Hoover Uprights 29 to 1100

Older Hoover Uprights

Has passed away at 104. She was quite a lady and supporter of many charitable causes including the gay community. Here is a picture of her with a group of us at a Center On Halsted function in Chicago a few years ago. Miriam Ulbinen was the housekeeper of the late Howard Earl Hoover, Sr...

Greetings from Palm Springs. Well I never thought I would entertain the idea of having a robot vacuum. I thought that they just couldn’t clean as well as a regular vacuum. When in Omaha for Thanksgiving Greg Nunn just had to have one and picked it up at Nebraska Furniture Mart. And I became a...

That is why Since I have been back in Southern California for a year and a half, I have avoided LA like the plague. So far I have managed to avoid going in. It was getting bad when I lived there for 21 years but hear groans when anyone from Palm Springs has to go in.

I Put an MD Silentmaster In a hall closet in my home in LA. No basement and a detached garage. I originally had a regular MD unit but my partner worked from home and the unit was next to his office. Way too loud for him when the housekeeper was there twice a week. Replaced it with a...

Tracked down the post When I obtained this machine, Interesting Provenanace. http://www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?12009

Downsizing again. Check out my listing for a like-new 1965 Canadian Electrolux Model 88 with all accessories. http://www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?34276_

From the home of a vacuum collector. This is a beautiful Canadian Electrolux Model 88 vacuum cleaner. The original owner either didn’t use it or was meticulous about maintaining it. It has literally no scratches and the hose is like new. All original and includes the original sales receipt from...

I Agree Rob Old is not bad. I have had a Classic III since I bought it new in Chicago around 1977(?) Sent it back to Cleveland around the mid 90's for a complete rebuild. It is still one of my favorite vacuums. It is the only vacuum in my collection that has always been out and ready for...

I agree with Charles Easier to deal with and better for the cords.

Love This Machine It's built like a Sherman tank and cleans very well.

Finished Product And now back in service. I'll have to find some maroon paint to match to touch up the bag clamp.

As said The finished product is a bit rough, but the bag is now secure.

Since I am a Quilter I know my way around a sewing machine. This repair presented some challenges since the tears are right along the top of the bag really close to the edge with a elevated edge that goes under the bag clamp. The good news is that the repair will be under the clamp so won't...

When Charlie sent the 29 back he reminded me that there was some tearing of the bag at the top under the bag clamp. Since this bag is otherwise in excellent condition and I do want to use this machine, these tears need to be repaired as to not worsen.

One Last Shot Of the 29 running. It runs like new and grooms the rug beautifully.
