I can sell you the Perfect Battery Power Nozzle for $139.00, the lithium battery is $49.50 and the standard charger $31.50, total would be $220.00 plus NY tax and shipping.

It would have to be a Classic III head because the Classic 1CR and Omega !CB does not have the Visi Belt window in the middle of the Belt Lifter. If you removed the Belt Lifter from a Classic or Omega head the hole in the center is much smaller. It must have been a factory flaw that there was no...

The green metal rebuilt plates were used by Authorized Kirby Sales & Service distributors to install on machines when we rebuilt them. We had a set of metal punch letters and numbers to filll in the information on the tag, this one obviously wasn't filed in.

The 4150 was Royal's commercial version of the Pony, it is dark grey in color and the wands are very unique to this model, wasn't really used on many production models. They are standard looking button lock wands but upside down. The upper part of the wand fits into the handle end instead of...

Ben, when I was at the Kirby factory with the VCCC in 2014 celebrating Kirby's 100th Birthday, we took a tour of the factory. The tour guide that works for Kirby was taking us around the factory for a tour and at one point he was saying that all the parts on the Kirby were made in America. At...

Yes, I have made many. I took a power nozzle receptacle from a Hoover Celebrity and took the right side name plate bumper off the model 30 Electrolux. I Dremeled the bottom about an inch from the front, slid the receptacle in, hot glued the wire inside the bumper along the top so it wouldn't be...

Very nice find. This Super J was the last run of Super J's. built in 1978 The differences are that the last run came with a 5 year motor warranty because the earlier Super J's were prone to have bad armatures. Also, the inside of the bag door is powder coated gold instead of the usual cast...

Happy New Years to all my vacuum friends out there !!!!!! May 2020 be filled with good health, and prosperity for all.

Congratulations Tom and Donnie on your radio interview. I hope I can get out to see your museum in the near future. Best of Luck !!!!!!!

Has anyone seen the Electrolux Model E on eBay right now? The machine has metal runners on it instead of the 3 wheels that it normally has? If you look at the runners they don't look home made, they look almost factory by the way they attach to the front of the machine where the swivel caster...

John, I too used to enjoy the printed copy of the newsletter, also living here on the East coast it would be great to have a convention here. I am sending in my dues to rejoin the club. Hopefully I will be able to make one of your mini meets this year.

John, I thought the Model 1100 was the first Dial A Matic? It looks very similar to the 1118 except it does not have the "bag check" indicator. I have one in my collection that is in near new condition, there are a few other features on the 1100 that was changed shortly after it was manufactured.

There was no wheel in the front, it was a plastic white button in the hole, that vacuum only had 2 wheels. Oh BTW, that model is not a Dual Deluxe, the Dual Deluxe was tan and the only Sunbeam that had the optional turbo nozzle for carpeting.

Check the seal between the motor and the bag cage, it probably is out of position from when you repaired the switch.

Tom, your CA is a beauty, if you ever want to sell it let me know. I was interested in this one but he said it is no longer for sale.

Antoine, the Compact was painted with crinkle paint, about 20 years ago Hesco sold crinkle paint,The brand was ILL BRONZE, I believe, but it was brutal to use. I think they outlawed it. When you sprayed a vacuum it would come out very fine almost powder type, it was so fine it would float in...

There was an episode of The Bob Newhart show where they had an Electrolux 1205, I believe it was on a chair and they were using it as a blower. Also, there was an old sitcom called Please Don't Eat the Daisies, where they used a Hoover 913 to vacuum their giant old house. On Seinfeld there was a...

Congratulations Tom on your new venture, I am sure you will do well. I see nothing but bad coming from Tacony, it sounds like they are in trouble, and I think their last ditch effort to resect their company is to now sell Simplicity products in "big box" stores which is something that was...

John, 2008 also was my first convention, we had a great time there, it would have been nice if the Hoover factory was actually in operation instead of a ghost building like we witnessed. I would love it if the convention was in Pennsylvania, I know few of the old time collectors might actually...
