Another PYE made by Hitachi

PYE Vacuums Hi Adam I've attached a couple of pics on aussie PYE's. The first being the rotovac and in the second pic is a 1968 model once again with a striking resemblance to the Eureka but the Princess (I think) farthest away. You'll all recognise the closest vac in the second pic as an...

At a guess later 1970's Hi Adam From what I know about PYE. The entered the vacuum cleaner market in Australia only in the late 1950's with the Rotovac. Australian made with a huge eureka rotomatic flavour. As we skidded into the 70's PYE put out many cleaners, far too many to list with all of...

Thanks Bill Just waiting to receive it in the mail, we're the same voltage so should work, will let you know how well it works. Cheers Mike

The jetflo uprights were incredibly popular in OZ in the 80's. Not a cheap upright back then at $190.00 but gave Hitachi CV50 and Volta 500 series a decent run for their money, all sold for the same price give or take a few $$$ Mike

Hi All Today i've bought a New Old Stock 1980's Russian Vacuum. I don't know anything about the Russian ones but if anyone can translate the rating plate for me it would be much appreciated. Hope you like the pics. Cheers Mike

Hi Al Many thanks for the info. Here's a photo of the rating plate underneath, it's definately UK. Cheers Mike

Hi Guys This weeks latest purchase heading to NZ from the UK. I don't know much about this cleaner so any info greatly appreciated. Cheers Mike

Mission accomplished - modified maytag hose Hi guys Mission accomplished, the perfect maytag Connie hose A black with silver reinforcing thread vinyl and wire hose with comfortable pistol grip handle. Hose is Flexi and long enough to stop Connie rear ending the user or banging sideways as...

Hi guys It does highlight the different likes / dislikes of machines and how difficult it is for engineers to try and create the perfect machine, perhaps they should interact on vacuumland first. I gave the new constellation a good going over today, found the hose a gross let down and almost...

Just tried the connie out for the first time and mostly i like it. If i had to use it daily or at the least weekly it would probably drive me nuts with the short hose and the banging in to the back of yr legs. Mine hasn't got the high pitched wine as john mentions, reasonably quiet and smooth...

Is it a Maytag Satellite or Constellation Hi Guys Just received my new Maytag by courier today after an anxious 14 day wait. It arrived well packaged and double boxed although i can tell customs have had a good look over and the bag in the machine was removed as well as the filter and grill...

hi Doug They are the correct parts for this goblin apart from the hoover upholstery nozzle. It's an earlier model, note the chrome handle and pipes and the carpet tool, in 1967 they changed to brushed aluminium with the usual goblin plastic floor head (the same you had in the 600/700 series...

Hi Guys Last week I bought a New in box Maytag Satellite off Ebay UK. Cant wait till it makes it's trip over the ditch. I've looked at a few of the reviews on you tube including one sales demo and it seems to float far better than the older connies, i take it thanks to the 2000w motor. Can...

Hi guys A 1960's Goblin Ace. An extemely popular machine here that had quite a long run from late 50's through to 1972. One of the most powerful vacuum cleaner on the market with a 520 watt motor. After it's discontinuation in 1972 Hoover picked up the design and ran with it in 1977 till 1981...

Hi all, Thought I'd broaden my search to the USA for a fabulous upright vacuum as I very much like the look of the 60's / 70's Eurekas. The vacuum will be a working one at our weekend house and being 240v in NZ i will need a transformer. I've looked on Amazon which has confused me with such a...

Thanks Eurekaprince For the first time in 50 years, Hitachi has discontinued vacuum cleaners in Australia and NZ as of mid last year. I just assumed this was a global strategy to vacate homewares like GE did in the late 80's here. I may be wrong but the lineup of hitachi's in yr last link look...

Thanks for the AD moojuiceuk This little imported number was the 2nd most expensive cleaner on the market in NZ. In 1982 the Nilfisk / Tellus canister was by far the dearest at $290.00 followed by this Hitachi then the Electrolux cylinder then right down the line as the cheapest was the...

What a great collection and all appear in stunning condition. Mike
