Paul. As I recall you posted information on the date the instruction book for the model LX was published. I believe it was October of 1952. If you have this information, please post it again, and if you have any patent info on the Companion for the LX I'd love to see it. Thanks, Alex Taber.

Great pictures let's talk about restoration. Alex Taber (Caligula was the cat in my avatar.)

Hi myvacsrock. There are squeaks in the tech drive near the right wheel, and a few days ago I broke a fan blade. I live in a part of Arizona where there isn't a vac shop, let alone a Kirby dealer. So, let's talk about this. Contact me at [email protected].

Looking to buy a Kirby G-4. I only need the basic upright, I already have the other parts, attachments, shampooer etc..

Kirby G-4

While the 'Companion,' which is what Electrolux called the ride-on tool holder is shown in the reply above, it is the one for the model XXX. With the introduction of the LX in October of 1952, it was redesigned. Unfortunately, I don't have patent information on it. So, if any of you Electrolux...

The model XX (20.) There are several versions of how Electrolux sold the model XX. The one I'm sharing here was told to me personally by Arnold Vale a branch manager in Hamden, Connecticut in 1968, and backed up in a publication "ELECTROLUX THE FIRST FORTY YEARS 1924-64. This publication was...

Some of these like the Garment air-bag, go back to the mid to late 1930's. What are posted here are the first patents. Keep in mind that after the attack on Pearl Harbor, all companies, not only Electrolux went into 'War production,' and this brought a halt to all vacuum cleaner designs. So...

TonyVacman. Late in 1948 Gustav E. Lofgren, head of the engineering department at Electrolux was looking at several parts that he thought would greatly add to the sales of the model 30/XXX. The Garment air bag Power polisher, ride-on tool holder called the 'Companion, 'and the cord winder, were...

bikerray Oh, not me. Got it, now I know what you mean.

Gottahaveahoove. No, I'm fine, what did I say wrong?

I get paid on the 3rd. If I send you a money order then, could you hold it till I get to Pennsylvania to clear out the storage unit?

Gottahaveahoove. Yes, very interested. You know this is exactly the kind of thing I collect. Pictured in the far upper right, left of the Regina is it's younger brother. Did you get a price? Send me an email. If it's in the budget, then I want it. Still stuck in Arizona, but if all goes well...

Rugsucker. Thanks, I didn't know that.

Just read the ad. No hose. No way!

Vacuum of the Day. Singer upright. I don't see any place for a hose. And as I recall there wasn't one. I could be wrong but check it out. What do you think?

hygiene903. I had the same Singer upright, and it didn't come with a hose or attachments. Wonder if that's the correct hose. I kind of doubt it.

AmtrakSebo1997. What station is that in your avatar? I'm a train buff as well as a vacuum cleaner collector. I love all things Amtrak. Alex Taber. Caligula is the cat in the chair in my avatar.

Hoover Floor washer. I used to have one when I lived in California. I used it regularly and loved it. Wish I had it with me now.
