Those old paper bags However did leak a lot of dust and it can cause the motor bearings to screech. If you're feeling daring enough to open up the motor those bearings can be oiled too

Those brush rolls Can tend to get noisy if they need a little lubrication. If I remember right the end caps are retained with snap rings, and once you get them off you can clean all of the hair and stuff out of them and oil? them. Best way to know is to take the belt off and brush out and see...

Just seeing that Someone else mentioned the patent sale, my bad for repeating 😆 At any rate, the DAM was a huge innovation and paved the way for Panasonic's success. I wish they still made vacuums!

Adding to that Panasonic purchased the patent from Hoover for the Dial a Matic, and improved it substantially. That design was so successful it's still used today; Tacony is the biggest name still making that style of clean air upright. Straightforward and efficient. This is my work machine...

Ahh! Congratulations! That was my first Panasonic upright too! It's probably still in storage somewhere. As far as I know it was their "budget" model - no headlight, short cord, and no handle release pedal. I loved mine, whisper quiet and was an excellent cleaner. The baseplate was worn so I...

Not worth that cost I was gifted the machine and I don't see it being worth spending up to $20 on one single belt 😂 I'll stick with the vacuums that I can still get affordable belts for. I appreciate it though

Hey all, I got one of these from a friend a month ish ago, a B&D DirtVac. I took the motor out and oiled everything, and it runs great now! Unfortunately the belt I got from the shop is too tight, and it makes the brush roll vibrate excessively. I think it's a Dirt Devil style 2 or 3 but it's...

Keeping this local Shipping is going to be too much of a hassle. This machine is old and fragile and I don't trust the couriers not to damage it during transport. I appreciate all of the interest!

I will no longer Be selling on eBay, I didn't fully understand how the whole process worked until last night, so I will continue to deal outside and ship things the normal way.

Eureka FloorShow Power heads have sold! Thank you to Sam ☺️

This has been Spoken for! Found a local buyer ☺️

Damn it Posted this in the wrong section again 😅 anyway

Hey all! Just picked this oldie up, and I thought I'd see if I get some offers for it before I get to cleaning it. Just to be transparent, the wheels are pretty dried out, as to be expected for a 100-year-old vacuum. It feels like the gearbox turns, but could use some grease. There are some...

Neat! I've been eyeballing those models, they're interesting and I'd love to find one 😁 I'm glad there's HEPA bags available, evidently Sanitaire makes them for their Duralite machine. Been thinking about one of those for my cleaning business too 😂 Looks amazing!

Oh no! I couldn't manage to get that stage out that sits right under the armature, the one that looks like it twists on. So I think that bearing is still noisy but doesn't seem to be putting drag on the motor. It sounds almost healthy when it's running so I'm not stressing 😂 but now after...

Emailed you 😆

Well it looks like I answered my own question 😂 it was time to retire my D3C and lucky me it had the spider I was looking for. Unfortunately I did have to drill two of the screws out of the flange on the D4 to get the old spider out, but rust is a thing. Got everything put back together on the...

Ooh! It has the new style nozzle too 😎 Well the question is... How much would you want? And what's shipping gonna run? All of the ones on eBay that are somewhat reasonably priced have astronomical shipping

For your viewing pleasure, eurekaprince this is for you! Just made a video kind of explaining how the hose and floor change over works on the Excalibur, I may have misspoke about which way the diverter valve moves. When you pull that hose out I think it may flip over to the right to cover the...
