. I have the complete Miracle Mate and dozens of other great vacs now in storage. We have moved from a large house with a huge garage, to now, an apartment with no consequential storage options. That means I have much more time than weeks ago when I was under a deadline. But things are now...

. Today a few of the vacs I put in storage. All for sale, if you are interested.

. Here is the Concept II. Anybody in the area of Del Mar CA? I will give you a number of vacuums (not my best) just for showing up!

. I have two concept 2 vacuums. I believe one has the dust buster the other doesn’t. No pre-war vacs, nothing before 1965 really. I am in North County San Diego near the coast.

. Right now I am trying to get locals to drop by. The house sold far faster than I would have thought and we have decided to move over seas. So I need to sell as many as possible as quickly as possible.

I will be moving overseas this summer and will be dissolving my collection of around 200 machines. Anyone around here looking to add to their collection? I am not mailing any vacuums as I am too busy to coordinate that. I will drop off at Fed Ex and let them pack/ship. That can be pricey but I...

. I’m in for one @ $34.99... Almost went for two which would have knocked the price down to $31.50 each, but I got a hold of myself and remembered I have about 150 too many vacuums as it is. Great find OP, thx.

. No I do not. I have a Miele Aluminum and a Gemini canister though. Plus various Tristars, a Miracle Mate, a few Filter Queens. and a bunch of other canisters.

. Hi Joe. Whatever you decide on I probably have that one which i will sell you at a good price. I too live in San Diego and have a large number of vacuums i am slowly selling off.

. Very cool machine! I doubt I will ever see one in person, thx for posting.

. Here is something on 3 in 1 that is similar to what I have seen elsewhere. http://https//brubakerssewing.com/dont-use-3-in-1-oil/

. The pic you posted is a Concept One with power drive and a retractable cord and later style hand grip controls. Here is what I have in that general color scheme.

. Use Sewing Machine oil or Electric Motor Oil, nothing else. Standard 3 in 1 oil is too light, has a mild solvent in it I think. Just a few drops and let it sit for an hour so it can work it's way in. Then fire it up, and Vac away. Mine was a screeching mess one minute, then one of the...

. I may have one I'll sell. Let me take a look tomorrow.

. Great work, restoration posts are the best imo, thx.

. I think gmerkt is long gone from these pages unfortunately. I really liked the stuff he came up with and fixes he would pull off and post about.

. That's a Concept One. Do you want one like that or like this, a Concept II? Thx Ian for pic..

Is this bag awesome? YES

. Bought one of these for $8 with the usual scuffing, general filth, and the complaint that it "wasn't working right." Well all things considered it's a miracle it worked as long as it did considering all the crap stuffed in the fill tube. THE ENTIRE LENGTH of the air path from sole plate to...

. Was Consumer Reports top value upright for at least one year if not more. I think they are great vacs and the teal blue version is one of the nicest looking vacuums of the past number of years imo.
