    Old Singer - Worth Saving?

    Well folks, I've been aware of this old sweeper for quite sometime. There is an old junkyard here that was established in 1977. They still have a handful of cars from the original inventory. Sadly, the big pick-a-part yards are probably killing them. There's vans packed with engines, torn up...

    I'm Selling an AMC on eBay

    We were cleaning my stepfather's house again awhile back and I came upon this old AMC floor polisher. I didn't want it scrapped, I thought someone might want to have it. So I pulled it out and gave it a quick wipe down. I think AMC was a department store and this was likely made by Hoover...

    Some Vintage Items - NOS SEALED Hoover Constellation bags and 1930s Singer

    Well now... I didn't know that! You can buy NEW bags for a Constellation? Those haven't been made in about 40 years, if I'm not mistaken. I'm guessing these are around $3-$5 then? I'll just throw them upon eBay this weekend then. Was my guess on the age and value of the Singer within the...

    HOOVER DELUXE CONVERTIBLE BABY BLUE $30 + SHIPPING

    Hey there! I mechanically re-furbished this vacuum recently and it works fine. Every part inside and out got a THOROUGH cleaning and the hood was buffed (still has some deep scuffs which will never come off). I think this was the industrial version of the Convertible, so they likely had a much...

    Is this bag too far gone?

    Okay thanks I will keep that in mind. For adhesives, I once used this stuff that came in a long tube to restore some speaker grilles on a Magnavox stereo. It bonded the fabric back to the wood and I distinctly remember this stuff stinking really bad. Could this work? I don't remember what its...

    Is this bag too far gone?

    Backside... See what I mean? Everything is just destroyed. I knew the snaps would need to be replaced somehow but all of these holes and the material the bag is made of sure make me wonder if it's even worth it. This bag is not a simpler fabric bag like other Convertibles I used to own. This...

    Is this bag too far gone?

    Well I am finishing a restoration on a running Hoover Convertible and after I dismantled it and cleaned things up, I realized this bag is roached. The spring is stretched, every snap is ripped off leaving gashes in the fabric and it's full of holes. Will it cost more to replace this bag then the...
