    some people need to learn to do things right

    Nice =) Isn't it amazing that people do these things, then instead of starting over they say screw it then throw it out. But then we wouldn't find these treaures like this if they did take the time to correct thier mistakes. Congrats Mike.

    Compact Burnt out motor

    Could be fact? If the filter was not kept clean, but Im sure a company like that ( high quality) wouldn't put it there if it restricted that much airflow. Plus IIRC the only Compact I seen in my life was not well cared for but the filter wasn't very dirty at all.

    Kenmore!...the word of the 90's.....

    OMG OMG OMG... Thats the one my cousin had, I had the blue 7.5 amp. Loved that vacuum. I did like the hose on the 6.5 better as mine was the stretchy hose and we all know what happens to them when you put Mr. Crevice tool on ;) Congrats it looks great. Kenny

    Windsor upright

    Id wait, you could get a Winsor for less IMHO. Its not a bad price if its in good condition, but I like the Sebo better. And yes the difference is cosmetics and I think the sebo adds a dusting brush IIRC.

    Today's Thrift Store Finds

    Nice finds, that Encore has a black cord so the hose you want is the black one along with the black attachments. The Kenmore bags are rare, I can't remember the last time I've seen them in the store. I think you can still get them at Sears. Com iirc. I may have some attachments at home. I'll...

    Royal 801 question

    Thats a tricky one. I'd be carful washing it as the silk screening may come off. Id try a sponge dampened with Woolite, thats what I usually do with bags that Im not sure will wash well. Im not sure how the Royal bags are as I've never had one (yet lol), but my Hoover bags Ive just vacuumed them...

    Kenmore/Sanyo "Let's Clean" Find

    Nice I think its from the late 70's if the SN indicates the manufactures date its 3/78. But I think early 80's seem more like it. I have never seen this older version in person. Thanks for sharing.

    Kenmore canister help please!! power nozzle doesn't work

    Could be a loose wire in the hose cuff at the machine end, or a bad contact in the handle switch, or yes a break somewhere in the hose =( in wich case you will need a replacment hose.

    OMG Im in love with that Kenmore and the Rager hood Convertible! Dont part with that Kenmore. That looks like one of the first Panasonic style Power mate that has only the belt guard and not the 2 smaller supports/guards. Am I right?
