My goal for this project is to bring focus to the incredible beauty and engineering of these machines.  I show attachment combinations that made vacuuming fun that day!   Composition 1   1955 Electrolux Model E 2018 10 Foot Hose 2016 Dyson Combination Tool   Many thanks to the...

CenTec tools look awesome... Mike, thanks!  Those brushes are so interesting!  Like the round surface brush and the 15" floor brush, and their mattress tool is wild.. never saw one like it.

Love it! Great find, Keith.  Looks mint to me!  Enjoy.

I love dusting with my vintage vacuums using their original attachments,  but their brush hair is rarely in the best condition to use often without it deteriorating more with each use....   So... has anyone found good quality,  dense,  perhaps natural hair dusting attachments lately?  ...

I agree with Josh... Gorgeous door stops are hard to find!  

Congratulations! I love the color and texture combo of the attachments. Very nice.

So appreciative that you demonstrated them! More than just pics, it's such a cool thing to be able to hear the motors, see the bag inflate, look at the gorgeous details like the little red Hoover (bakelite?) emblem above the light that is illuminated...   What a treat!   You really know...

Off the charts! That is one bad ass machine!    It is amazing that it still works after so many decades.. and the body and wooden attachments' condition is stunning!   Those sparks you can see from the brushes is a combination of artistic and scary as hell!   I wonder if it was...

Awesome! Thanks for posting that video!

Awesome!   Maybe you can find an original hose on Ebay.   Be wary of scams.. sometimes things don't arrive as described..and you have to return.    Bill

Gorgeous! Boy does that look almost mint!  I love my two Gs, one in teal and another in brown/beige.  They have great suction for an older machine and are easy to pull around and use for over an hour without overheating!   Try these HEPA cloth bags, they work very well and fit perfectly...

Wild guess... Is it the Kirby with the main carpet nozzle attached?

Thanks Brian! I got a visual!  Perfectly understood from a great description!

Novice question... What is the difference between Straight Suction and Direct Air?  I think classic Royal uprights and Kirby's are Direct Air.  So what categorizes Straight Suction?

Owner's manual doesn't list ingredients. You're right, most likely it was toxic earlier on.   But let's hope they changed the formula by the 50s!   And, yes, other brands like Lewyt had similar attachments. [this post was last edited: 8/26/2018-13:26]

Here you go.. Gorgeous,  thoughtful,  and useful attachments from my favorite brand!

Just added one to my collection yesterday! Great thread for a classic, guys!   I'll need to provide him some TLC, but all in all, in good condition!
