    July Update

    That's ok. Let me know when you want me to pay. I have a paypal account, so I can pay for it on paypal. I'll pay once you let me know that it is packed and ready to go. I am glad this is going to a collector who will take good care of it, rather than Goodwill where probably someone would buy it...

    July Update

    Thanks, but no thanks. I want one that is New in Box. I've seen some listed in the past. Those old hand vacuums, you can find those new and unused. But upright vacuums are rare to find new. And if one is NOS, the cost would be in the high hundreds. I once saw a Blue Eureka NOS for $1200 on ebay...

    Thanks. I am sure I will find them. I already found a Wards. I just need to find a Chrome Eureka.

    July Update

    I really do want it. This is exactly what I was looking for. I remember 2 months ago, I asked if anyone was selling a Wards and only one person was, and the bag was not original. This bag is. Most people don't sell Wards vacuums. And those that do price them at high prices and over 100 people...

    July Update

    Randy, I WILL take it. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I can clean this up very well. Everything is original on it. What I've always wanted. I WILL take it. Thank you very much. How much will I have to pay for shipping? What would be the total cost?

    I waited 12 hours once and it still did not let me delete anything.

    Does the handle on Eureka boss come in 2 parts?

    I sold it on ebay. $35 is very expensive to ship. I may ship it through UPS.

    Does the handle on Eureka boss come in 2 parts?

    I also wonder how much shipping will cost if I have to use a huge long box for it. I hope it's not expensive. I've seen vacuums getting shipped for $20. I hope I don't have to pay over $20. I also want the cheapest way ever to ship.

    July Update

    It is July already, and I have not yet replaced anything. But, there have been more changes: 1. I will officially be paying for that Grey Eureka Commercial Vacuum hopefully Monday or Tuesday. I am officially buying it. If anything, I might just replace the motor with the original metal motor...

    Does the handle on Eureka boss come in 2 parts?

    I am planning to ship The Eureka Boss sometime this week. Does the handle come in 2 parts? If not, I hope I don't end up playing $50 for shipping. If it's just 1 part, I might need a very long package.

    Anything wrong with the motor?

    So overall, it sounds fine then. Then, that guy at the vacuum shop has no idea what he is talking about or knows anything about vintage vacuum cleaners. He probably wants to charge me money to fix it. I never realized that. So then, this vacuum sounds really fine then. It picks up so well. Best...

    Anything wrong with the motor?

    This is a video of my Brown Montgomery Wards Vacuum Cleaner made by Hoover. The guy at the vacuum store told me the motor does not sound normal. What do you guys think? Is there something wrong with the motor? The vacuum picks up like a commercial vacuum. I think it works fine in my opinion.

    Do you think there is anything wrong with my Hoover Convertible?

    I have once taken the motor apart. The fan is actually in excellent condition. But I will make a video of it on without the belt. And then you tell me if it sounds ok.

    Do you think there is anything wrong with my Hoover Convertible?

    The metal plate is tight on the machine. Like it does not move around one bit. So then, it is the right one. I will make a video of it on without the belt, and you will hear how it sounds.

    Do you think there is anything wrong with my Hoover Convertible?

    Can you show me a picture of the RIGHT metal plate. If this is the wrong one, I might buy the right one if I do decide to completely restore this machine.

    Do you think there is anything wrong with my Hoover Convertible?

    I have once taken off the belt and turned it on. It is really really loud without the belt. Like I can't even hear my own voice. This is why I no longer trust vintage machines at Goodwill. They always have problems. That is why I now order them off ebay. Even if I have to pay a very expensive...

    Do you think there is anything wrong with my Hoover Convertible?

    I have mentioned that my Hoover Convertible has been having problems: 1. It is overly loud. Is it supposed to sound like this? 2. The spring detached from the bag and it made a huge mess in my room. 3. There is a hole in the pipe where the tape is. Please watch the video and let me know if...

    P A Geier hand vac model 0

    If the body is chrome, then it was made in the 50s. The body looks chrome, so I would say 50s or higher. Though I am not so sure.
