I have the Wards Version GREAT machine I have the off white wards version that belong to my Grandmother. Great machine I just need a powernozzle motor and maybe a new hose. They bought it new (1978 or so) and then their current house in 1986 and the carpets still look new she currently uses a...

I have a blue one too turned light green I bought mine used and before my time or the previous owners it have some exposure to sun or fluorescent light and looks more like a Andes Mint than blue.

Hoover Concept Two Help Mate Filter and other misc parts. Hoover Concept Two Help Mate Filter. I was going to ask if anyone new if the Help Mate filters was still around or where to get one and here I found this post. The Lord does work in mysterious ways. Also looking for a few vintage Kirby...

Extra Long Hoses are handy too! I have a straight suction hose for my Luxes about 10 feet long and it just great for cleaning furniture, hard floors and chasing spider webs and things of that nature. A few extra feet can make a big difference.

Having Two Hoses is Good! I have four Gs currently, an early G that needs some restoration, two in Turquoise and one in Brown. I have one complete in both colors. I have some generic hoses both electric and non electric for when I use the machines and keep the original ones for show. A local...

DVC bags DVC is making most of the bags for the older machines so save some money and by the DVC bags instead of paying more for a DVC bag in a Hoover Package.

I have a Wards Too I have a Wards with the platic tool cover in the same colors. I don't remember the model number but will post some pics soon. My powernozzle needs a motor and the machine was Grandmother's when new.

Hi all I am looking into a 12 to 16 gallon wet dry vac. I am currently tearing out dry wall out my new house. I am hoping to find a machine that is 16 gallons, wet/dry, has a blower function and can use paper bags for dry wall dust and other fine dust. I am thinking of a Craftsman or Rigid. What...

I like the G's too What colors are your Gs. I have four of them. One Early turq and two middle turgs and a brown one. One of each color is complete if I remember correctly. The Gs and Silverado are my favorites. I would love to get a Hospital Model but they are so few and far between and sell...

Connector They offer a variety of connectors like what broke at Radio Shack and other places that sell Electrical or Electronic goodies so a connector should be avaiable if you really want to rig it like that some day.

Where in CA Christine where in CA are you. I am in the SF Bay Area. Ryan

EL 416 The link didn't work. Is it the EL 416 for $11.59 it includes the ends. I ordered two of those about a year ago. I gave one to my friends that I gave an extra Silverado to because they have lots of tile in their house. That way they only use and put wear on the electric hose when...

Attachments Greg I think I have a set of attachments for your Eureka upright that are near mint condition. I got them at a thrift store because of their condition. I didn't have a machine to use them on but felt that with time they would come in handy. Let me check them out and take a pic they...

Hose by the Foot Option If you have good hose ends for a non-electric/straight suction hose most vacuum shops have hose by the foot and they can put your old ends onto the hose. My local shop sells hose by the foot for $1.85 a foot and they have fixed me up with a longer than average Kirby and...

Model 31 Just checked and it is a Model 31. I plan to take pics of it during the weekend.

I have a hose for my Eureka made Wards machine that is missing the black ring for the suction control on the wand end of the hose. Does anyone have or know if I can still get them?

Hi all I just got my first Filter Queen last night at Thirfttown for $15.99. I think it is complete. Plugged it in at the store and then at home and my wife and I were so surprised at how quiet that machine is. I was picking it up to trade with a fellow collector that he and I shop for each...

Wards Version I have the Wards Version of the Eurkea I will have to put some pics up. I also need a powernozzle motor for it. It belonged to Grandma who now uses a G4.

I was in at my local vacuum shop this weekend getting some Kirby bags for my local thrift finds. I noticed in the line to be picked up mid 40’s Kirby. I asked him if he knew it was that old and he said he did. This shop carries genuine parts but is not as good as the old shop they went out of...

Sensor I have three of those models two blue and one in the goldish color. I will look once I get home but I belive the sensor is just below where the hose hooks onto the back of the vacuum cleaner. You will need to clean around the opening about the length of your finger. Ryan FYI one of the...
