Great Looking Small Appliances Did Hoover actually manufacture any of those or were they sourced from other OEM's? The mixer looks like an Oster (Sunbeam), Can Opener looks like a Rival my folks had when I was a kid, and the Percolator is similar to one offered by Sears. Wish you could get...

Here are photos... of my B-9 Floor Beautifer

Just used the B-9 on Tuesday I used that exact B-9 Floor Beautifer to shampoo the upstairs carpet on Tuesday evening. It did a great job as always. Guess it will be the last run as we're selling our house and moving to one with only LVT throughout.

Did all Corning percolators require a unique size cord? My mom used one when I was a kid which she received for a wedding gift in 1965. The cord on that one seemed pretty standard like other brand percolators, corn poppers, etc. My grandmother had one from the mid-1970's (Spice O'Life)--solid...

Rocker Switch Successfully Replaced Thanks for the information and guidance. I successfully replaced the rocker switch tonight. Happy New Year to all!!

I think I have a broken component Picture number 1 shows all the components after disassembly. Picture number 2 shows the clear plastic arm/lever which appears to have broken. Is just this component available or do I have to purchase a replacement switch assembly?

I'm clearing some items out of the basement and came across a made to fit hose for an Airway vacuum. I remember the model 77 sitting in the corner of the garage and I think this hose was used on it. Genuine Airway machine end connected to a "fit-all" vinyl hose with an Eureka tool/wand end...

I have an Electrolux LE (Marquise era) and the switch is broken. It has been abandoned for years in a basement as it wouldn't turn off and I finally took it apart and discovered the switch cover which you push is fine, but there is some type of lever or rocker that has broken. Can I order...

I don't know if these are still available, but the upper cord on a 1205-era PN1 had a replacement two prong plug on the pigtail end.

I just opened a 1205 era PN-1 and discovered that it had a 3 row brush roll. Was this typical or perhaps a replacement? I thought the PN-1 brush rolls were two row. The power nozzle itself had seen better days... the top housing was really banged up and the plastic on the upper wand housing...

I recently saw a posting on FB Marketplace for a Self-Propelled vacuum--A Riccar 8900 which don't think is correct. Did Riccar make a self-propelled vacuum?

Here's a memory that brings a question to mind every now and then. I've seen pictures of Sunbeam, Dormeyer and Hamilton Beach versions of their hand mixers on stands in the 1950/1960's but did GE ever sell such a model? I have this memory of being at the home of a lady from our church when I...

Thanks...working now Thanks for the suggestion. Lubricating the switch worked. I appreciate your help.

We have an MD Central Vacuum direct connect hose that will only turn on the power nozzle but not the suction (main vacuum unit) when toggled to the number two position that is supposed to run both. When toggled to the number one position (vacuum only) it works just fine. Is this likely a...

Just curious, does Aerus manufacture any of the machines it sells or has it outsourced all of those operations? I recall years ago reading that one of the Eureka plants was assembling Aerus (Electrolux) vacuum cleaners but am not sure what the company is doing now. I see one of the current...
