While I was setting in a chair by the door just inside the museum a couple were signing the guest book before leaving. I asked them where they were from and he replyed "New Zealand". He had gone to school at Missouri University of Science and Technology or University of Missouri, Rolla, as we...

Everyone needs an "Air Queen" to go with their "Filter Queen" and "Speed Queen". Everyone - Get your "Queens" in a row! LOL.

This vacuum claims to make one "Mor Healthy".

Here, Tom shows me the details of a pre-war Electrolux and how they changed after the war.

My Great-Grandmother had an Airway like this. Tom told me this color (model) was pretty rare. Guess I should have kept it but I didn't know at the time.

I called Tom at the Vacuum Cleaner Museum & Factory Outlet last week and set up a time to go down to St. James. He said Wednesday (yesterday) would be good for him, so I told him I'd be there. I got there between 10:30 and 11:00 and spent the day. He gave me a tour through the museum to show me...

Hi Ben, For some reason the spray gun looks dark green on both my desktop and my iPad. That's why I thought it was from a Sanitronic 80. Maybe it's his camera or my eyes. Lol. I know about the grays and blacks. The new Avalir is an attractive cleaner. I wouldn't mind having one, but I don't...

Ben, I learned something new. I didn't know that color was made more than one time. B.

That's a Dual Sanitronic 80 sprayer from the late '60's. It's dark green, I think.

Shane, Hello and thanks. The bag on yours is the original. We'll have to remember to wish each other a happy birthday next year.   Brian

OK. I did an experiment. I put a new bag in the 36 and took the whole thing off and put it on the 66. The air flow did increase some, so I think that fill tube is part of the trouble. Will, I think you're right. That burned coil is slowing the motor down just a bit. Between those two things the...

Hi Rick, Yeah, I read "rugsucker's post right after I bought it. Thanks for putting the loose ends together for me though. According to thread # 11425 - And Now.....THE CONVERTIBLE LIST!!!!!!!, by kirbyvertibles in Kansas, the 1958 models had the bag spring and the 1960 models introduced the...

All better now. Here she is looking much better. The other things that concern me are - this vac seems to have less suction than my 36 that I found at a second hand shop this summer. Could it be that the bag fill tube, which is narrower on the end to allow for the connection of the blower...

Well, I don't have a Hoover grease gun and our local vac shop didn't have one. I thought that to be stupid. Hmm.... There's one near Scranton and there's one in Minneapolis but those are too far away. What to do? Hardware store and some ingenuity. Fantastic.

This concerns me a bit. The coil on this field laminate has overheated in the past. It seems to work fine though. I wonder what caused this? Could it have been run for too long of a period with the attachments on that caused this burning. There is no arcing on the armature. I haven't ran the...

Here's the outer bag and cord getting treatment with Meguiar's Natural Shine Protectant. I couldn't find Vinylex anywhere. All everyone had was the leather treatment products from Lexol. I hope this is as good of quality as Vinylex. What do you guys think? I treated the bag repeately and put it...
