    Are there HEPA synthetic “cloth” bags for Tristars?

    Several but No "genuine" tristar bag. They are a big step-up on filtration. Go to any of the recent posts about Compact machines and you'll learn lots! I can't recommend them enough! Grreg

    Elextrolux Deluxe XXX (30)

    A wonderful Lux model 30 with the optional cordwinder. The cordwinder pulls in and out like an old fashioned window bling. Don't let it "snap" back in too fast! It's the ruin of many a plug! Les! The bags you showing are NOT at all for this machine. Education is how we learn about the...

    Hoover Constellation Model 85 Shakes

    Les! It might be the motor but it can't be the brushroll as the Constellation is a straight suction canister!

    Precor Sunbeam attachment........

    Gary! Rainbow offered the Preco as an accessory for the chrome dome. It was offered at $19.95 us. They claim it spun at 4500 rpm! And it was just called the power brush. Greg Rainbow di

    Precor Sunbeam attachment........

    Thanks! I think our friend got his companies mixed up! I have several Preco nozzles under various names...Singer, Westinghouse, Beam come to hand. Primitive but effective. Later ones had a plastic neck instead of metal and are prone to cracking. Greg

    Longer Hose....

    No. Miele does not have and kind of electric add-on hose! Wish they did. When I used a Miele years ago, I had the same thought!

    Vibra-beat

    You all are looking at a piece of Eureka vacuum history! The Vibra Beat was a waste of money and one of the most in-effective vacuum tools ever made! To many, the noise equaled power! Fun to use. Search the archives: there's lots about it! Hook it up to a central system and you'll die...of...

    Some of my Kenmore Power-teams!

    Mike! Magic Cord was Kenmore's name for their cordwinder. Some models were called that and often had a little emblem on top saying magic cord. One other fun note about 70's K's was that the plug had a right angle end! Greg

    Kenmore uprights

    Our Webmaster's posting of Kenmore pages has me asking: Did Sear's ever have a really good upright vacuum? The pages Robert posted show a few (or the same ) uprights but was there ever a real "winner" in the Kenmore upright line? I know they had a version of the Singer twin fans and then in...

    Vintage Compact tool wont fit hose or wand

    Compact tools and hoses... Les! Where to you get the idea that Compact metal tools are from Electrolux? Antione! Explain about Compact hoses being larger than 1 1/4" in diameter. You guys make these statements that need backing up!
