yep huskyvacs, Yes that is one of the earlier model Airway's I don't see the power switch on that one. Jim

your right This is a early Airway with a newer nozzle. That nozzle with the adjustable height came out in 1929. Earlier models had the black nozzle tube and the black rear wheel bracket. Jim

Not what I thought or am I wrong? I took these pictures this morning and was a little disappointed when a realized that the finish on this was not oxidized but what looks like a blue/grey paint or what I would call a powder coating on it. If you look closely you can see on the motor housing and...

WOW!! Kyle, What a wonderful find, and once again you made it look better then new. You have set the bar very high here. Inspirational work indeed. What type of rivets did you use to attach the nozzle trim? Also what did you use for the nozzle bumper trim? Love your work! Jim

on the way Adam, The 509 wheels are on their way to you. Please take a few pics of your 509 to share here. Good luck on your 509 project! Jim

Thanks so much For all the comments and votes of confidence on this old Kenmore. It showed up last night and after getting a closer look at it, I agree with kirbylux77 this Kenmore looks very much like a Hoover 725 I have in my collection with almost the same exact set up. Jim

I have this Kenmore Deluxe coming to my house soon. This Deluxe has no light and I don't know what year this Deluxe model came out. Maybe the armature will have the year stamped on it. It appears to be all original. Looking forward to restoring this old Vac and adding it to my collection. Jim

509 wheels Adam, The 509 came with black vulcanized rubber wheels. Picture 1 is my 509 with the original wheels. Also picture 2 is my 510 with the original bag which is the same bag as the 509. Picture 3 is my 509 with a Mike Balda bag on it. I have a set of these wheels if you give me your...

very nice You did a great job on this old one. Thanks for posting. Nice addition to any collection. Jim

Interesting Hoover300, I can't see the name tag in the picture. Does it have the deluxe name or just Kenmore? I also noticed that some have a name tag on the nozzle like mine and some do not. Jim

How many Kenmore Deluxe styles are there? I have seen three different Deluxe Kenmore's with lights and without. I have seen two with lights, and one without. Picture #2 shows the two models on the left with lights. I have this pictured deluxe without the light coming to my shop soon. What year...

Here's another This one is a little cheaper...

very nice Kyle, You are a man of many talents, the bag you made is amazing well done. I'm sure you will make the Kenmore Automatic look amazing as well. They will make a great pair. I'll be watching. Jim

WOW!! Kyle, What a wonderful looking vac. You have done it again, love your work. Thanks for posting. I always enjoy seeing your before and after pictures. Will look forward to seeing the video. Someday I will find one for my collection. I was wondering where did you find the beautiful bag...

huskyvac, We have a page here where you should be able to do that, the miscellanea page. Problem is you need to be a paying member to use it. Even there as we have seen in the past people want to talk politics and such but get upset or want to have the page removed when they see or hear...

It's more like If you want to bring politics into it on these pages, I'm more then happy to get into the mud with you. "If you can't take it, then don't dish it out"...simple. I can take the slings and arrows where others are afraid to speak out because they might be blackballed here. Try...

Not just California New York has also banned gas stoves. All new homes and buildings will be all electric no gas. Now what this has to do with "Maga's" or the "proud boys" is the question of the day. Why don't you just blame Trump? Again, we were told by our friends on the left there was...

Thanks Thanks for all your hard work putting this together. I love my Eurekas and hope to add more to my collection. Thanks again!! I keep an eye always open for old adds for my models K, and M. Jim
