thats a LOT of meatballs! looking foward to seeing you saturday. sent you a fb message today as well.

with as dusty as it is, looks like you had a hell of a find at an estate sale?

Keith, hospital G's could be bought by anyone who wanted them. while commercial settings with high exhuast filtration did indeed order them, anyone could request that unit from a dealer or salesman too.

bearings have nothing to do with carbon arc. those are two separate things. unless the belt is too small pulling the motor to tight pushing the carbons out of plane, THAT can cause arcing. not a bearing.

roll easy i found out from marc turbyfill, spray silicone spray in the wheels where the two metal rings make contact and itll roll wonderfully. you have to pull the exhuast air plug on the one end and lift the handle on the other to access the area. one light spray will do it. clean up the...

that's the same power nozzle motor airway used in thier rugmaster pn's from the 70's. its not a commonly used lamb motor and is 100% serviceable sam. you can reseat the carbons on this easily and keep the motor that's in there. even the bearings are 100% serviceable. that pn motor is...

its truly funny you really think he will care for that stuff in any way. you havent seen the way he stores it and very little of what he already has is restored or functional. i dont know how he conveyed it to you to get it, but it will not be cared for like you believe it's going to be hans.

specifically for kirby, original bags, cords, bumper trim and decals. for most other brands its completely different items that are hard to find. with hoover its cords, vinyl jackets and attachments and attachment hoses. with other brands its outer bags, cords, and brushrolls and belts.

people only make replica bags for pre war cleaners. vinyl and pad printing to make text and logoes is costly. no collectors make replica bags for any cleaners for that era.

i remember your posting on ebay, you wouldnt ship, and refused to sell except as an expesnive $2000 lot. when you set such rigid requirements to offload things. guess what? they dont sell.

yes, anything made by hoover badged for wards in the late 70's was very rare actually. more rare than penncrest. someone must really want it. normally 70s badged wards vacs (eureka or hoover) have little to no demand. its not penneys and isnt as desirable.

What station John? was the segment online?

Liam, motor rewinding is something you cannot teach yourself. that requires years of specific training and highly precise skill and tools to do properly. you cannot do that at home. take it to a motor shop.

contrary to popular mis belief no the 33 was and never had ANYTHING to do with Agnes Moorehead. my spring issue of 1965 hoover worldwide had an interview with Faber Birren, the colorist hoover hired for the color schemes on thier appliances starting in 1956. Faber suggested the color for 33...

fantomfan57 you can order pliobond on eBay or special order it at any ace hardware and pick up. i will warn you though, and its on their msds/product application verbiage, once opened those cans have a 9–12-month shelf life, then dry solid. this is unavoidable due to how pliobond cures. once...

Eureka1998 The original oreck, the cvr4000, was actually based on the whirlpool cvr, which was a failed vacuum design that was a flop for sears just a few years prior. sears/whirlpool sold the design to david oreck. i doubt sears would make a "competitor" to something they sold off originally...

back when being a kirby man was a respectable job and could earn a good living doing it. i love non vacuum related stuff like that. especially that ashtray.

only the red box of attachments goes to that 511. none of the classic omega stuff you want. thats from a vacuum 22 years newer and that miracle head will not work on a 511.

this isnt a c8, its a c7

why do you only care if something is rare? you ask this often and its getting annoying.
