    Hoover Convertible U4127?

    There has been much.... Debate over which model was the first plastic based, and when. Some would say that the 4119 and U4127 were not the first, because the Sea Blue Estate was reissued as the Convertible Elite Mode U4103, and was reissued as a plastic based model. As well as the Mint Green...

    Eureka/Sanitaire age anomally

    Those are..... Wild Moss that you are thinking of. Moss green and Wild Moss are two different colors. Besides the Wild Moss Centennials came about in 1976, they are the 2nd line of Eureka to have the new Lexan base.

    Eureka/Sanitaire age anomally

    ok...That is not from 1978. Major clue one, the rocker switch. look on the base for a little circle, with a raised center that looks rather like a nipple. In that circle should have two digits. As you have already applied those two digits are the year. Seeing what I am seeing, the rocker...

    To keep or not to keep

    That is a 1985.... K-Mart Exclusive Convertible. Doesn't look too bad. If you decided that you did not want it, I'm sure someone here would.

    When did the first Dirt Devil arrive on the on the scene?

    1st off.... A Sears Catalog would not help. Because in the 1970s and 80's Sears did not sell name brand items, they only sold THEIR brands. Sears and Montgomery wards and JCPenneys started selling name brand products toward the end of the 80's   As we all know the Royal Prince had been...

    Anyone have a Eureka

    That is my Youtube channel.... Prince is correct, there were 4 different models that were considered the Sweet 16's. As the commercial states, they are called that because they were suppose to be simple. When they were first introduced, they were just the lower side of Eureka's Canister range...

    Royal Metal Uprights - Belt Question

    Yes Ben.... I know how to use the belt lifter tool. I was simply suggesting that you might obtain one since you stated you have difficulty changing a Royal belt.

    Royal Metal Uprights - Belt Question

    well, for the amount of machines I have..... Since I have a rather large collection. I SHOULD disconnect belts on things that don't get used that often. Belts do wear on any machine, weather the machine gets used or not. Because there is always tension between brush roll and belt pulley. But...

    Premier Duplex

    No..... The Premier's were made by General Electric. I was a line owned by GE that was suppose to be more affordable. It started in the late 20's and went all the way through to the late 70's or early 1980's.  Here are pics of my 1949 GE to compare.

    HOOVER SPECIALS

    how could that be rebuilt in 1952... When the rebuild program was discontinued in 1950?

    HOOVER SPECIALS

    I has asked Tom A about this.... He said that Hoover discontinued their rebuild program in 1950, with the introduction of the model 29, and the 62. So this would have to been rebuilt absolutely no later then 1950.   I think the machine you have see before is a model 60, not a 61. They look...
