Let's hope the quality doesn't take a nosedive now!

Jimmy! Do you have any Regina uprights, the later Housekeepers and so on? Looking for attachments and such also. Thanks! I can call you if it's easier for you to text me any pictures.

Has anyone ever heard of a Regina Housekeeper Ultra Power or an Advance Power? I found a picture of one but no others.

I'm after a set of attachments for my Housekeeper if anyone happens to have any lying around or knows where some are! Thank you!

The vac store may only offer used motors unless suitable replacements are being made these days. Depending on how full service they are they might be able to rebuild the motor, i.e new windings, bearings, etc. I had that done for a Eureka Emperor, it was the only option to get it running since...

I may be onto something when I think it sounds like the commutator could use refinishing. Much like a brake rotor I believe the vernacular for it is turning. If you think about it the motor itself is 20-odd years old with probably carbons that are just as old. I bet turning the commutator with a...

I didn't even know there was an attachment kit! Do you have a picture of it? Yes the marks on the handles indicate different piles. I don't know what difference it would have made by having the handle shorter or longer, maybe a gimmick?

I found this little devil hiding away at my favorite Salvation Army, for 10 bucks I had to have it! I had one many years ago but sold it.

I love it! Awesome find!!

I've actually got two of those beasts, I wouldn't mind parting with one.

If anyone is going there to get vacs, I will gladly pay shipping and a handling fee for that black concept!

You're welcome, glad I could help!

The seller has this marked as Kenmore and Regina, it looks like it's just for an electric broom. http://https//rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F152623173125

Gorgeous machines, but as usual with old vacuums they are only worth what someone is willing to pay for them. I would suggest putting them on EBay.The Birtman may not be worth as much since that company produced so many under so many different names. The singer is more the desirable model.

If someone goes down there please grab that Concept! I will gladly pay shipping for it!

I would love to have that Hoover concept! Sadly there's no way in heck I could get down there :-(

If that's an Ebay link it was probably done to get more exposure whenever anyone searched antique vacuum or the like.

I would throw a donor motor in it and keep it running for another millennia!

So the thrift stores yesterday rendered these two beauties! The Silver King came with all its goodies, original boxes, and the hair dryer bag. The Dirt Devil seems to have nothing wrong with it.

This has always been a hot subject on this forum, Ive seen discussions of it get very nasty indeed. There are those on here that feel smashing anything vacuum related is an offense of the highest order. I read someone on here get there proverbial posterior reamed because they accidentally sucked...
