Not being a fan of central vacuums, I would recommend a high end canister. Central vacuums are not all they are cracked up to be. Lugging a 30 foot hose around, getting caught on furniture, like other have stated it seems to have good air flow but the hose length lessons its productivity. I...

I bought that model new when it came out. Traded in my Kirby tradition. Love the machine. Yours will polish up nicely. A new stiff brush roll will improve it performance.

That is a beautiful machine. Looking at the pictures you are missing three things. There should be a metal round dusting brush, a metal upholstery tool and a card board crevice tool. Which I am told was not always sold with the machine as some dealers felt the crevice tool was hard on the...

Done. Great Job!

A cool piece of history but all of those stretch hoses are worthless. The minute the suction or air flow is reduced the machine tips over. This is not just for Hoover but all the modern plastic machines. Just my humble opinion.

I find that Shark vacuums do clean fairly well. And the tools provided are not bad, not good but not as bad as some of the competition. For me, keeping all those filters clean is a chore. If they would make a vacuum with good HEPA bags they would have a decent vacuum. I hear many say they...

Way to cool! How does it run? I wonder what the tools would have looked like.

That looks amazing! Does that use the same tool adaptor as the version sold here in the states?

Is it a Nilfisk?

What a great find! And it even has some bags which are pretty rare. I have only seen one of those machines and I forget which convention I was at. The newer metal tank CA were awesome machines. The late run of them were plastic and I actually like those better. To have a hose like that...

I have used them and find they work well.

My list is pretty short: My Mom had a Kirby 508, which I still use today. It was factory rebuilt in the late 90's and still runs like a top. My grandmother had a Model 66 Airway canister. Her sister, had a Hoover Model 28 and a Hoover Junior. Our neighbors had a Eureka Princess with the...

Those were awesome machines! As teenager I worked as a custodian at the school during the school year for two hours before school started and then full time during the summer. We had those Royal Machines badged as HILD if my memory serves me correctly. Those machines ran flawlessly for years...

Barry, Those should work fine. The Sears brand is expensive, I get them off ebay and I think I it the DVC brand. Seem to be as good. Morgan
