Welcome. Welcome to Vacuumland. I also like Kirby and Hoover vacuums very much.

wow... wered you find those... I have looked for many hoovers in the last 3 years. I have not even seen those at estate sales or any other place! great finds.

I Want a HooverMobile... Wow, that looks like it'd be fun to drive. To bad I'm not old enough to have a license. If I ever find one it will be my first car and last car.

Picked up this little Hoover Dustette, inspected it and ran it. The motors fan blade is rubbing up against the housing and making a terrible noise. This motor seems loose in the housing. I need to know how I can stabilize the motor. Looks like the corks that held the motor are worn. Tryed...

Wow I Wish I Had 1 Beautiful machine. It would clean up great if it were polished and rebuilt.

Well This is my Best Answer. Well, about the rivets. If you drill out the rivets you will need a pop rivet gun. You can usually pick those up at garage sales for a few bucks. I think your motor pooped because it looks like it hasn't been serviced or cleaned since I don't know when, but a long...

Id Sell it, No Use For Me... BEAUTIFUL Hoover collection up there. Id sell you the plug. just make an offer.

That Liquid Wrench Penetrent Rots and Eats the Rubber... The problem was created when you used oil near rubber. When oil comes in contact with rubber it eats it away and weakens it. I suggest next time, fully disassemble the area frozen and knock the parts free with a hammer, and sparingly...

Well I Dont Have a Dog or Cat, But Rabbits? I have a pet rabbit, his reactions to the sound, or even sight of a vacuum is, scratch, bite, kick, and run. I have never seen pets that like vacuums. I thought it was only a human thing to like vacs.

Well, during the process of rebuilding my machine, I encountered a new issue... I removed the spring on handle, to oil the mechanism and spring... Spring doesn't want to go back in... An tips? Any helps useful.

Interesting You should really try looking at local garage and estate sales for the machines. your paying some steep prices.

I Thought There was Only the Henry... I never knew there was like a whole family of numatic cleaners... thought it was just Henry.

Radio Troubles... I am never touching another radio in my lifetime. I worked on a RCA V - 209 console set, and I turned the tuning knob and the string snapped... I still haven't got the new strings routing cracked.

I am in Chicagoland... To Bad I Couldnt Come Looks like it was a really interesting convention. To bad I couldn't make it so I could sell some of my collection and make room for some new pieces, and learn a few new things about vacs.

I Would Use A Shop - Vac Industrial Model... I suggest a Shop - Vac Industrial model, they are rugged, well built, and easy to use. They also can handle wet enviroments, and pretty much suck up anything. I find the older Industrials better built than the latest models.

I got this machine at the local flea market and it was not correctly assembled. I obtained parts for this machine due to the ones it came with it being incorrect. I am unsure how this brush goes back together, and I am looking for a picture of this area on a machine that is already assembled...

For Parts, Your Best Choice Would Be... For parts, I would suggest looking for a junker. an old beat up airway that is cheap, that would keep it close to original and not cost a fortune. best place to find those is in the garage of an estate sale or on eBay.

Earlier this week we were looking around an estate sale and I came across a very interesting early screw in plug. I'm guessing it may go with a very early cleaner... It is marked Benjamin. I am unsure if this goes with an early machine, but it highly resembles an early hoover plug. Just...

Looks to be something like a repainted Silver King... its probably for the mid to late 1950s or early 1960s. The nozzle carpet sweeper thing on it looks to not be correct with it, the original would probably be aluminum.

were'd you find one... I never thought these could really be found anymore. amazing find.
