Huskyvacs, good idea! Or, assuming it can also be used to install bearings, why not just use a Kirby Bearing Puller? Kent Oyler used to carry them in his Ebay store, perhaps his wife still has some laying around.

Count Vacula bought that Eureka?! Geez, I thought he was only interested in canister vacuums with power heads. He likes to send me emails every once in a while for some reason....

Brian, if you look very closely at the close up photos in that listing, all 3 wheels look the same color in the main pics - BUT look at the close up photos and you can see the slight colour difference. Also, there is slightly more wear on 1 of the 2 rear wheels. That leads me to believe 1 is a...

Be careful with that listing! For a machine described as NIB, it has a replacement wheel in a baby blue colour. Definitely NOT NIB anymore....very minty, but NOT NIB!

Antoine, I noticed in one of your later pics you posted, you have tape on the hose right where it goes into the hose handle. Before you replace it, try taking the hose handle off, take some rubbing alcohol on a cloth, and use it to clean up the brass contact rings on the hose where it makes...

Alex, I totally believe it! Superior Vacuums has this same article posted on their website. Why would they risk getting in trouble with Nuera Air & possibly losing access to the distributorship of their brands by spreading false information? As for the information in the profile, I would bet...

Also check the powerhead neck wiring....is that not tape I see in your first photo? Plus those powerhead necks are known to have wiring issues as they age and need replacement.

I would look first at whether the plastic clip on the hose handle needs to be replaced or it's a bad wand connection. Or could be a wire needs to be seated and glued in place properly. All very fixable without necessarily having to spend money on a new hose. Besides, hate to say it, I wouldn't...

Antoine, if I was in your position, I would scrap trying to repair and resell the vacuum, and just keep it for yourself. Not only are you looking at spending about $200 and up for the board, chances are whoever installed the switch would have messed up and changed ALL the canister's internal...

Brian - Good idea! Ethan could even transplant the Hoover handle and all the trim to make it a Stainless Steel Hoover Connie. Huskyvacs - Valid points there. BUT, if Ethan took all the trim off as well and made it into a Stainless Steel Hoover Connie, the value would NOT be ruined, as the...

Ethan, I have a MUCH BETTER idea that nobody here has suggested so far....Why not put a new 120 volt motor, cord and switch in your cleaner and convert it to 120 volts? If you take it apart, you will see what the size of the motor is, and it is just a common Chinese motor that lots of other 120...

Kirbyloverdan's behaviour The reason Dan liked to be so judgmental and criticize other people's collections if they bought used vacuums, and his flaunting everything from vacuums, to homes, to cars is: Dan is JEWISH! That's the way those people are! Need I say more?

Antoine, can you show us a pic of how you modified the Type C bag to work in the Renaissance? The Type C bags are easier to buy in bulk, and easier to find HEPA Cloth versions, so this would be helpful to everyone on here who has a Renaissance, Epic 8000 or Guardian. The previous owner...

Antoine For the plastic bodied & metal bodied canisters that have a motor exhaust after filter, like the 2100, AP Series & the 80 series canisters, I would just use the 4 ply bags. The material used to make the exhaust motor after filters is the same material used to make HEPA Cloth bags. Plus...

Yes, I have those days. When I am not in the mood to futz around with the vacuum and I just want it done and over with, I grab either my Shark Rocket HV381 or my Sebo Felix. I also have my Miracle Mate Platinum with TriStar CXL PN plugged in in my bedroom ready to use to clean my area rug and...

David As for what bags to use in your SuperVac 180, the other posters are correct - the Eureka F&G bags would be the correct substitute to use on the vacuum in place of the OEM bags. In fact, the generic Kirby Bag Conversion bags offered by vac shops in the 70s & 80s were designed to use the...

Les For that ridiculous statement, I hereby declare you the Vacuumland Dumbass For the Month Of March, 2024. Hmm, now, what was that that Will Hemb, bnsd60m9200, said? I quote: "les you know well as anyone else these don't exist outside bill edstrom or the random hoarder vacuum shop." Les, by...

House paint That brown colour the Electrolux Olympia One used looks like the same brown colour that was used years ago on houses. Go into a hardware store and see if you can find brown house paint in that same dark brown. Then contact the manufacturer - chances are, they either make it in a...

Garry, good luck and I hope you get your money back. Just know that ultimately you're doing the right thing by posting here about Ebay seller "electricvac". I have seen that seller's products before on Ebay, and always thought they were a shady and suspicious seller - now I know why! Even if...

Scott, I can't go unfortunately. But just wanted to say, I thought it was cute to use the movie name "Meet Me In St Louis" with a twist to announce the convention being in St Louis, Missouri. By far one of my favorite musicals of all time :)
