an Art Deco museum exibit.

"--want to have--"--I have at least half a dozen G series including Sentrias that need to GO and not for $2600 but the $40 would take vac,attachments,shampooer,zip brush,etc.Also have attachments in unique plastic case & more for blue Tradition and possibly one Tradition left.If you are serious...

I looked and the soft bristle carpet brushes would have the plastic center section rubbing the floor. OK for carpet but not hard floors.

"wish to get"--Many types,shapes and colors over the years. Interesting how American vacs seem to quickly move into Canada,England and worldwide as well as vice versa.Wish you were closer.Good luck. Blue Hoover--Not sure yet.I will keep some early Convertibles as I have nice matching attachment...

centralsweeper6--Thanks,but enough is enough.I hope to never change a Kirby fan or Rainbow bearing or see a Dyson or Shark. hoover300--Good that you could make your 3rd(or was it 4th)trip.As Jaws needed a bigger boat you need to come back with a bigger vehicle. "a quarter of it"--Yes,not a...

As some of you already know a serious collector made the easy repeat drive to my shop yesterday and left with a vehicle filled with interesting vintage vacs & parts.My inventory of Bison,HealthMor & Viking upright attachment sets is now ZERO,but there is MUCH more for others.Next I want...

"--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...
