couldn't help replying. I think it's mid to late 80's. The entry level ones from the 70's were gold and orange. Model 1620 and up. Then the 1200 series came along in about 1978 in Brandywine (1279) with canned ham shaped 1289 also. Green came following grey, and a royal blue, along with the...

Several systems us the Lamb 2 or 3 stage bypass motors. Some for very large or commercial installations even use two motors. If you mean portable cleaners, then probably large commercial types.

Yes, lead safe? Have a look see at Pritcher Oklahoma today.

Those warning labels are all over everything in California that contain or maybe may contain any sort of ingredients that may cause any type of a health risk. They are even posted at swimming pools. Now, maybe it goes too far, but anyone alive that remembers Love Canal, or the Hinckley...

At least the old fashioned non electric Bissels were actually made in Grand Rapids too.

Bwaaaaahhhhhh! Love it Tod K. Before I'd post fake news, or have one of my chief advisors tell me to, I'd first think that my own building has security camera footage of all who come and go, and that I would more than likely know about it before last week, more like before the end of last year...

I like your humor Andy! I'm a train buff also.

Oh!, (for Andy); he meant the date of manufacture! At first, I thought, I'd rather date a bodyguard-man.

I had a Rainbow demonstration. Nothing wrong with a Rainbow at all in my opinion. I just didn't need another machine. I agreed to the demo for a friend of a friend. He used the white cloth on the upholstery tool and showed me how it got dirty after cleaning an area of carpet that had been...

I did the survey, while not logged in. I stated if I spend more than $500 US for a cleaner, it should last a very long time, and not need costly bags, filters, or regular costly upkeep. As for homes with pets, that is a no brainer. You clean more often, unless you live in squalor, or enjoy...

Good question Mike. I'd go to a vac shop with your vac and compare it to the newer brush rolls. I don't own a Miele, but I have two Beam power nozzles, and one has stiffer brushes than the other. One is a Eureka Express style design with a steel beater bar. It has the stiffer. The other has a...

Mid late 60's. New shapes sold well. I think the vibra-beat is cool. Most say they don't pick up well. I have one with only one row of brushes, and it does pick up well. Some had a knob to retract them.

They copied a lot of western products. Henry Ford even helped them with the Gorky-ZIL automotive plant. Several copied General Motors and Packard styling. The first Moskvitch car was mainly an Opel Kadette, and the Lada sedan a Fiat 124.

"Thrift Store" would be like Salvation Army, Goodwill, St. Vincent DePaul, etc. There are several on Long Island. Maybe just not out in the Hamptons, but there are around Hempstead and Huntington.

Did they still make the round canisters in 1959? My parents received a pea green canned ham Mobile-Air vibra-beat for a wedding gift in '59.

If the hose end and wands are round and not oval shaped, 1-1/4 inch standard tools will work. Otherwise you need the oval shaped tool openings, or the adapter.

"Kirby Tradition" then some break with tradition. Thats called progression. Every decision has a consequence.

Unless the power nozzle caused the short.

You could get an inexpensive continuity tester to check the hose port on the canister. Not a multimeter unless you know what you are doing and what to set it for so as not to damage it. Just a two wire type with a light bulb for 110 volts. If the hose power port has voltage, the hose was the...

Nothing. Do they even still make Mighty Mites? Eureka simply badged them Sanitaire to sell to commercial buyers.
