Had something unexpected happen yesterday. Roughly a year ago I contacted Mary Strauss about locating one of Stan Kann's vacuums from his collection, the Hoover 825. I was lucky enough to have met Stan several times and see his collection in his home here in St. Louis. Of the old vacuums, the...

More for sale... Here are more vacs for sale.

Using this thread, I am going to post several vacuums from my collection for sale. The first one I'm listing is a Tom Gasko Airway model. The other pictures I will be posting contain several vacuums that I want to sell from my collection. If you are interested in any of them, please make me...

Thank you... Thank everyone for their interest in the Commemorative Edition Lux. It was sold and shipped to it's new proud owner. Since listing this machine, I have learned that I need an entire new HVAC system in my house, as the one that I have is original to my house and 26 years old...

Hey guys, hard to do this, but as the days go on, my interest in vacuum cleaners becomes less and less. I am going to start liquidating most of my collection in order to pay some bills off and invest in some other hobbies. The first machine up for sale is my beloved Lux Commemorative Edition...

This is terrible.. Fred, How terrible, so sorry to hear about this. The vacuum I purchased from you on Ebay was in very nice condition and was packed immaculately from the UPS store. I would be in contact with Ebay and Paypal and file a case with them. If you sent him a refund, he should...

CORRECTION Peaches, Mistake.. Sebo bags are actually less expensive than Simplicity bags. Sebo bags are 8 per package for $21.99 Simplicity bags are 6 per package for $21.99 Derreck

Moxie or Sebo D4 Peaches, As a dealer for both brands, to me it would be a clear choice, the Sebo D4. The two biggest things for me are "quality of workmanship" and "fit and finish". If you are looking for a vacuum that will last and last for years to come without trouble, the Sebo D4 is...

4650 Motor Tom, My name is Derreck and I actually own a vacuum store in Washington, MO. Not sure which store you took your vacuum to get an estimate, but I don't remember talking to you. I actually just did some research and here is what I found. I went to one of my parts dealer websites...

Hey guys!! So I finally found a machine I've been looking for for a long time today. A Hoover 825. It's in okay shape, but it needs some help. The bag is ripped open and the brushroll is toast! Anyone have any extra parts for these? I'd like to find the original bag (I know that's a long...

Not sure I don't know.. I guess we'll see :) It will be stored in my vacuum room in the basement where it is dark, so that should help.

So being that I am also a vintage Apple computer collector, I had been reading about a process called Retro Brite which reverses the yellowing that occurs on beige and grey plastics from the 1980's. During that time period, they added a chemical called Bromine to the mixture of ABS plastics...

To EurekaPrince.... It is absolutely like new. The hose is not stiff and is 100% sealed!! Hard to believe, but I was pleasantly surprised. The cord still looks and feels new, and the winder works exactly as it should. The vibra beat nozzle is also perfect. Truly like a brand new machine...
