    Proper setup for Electrolux wall bracket

    Louis, this bracket is for a canister model Electrolux, not a central vacuum. The central vacuum bracket and tool caddy is different, I will try to remember taking a picture of ours and send it to you. Charlie

    70's Central Vac Inlets?

    Those are Beam inlet valves, pretty much a generic universal inlet that was mainly used in low priced installations. They weren't very good, the doors broke off all the time, the gaskets inside the doors pulled off, pretty low end, the good thing is that you can replace them with Hayden or any...

    eBay: Deluxe Automatic Aqua Model G_polished condition

    Very good Charlie, When I restored the machine for Michael he didn't mention that he wanted to restore it to original condition, he told me he had the cord winder replaced at some point from Electrolux and it was a new reel with a cord on it, so I left it, now that he is selling it, I told him...

    eBay: Deluxe Automatic Aqua Model G_polished condition

    Oh Hans, Hans, Hans, your missing something else that is not right on this model G, I am surprised you didn't pick it up, it is even more obvious than the hose. The hose by the way was purchased by Michael because the original one was leaking, I offered to swap curved ends but he like the feel...

    Beautiful Hoover Dial a Matic Not Turning On😰😭🤧

    That is one of the later Dial A Matic's , I would say it is from the 70's. It sounds like it has a stuck carbon brush, most likely it can be fixed by taking a rubber mallet and gently hitting in in the back of the machine in the loser section where the motor is. If that doesn't do it, the motor...

    Omega/classic fan

    The metal fan is 1 piece, the shaft and fan are one piece. On the Omega and newer models, you need a special tool to hold the armature from turning so you can unthread the fan as 1 piece, without the special tool, you will ruin the armature, don't try holding the cooling fan, it is not secure as...

    Electrolux XXX motor

    I have the lamb motor adaptors. Unfortunately they don't come with the gaskets anymore, you would have to make a gasket to seal the plate to the motor and than another one to seal the plate to the machine, they work great. These are universal plates, they can be used on 3 screw mounting machines...

    Speaking of the Hospital G...

    When the G wheels were available, they came complete with the rubber tire, hub cap and aluminum axel. The L wheels, which was also the replacement wheels for the front of the model G came only with the plastic wheel, you had to transfer the metal hubcap over. The rear axels from the L were...

    Speaking of the Hospital G...

    The front and rear wheels are identical on the model G, however the rear wheels have a rubber tire over the plastic wheel. Take a rear wheel off, carefully bend the 4 metal tabs on the back and remover the hubcap and now soak the wheel and tire in hot water and from the hubcap side get a small...

    I need clarification on an Electrolux Power Nozzle...

    This is a 1622 PN with a PN6B hood, the 1622 hood is more rounded and they were prone to cracking. Also, whoever worked on this has the elbow on backwards, the release lever should be on the right and the flat spot in the elbow should be at the bottom.

    two motor central vacuum possibility and identifying a couple power nozzles

    I just installed a VacuFlo 760 2 motor unit in my house last year, prior to that I had a VacuFlo 560 single motor unit. I have to say, the suction is amazing on the 760, both the RugRat and TurboCat scream when you use them. There is a lot of controversy about true cyclonic systems about motors...

    Kirby experts needed..

    The biggest change from the Omega to the Classic III is the TCV (Triple Cushion Vibration) cleaning head. The belt lifter went from cast aluminum to plastic, also they added the "visual belt" window to see the belt and eliminate the confusing "belt is on" "belt is off" lettering. Also, the...
