so Ben let me ask you this, or anyone else that might know.. As far as the 516-561 are concerned, how many of the boxes boasted the "Mark IV" (I cant quite remember the actual number off hand so excuse that.) name?   My AunTie Joey, when I was a kid always had Kirbys, at this time...

That is SEA blue..... Not seafoam. His a actually the first variation from 1976, it is actually model U6039. Which means your bottom plate has been replaced.  Now how I can tell yours is a earlier one is, that is has the older, smaller Hoover plug. In 1976 Hoover changed over their plugs to one...

Hello, Yesterday afternoon I stopped at a Estate sale and found something! I walked in to the garage, and saw this poor dear shoved into the corner with a free sign, so me liking higher end twin fans with all the bells and whistles, had to grab this. Turns out she was just coverd in paint...

On a power drive DAM.... Sadly, the handle is not removable. Only the non Power Drive models are. So thus it was packed in one piece at the factory, and it will have to be shipped in one piece.

I am glad you are there to help me Ben.... It seems you are the ONLY one whom took interest in this thread. I thought there were others on this forum that liked Royal...

Hey there Vacuumland, old Jae here again to share my new find! This past weekend I happened to be in the company of my good friend and fellow collector Phillip Muller, and we were on a thrifting expedition, and we ran across this what appeared to be a Electro Hygiene, for $6.00 and tax. Phillp...

no.... That is the same one. Model U5007 in Coppper.

I have a model U5007. In fact mine is in mint condtion. This is not a easy model to find.

My first love was.... A 1973 Straight suction Eureka Cordaway princess I had many many years ago, I loved that thing, and remember it well. I finally found one a few years back in mint condition, and the memories flooded back.   But, when I started collecting, I didn't really have a...

Absloutly NOT! That is one of my more prized Eureka's. Besides, I cant STAND Meile!=(

Actually... That model is a ligher more carmel brown, than the dark Chocolate hot fudge brown of mine and his. Here is my set of the 1980 Wards, including the one speed 6AMP model that is listed, but not illustrated in the catalog. I have never seen another.

Nice find! That is part of the 1980 Hot Fudge, and Forsting White Montgomery wards collection. That was the top of the line model. It should have had a white and chocolate brown box top bag with it. Also here is the 1980 Montgomery Wards catalog page, showing the range of Hot Fudge machines...

Just beacuse the belts..... Look like they are good, doesn't mean anything. change them.

Just beacuse a vaccum cleaner has been in business.... For 100 years does not mean they know whay they are doing. You for that matter of fact have questionable practiceed your self. So I woulnt be so fast to give in stone advice.

No Andy.... Any GOOD vacuum cleaner shop will tell you 2 to 2 months!

yes I do have a suggestion..... Try replacing the Power Drive belt. Hoovers of this type that are self propelled have two belts, one that runs the power drive unit, and one that runs the brush roll. BOTH need to be replaced every two or three months. Just remove your bottom plate, and you will...

I shure wish... Hans would post some pics. It would be a shame if people started thinking he doesn't have what he says he does. Of course I don't doubt it, beacuse I know Hans, but many don't.

Absolutely Stunning! You have a line of what no one else does! Many many congratulations!

well, after many many times in this situation..... Here are my thoughts. have had rare machines before, that I have kept, or bought locally on the ONLY principal that they are rare, and I have many that I will never sell because not only are the obscure, but they are treasured as well.   My...

and...... Post some pics...
