Scared of.... See that many years back, commented on this thread. Had another revelation of a machine, or rather machines that scared me back when I was younger. The town my dad moved to, post my folk's separation, had another on of those "thrift type places" that had scads of vacuums in it. In...

Update on the Salesman's Electrolux... So I am in a conundrum. Ill get to that in a second. I have pretty much went thru this machine with a comb, polished up a few things, and, have read thoroughly Charles's links he sent me. Here are a coupe of things that Im just going to put out there for...

And Part 2 This is part two, labled part one. http://https//youtu.be/Be-3e2f7zwQ

It's rare that I receive much anymore that warrants me posting here. I mean I do receive things other than this particular machine I'm about to link you to; But nothing THIS special or RARE. I use this word in this particular case, because it's just that VERY rare. And I hate that word when it's...

Citation part..... Here is a new one. No need to even paint it.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Genuine-Hoover-Upright-Vacuum-Cleaner-Handle-Socket-NOS-/252748197127?hash=item3ad8f76d07:g:spUAAOSwTglYj2J1

I'm bummed. Just missed a copy of the 1964 Top Value Stamp Catalog on ebay. Reason, the beautiful available for a GRAND total of 68 books, the Whirlpool Celoc Canister vacuum with the beautiful L Shape powernozzle. Thankfully ( and most sellers do NOT put up vacuum picture pages); they DID in...

What made them electronic? The short answer was nothing. In fact, Consumer Reports in their 1959 tests took issue to this "misleading fact" of Lewyt calling their machine Electronic. There are a few threads in the archives that deal with how Lewyt made the "Electronic" "; "Beater-Sweeper...

I know that Premier made that black commercial upright that. Toby, The three Premier models that I have as part of my collection are a Green and Cream TOL Cord Reel Upright and Swivel Top Canister. And their Commercial Upright in Black, Chrome with Orange accents. There has never been a...

The Bugeye... I have personally seen with my own eyes and hands this very machine.. it runs (have used it several times)..flawlessly with that beautiful Birtman sound that one would know if they were aware of their products. The fact that the manual is there is such a wonderfully added treat...

The "Custom Built" Junior Royal.... One off, or not; this machine is TOO COOL to not have the pictures saved for posterity here.... If one could speculate for a moment, this little job REALLY looks to like a production job. If it isn't, kudos to that aforementioned engineer for cracking out a...

Metropolitan? Looks to me that, it could actually have been a Metropolitan rebuild. They used that brighter blue color, but the ones I've seen had creme color or BEIGE hoses. That company rebuilt thousands and more of the Eluxes over the years, and the "floor tool" on the cleaner (not what was...

Light Up Logo.... The light up Logo was ONLY found on the first blue series of the Self-Propelled. Later models did not have this feature, it was probably eliminated due to cost cutting. Chad

On Kingston... On my way back from Chicago a few years ago, I drove thru Bronson on US-12, as I-94 was a joke (backed up for MILES), and not too many people understand that US-12 while two lane, will get you the same place, but just adding an hour of time. I found the "factory" pretty easily...

I'm sure I have a spare wand, Chad. Tom, If you do have one, I will be grateful and will of course pay the postage and whatever you may need. Please lemme know!! Chad

Hi, I just acquired a very nice 1952 Uniersal Jet 99 with it's hassock from a good friend who found it for me in Chicago. I picked it up during the VCCC convention. While there, at the hotel, I was looking thru all of the parts that members had brought, and was unable to source an original WAND...

The lettering on that poor bag is awful! Truth... I had purchased that machine back in 2001, from a small local vac shop (long closed)...that kept it in his window. The hood was melted and cracked almost in half. I did replace it at the time with genuine NOS Hoover equipment, which was...

Desert Tortoise was correct Actually, he's not... The current information supplied by Sears is the just that. The Current information. Matsushita has been manufacturing canister vacuum cleaners with the 116. prefix since 1994 when the business was purchased from the Whirlpool corporation...

Choco Dolly.... Sam, I too am looking for a chocolate brown caster set for my D2. Seems that , from what I have amassed, the plastic that they used for this run was either cheaper, or molded thinner than the earlier style. NO one, has one, or even can remember the last time they saw a Chocolate...

If you look closely at the "badge" on the handle... It says PREMIER.....
