    Opinions on Kenmore Whispertone Upright

    I liked those, they are hard to find here as well, I dk why though. They came in white. black, blue, teal, red, and i think hunter green. most had the same features 4 hight settings brush roll shut off etc.. the early versions had  9, 10, 11 amp options then eventually 12 amps. I belive the 9...

    some of my upcomming vintage projects

    Id like the GE and Hoover, but the kirby's aer harder to polish and such IMHO so Id get the harder ones done first. Thats me though, save the best for last ;)

    Early Shop Vac

    Plastic Shop-vacs started comming out in the late 80's, IIRC most of the first plastic ones were the larger 8 + gallon. The metal ones were for wet pick up also but most rotted away. My 1st one was white/blue metal ( I think Fred S. has a pic with his). My aunt and cousin also had one and all 3...

    What's in Dave's trunk this week?

    Whooo Hoooo.... Davy's off and running, Looks like a nice start. The Singer base closest to the door looks to be in nice shape. The blue/green Eureka is the one I had as a kid, it was left in the basement of my parents first house they bought. The floor tool was a grey metal, the suction wasnt...

    Kenmore Progressive Beltless Upright

    Those are cool. Ive always wanted a bagged one. I was never to keen on Kenmore's bagless system, although ive never tried it myself (except in the store of corurse). A friend had the cord reel bagless and i recall it being messy to clean.

    Dumpster Royal Canister

    That is an awsome find, I have the burgandy one and its not nearly as nice and I paind 80 bucks lol. The suction is  phenomenal and it doesnt loose much of it as the bag fills. I do like the blue one better. Funny the same attachments were missing on mine too. Kenny

    **Estate Sale Find** Regina Powerteam Electrikbroom

    Very nice find, I've always wanted one also. Infact a few weeks ago I was at an indoor flea market and there was one behind acounter, the woman wouldnt sell it to me, she said she uses it to vaccum her booth =( Good luck with it. I recall they were quite rattly even when newer.

    No more smart vac at Wal-mart!?

    A woman I worked with had the bagless pet version and I went over to shampoo her carpets, she had packed the filter and it still had ok suction. She said she didn't know it had a filter. I cleaned it out and re vacuumed, she was shocked at how much was still left in her carpet. As far as the...

    A void filled (lux)

    Nice find, I like the Epic. I don't like the ones with the on board hose. I like the fact that you have the sidekick option. I think Lux was first to offer a mini PN for an upright.
