Shirley was vacuuming with a cannister vacuum The machine...IIRC was a Regina Canister in like cream and gold ( a very common 1970's catalog showroom machine, with all kinda pipes and such that made it look positively clown like. And yeah she got it stuck on her lips. Another machine totally...

Happy Days also used the 91-918 from Laverne & Shirley YES!!!! I forgot they did... but yes!!! I never saw the episode where Howard works on a convertible, but being a hardware guy, and that Hoovers were VERY much sold thru such venues...They should have had the newest and the latest.... I...

It also falls on the continuity director of the show.... I agree... Most all situation comedies such as Roseanne, deal with props such as vacuum cleaners like this.. "will it get the shoot done?" "Will it make noise and appear to be doing the job they do?" and if history is really prevalent...

1205.... I have one of these sitting pretty much NIB up to my storage place. IT was used a HANDFUL of times if that, and is in amazing shape. The family i recieved it from said their mother hated it (usually the story behind cherry vacs like this one), and shoved it in a closet to never touch...

it will cost $50 (parts and labor) for the vacuum shop to.. My opinion on this, which the original poster can take as one wishes... One has been a appliance/ vacuum repair person now for over 20 years...putting a replacement plug on a item such as a lamp for example, that does not require lots...

Oh yes and one other thing.... I was there for nearly three hours and definitely was filmed, as they showed me the activities on a small monitoring screen after.....so SOMEWHERE in CBS's massive vault of what-not, I sit in perpetuity on film, talking about history and fact..... In that entire...

My "outtake" as well.... So, I was asked many years back to be part of one of the "shows" that Kyle was a part of. I drove to his house, and saw a circus in place of cameras, close-ups and come-ons. I and another collector were "interviewed" by these people, and were asked all sorts of...

Early Riccar and Simplicity canister.... The machine in question here, was Tacony's first attempt at a full sized Power-nozzle cleaner. It was manufactured for Tacony, by Matsushita, with it's lineage back to Whirlpool, who owned the vacuum division until 1994-5-6 ? area sometime. The...

Look how sloppy Whirlpool was with the Pliobond when..... Tom, Considering that Whirlpool had just taken over, shook up, and was probably about to close the Fullerton Avenue facility, not really surprised that the machine would be slapped together by disgruntled/about to be jobless employees...

Just thought I'd save the pics for later... These pics are fairly good of the Lady Kenmore Upright. This is done on the washer site (saving the pics) so that later one can see/use/refer them if need be... It's not a bad idea sometimes... Esp. abt. rare stuff...

thanks again for the Packard!! Brandon, Was great to meet you last night, talk about cars and vacuums, and of course the passing on and sharing of machines. Look forward to possibly doing that again sometime very soon, after I find those tools for the 825. As I stated, they are just up...

Well depending on which one you drop it off to, you will get great service on your Riccar... my story is on the west side of town out towards Chelsea and I carry simplicity. Which means that I can also service your machine as well!

Never knew that P A Geier sold Packard... Hey Jeff, neither did I. I believe that Cadillac or Clemens manufacturing may the Packard's first and then later on it shifted to PA Geier!! About to meet His Master's Voice to do the drop off. He likes it as much as he said he does. Misinki... I have...

the red switch was used on the 240 volt export models.. I've seen that same machine on the Craigs for about three months, with no action on it. And wondered why. and now I do. A NOS Rainbow for $499???? I think it was at the time it was listed originally... I cant remember if the initial...

An Update to the Packard Deluxe Model 1949... I was finally able to get the machine here into my store today and get it polished and put on the new cord. It was looking a little worn from sitting under my folks basement stairs in storage for the last decade, so I wanted to give it a nice hand...

I wonder what other "Packard" appliances there are o Well not sure......BUT I did grab the Packard Vacuum this weekend, and it is, in fact a later one made by P.A. Geier (Royal)....It does say "Packard DeLuxe" on it, on the nozzle cap, and on the bag. Which is presentable, but faded and the...

Perhaps I can pick the Packard up IN a Packard That would be awesome. I do like Packards. That isn't a secret....LOL!! I also have a Coffee can Hoover possibly a 725 you can have for parts for your others, if you'd like. It may be a week or so till I'm up there next, but as soon as I get them...

Would like a nice Packard vacuum I have one (pretty sure 98% ) in dry storage up at my folks house, very Similar to the one you have a pic of. EXCEPT I think mine has the JAR lid bag opening. You are welcome to it (for NADA, FREE and ZILCH) as I haven't touched it in almost a decade now. Next...
