Old ironing board Smow....I believe I have the same one and I don't use it as I don't have any interest in it for some reason. It's for sale. Let me know if you are interested in. Just not sure how easy it will be to ship unless you have some ideas. Shoot me an email.

Hello Guys! I have two old GE irons from the 50's that I don't want. One is a dry iron only and the other is a steam iron with the side water bottle that attaches on the right. Both have cloth-covered cords and do heat up. I have not tested the steam iron to see if it in fact it does produce...

I hear all of you guys loud and clear! I, too, need to stop collecting. I do realize that I am more or less "rescuing" them as well as collecting them. I simply absolutely cannot resist a machine and more often than not feel like I am "saving" its life-as though its a person. I also know I am...

Spot-On! You are spot-on about this machine! Yes, the dirt sensor is not all that sensitive and I had wondered if it really does work. But your claim is accurate! The machine overall is not so much heavy to me as it is bulky. It's cumbersome to use. I can't seem to get out of it's way when I am...

That's exactly what mine did! Hey Cole! That's exactly what happened to mine!!! But from the looks of if it it doesn't appear to be easy to get at. I put a few marks into the plastic trying to open things up, and yet I didn't succeed at gaining access. Looks like poor engineering to me! What...

Hey Guys! I need to part with a few particularly this beauty. Runs perfectly. This machine retailed for $469.00 or more when it was new. It is missing the powered hand tool storage compartment door; however it doesn't affect performance. Features include: cord winder, variable speed control...

Royal oil OK ...here is the real deal on the Royal oil... Use only SAE 30 NON-DETERGENT Oil. Add only 2 drops...AND DO NOT TURN THE MACHINE ON FOR A FEW HOURS until the wick--yes there is a wick of sort inside the machine bearing that needs time to absorb the oil. If you don't wait, the oil...

Blue Magic Polishing Cream Blue Magic Polishing Cream is, I would say, a notch above Mothers Mag Aluminum Polish, Flitz, AutoSol, and TopBrite. And, it claims to leave a silicone coating behind to help prevent tarnishing. And, it's more cost effective since a 7 oz. tub of it costs about 8.99...

Looking for a Filter Queen Model 95X Majestic electric hose, wand, and power nozzle in good shape and in operating condition. Does anyone have one for sale?

Hey Guys! Has anyone ever used or heard of Blue Magic Metal Cream Polish? I discovered it one day while searching online for a really good true and tried aluminum polish. I was interested in this for a particular machine--you all should know which one(s) I am thinking of. Truthfully, it does...

Royal 611 Ben, Believe it or not I think that the model 611 was a non-repairable motor for the most part. In other words, the sleeve bearing were designed for longer-life but once they were worn, replacing the bearing was a very remote option. I had been told that many Royal motors are very...

Speaking of...Mieles Does anyone have any spare/extra attachments for a Flamenco II or an S280i series canister? I am particularly looking for the retractable wand plastic parking bracket that pulls out from the wand.

It could be as simple as the motor brushes. Check them first. Or it could possibly be the speed switch controller in the front of the machine.

And the other saying is.... Use it or lose it! This is so true. I have had motors seize slightly because of non-use, and I have had machines discolor regardless of non-use. Parts will become brittle over time, cloth bags will fray and will dry rot over time even if they were stored near...

I agree with Tom..! Use and enjoy your machines! I say the same thing---when I am gone my machines are going to end up in the dumpster because my nieces and nephews are not going to want anything to do with them. And, yea, go ahead and put them on ebay brand new and in the box....you may get a...

Owning a sewing machine...and our fascination with them It was necessary to own a sewing machine in days gone past because it was customary for a housewife to make clothes for herself and the children as it was more cost effective. Store bought clothing was generally considered a luxury. Men on...

Also, does anyone have one to spare in their parts bin? Hey Guys! I need a small but necessary part to my Hoover model 4019 lower handle. It's the lower handle retainer plate-the plate that goes before the large screw to stabilize and secure the handle in place. Not the silver handle bail...

Does anyone have a newly discovered method for repairing Hoover outer bag snaps that either were pulled out of their "socket" or ripped to the edge? Here are my thoughts so far: I thought about sewing a strip of vinyl on the inside of the bag edges and then reattaching new snaps with a snap...

What did you use to polish it? Mother's, Flitz? Autosol?
