So, I decided not to repaint and be patient. I will save (not hide) the Compact badge for another day. I am sure I will find one like on a junked parts vacuum. I will, however, refresh the burgundy paint job after a thorough cleaning. All is well.

Okay, so, ...... What I received was a beautiful condition Compact Electra badge. I wonder if I should: Repaint it turquoise or be patient till I find the TriStar IEC badge. I would love to take apart the vacuum, but I noticed there are lots of pins holding everything in place. I would...

I received one as a gift from a friend. They mentioned to me or I read it on here somewhere, that there is a bag seal I need to check/recondition/replace? Anyone know about this?

Thanks, looks like it needs to be in a tube. I don't use it enough to buy a can. Bikerray, I miss your posts about your Thrift Finds.

Thank you Mike, I will order some. I have seen stuff in parts that look like contact cement, but I was sure that was not it.

Expert restorers. What brand/type of adhesive have you used successfully to glue things like hose cuffs to hoses, gluing metal hose ends into electrical hoses. Years ago, a friend and employee of a vacuum shop, showed me a metal can of adhesive they use. She said, "use this and it isn't going...

No, that won't work - painting In addition to showing the brand, the emblem plugs 3 holes drilled into the side of the body. And the holes are there to mount the emblem.

On Ebay right now. Tom, is this real? A Simplicity on a Panasonic/Kenmore looking canister??? If the URL doesn't work, Simplicity Summit...

Welllll, Shucks! Due to an apparent misunderstanding, I received the newer gel badge instead of the chromed plastic badge. Back to square one. If anyone has or knows of a source, please contact me. Thank you.

"Guilty"' well, not a much as any other member. In fact, I barely contribute. Let me say I am astonished the tags survived. The same thing happened when I found a Sunbeam Challenger at Goodwill. Tag and sticker intact. Yours looks like it is in great condition. Lastly, I love the color...

Greetings! I come to you to ask if you know of a vacuum shop or member who may be able to help me find an Electric Vacuum Hose for a Ghibli Vortech Force. If you are able to help, please contact me at: [email protected]. Thank you. Garry

The Hunt,,, so far, I have not found the missing badge. One good thing is I am cleaning up in the process. I was surprised how much stuff was under the work bench. I need to put up some kind of barrier to prevent things from bouncing/flying under the bench. I will continue to look. Today, I...

Thanks, For your tips.

Does anyone have any tips on changing a Eureka made Power Nozzle belt? The belts are so stiff and hard to stretch to install. I am concerned that maybe the Eureka belts I have or too old. Should they be that tight once installed? Would them being so tight wear down the brush roll bearings? I...

Well, well, well..... This buyer used a box smaller than the vacuum but did cram it full of newspaper. I did not notice that there was only one hose listed. I did notice there was a PN and wands. Had I looked more closely, I would have noticed there was one, non-electric hose. Hope I can...

Hi Antoine, would you please email me.

Hi all, I need your help. I am about done with my burgundy body TriStar canister, but I need a replacement side badge. I believe it read: TriStar - IEC. It was chromed plastic that pressed into the side. Please contact me. Thank you. Garry

OMG! Where are you guys getting these images...do you own these machines?

YES! That's it! She really wants one. Who knows. As for that Eureka, mmmm.

Reminds me of..... Sebo made an upright that was clear plastic. Maybe just the bag door or the whole thing. I think it was made for dealers to demonstrate its inner workings. I have a friend who always wanted one. I think she said they may very few of them and as I said, were targeted for...
