Along the same lines. I heard another boy was riding on top of a Eureka canister with the lid open and sustained injury because his "parts" were pulled in by the fan.

Didn't Kirby add those to the Omega attachment kits because some kid damaged his eye?

If your brush roll has ball bearings (which most 1990+ do), then you are fine with a Kirby belt :)

Last night I was working on one of my Eureka 1400 series "blender motor" uprights and ended up damaging the carbon brushes while trying to get the armature back in. Yes, I did originally partially remove the brushes while tapping the armature back in. The second time the armature slipped loose...

@n0oxy yep! Agreed.

Les, yes but I’m afraid I’ll bend the armature fan. Trying to get the main fan off. I thought of trying something similar to the first suggestion.

This was working for about 10 minutes last Sunday. I smelled a faint electrical smell then a pop came from the switch area. I looked at it last night. I figured it was the switch so I bypassed it. Still nothing. I’m thinking it is the carbon brushes. The problem is that they are stuck on both...

I don't think central vacs are on the leftist radar. While we like them it's not an essential part of life. Like a gas stove. Personally, I think there is a deeper reason for banning anything but electric. Electric can be turned off easier than gas, if we don't comply. Yes, that is a theory...

I wouldn’t blame anyone for downsizing or who the individual wants to sell/give away too. Personally, I think its a great decision to downsize. I’m trying to do something similar myself with my modern vacs I don’t care that much about. After all it’s just vacuum cleaners.

Vacuumdevil, The VCCC hosts conventions based on its members locations For example, last year. We went to Scranton because John volunteered to host us. This year Sean is hosting in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

I was cleaning up some items that I purchased from another collector’s estate recently. Among them were several Electrolux power nozzles. Mostly the L shaped ones and a few vintage ones. I’ve never seen a PN 1 with this bearing setup before. It must be an earlier version. It runs so quietly I...

Chad and I did our usual estate sales this weekend and happened to come across this Kirby 1cr. This Kirby was interesting because it had an attachment box with it believed to be from a 505. The owner had also written very meticulous notes to herself and mentions a 1st Kirby quite often. A dual...

Yes, my grandparent's had the first-generation VanGuard (see video below) without the Rugulator. I remember the original bag was replaced a short time before this video.

I’m not sure when this one came out. Late 70s? But it has the VG I hex ends. I still don’t think originally the VG II had square ends. I could be wrong. My vacuum room looks tragic. I know.

I don't think the Heritage II had the same handle pattern label as the Heritage I or 84 Les. Correct me if I'm wrong. Look closer at the picture that Kirby posted (the handle). I'm fairly certain it's a Heritage one.
