Would you consider selling it? If you have the rest(or most) of the attachments, I may be interested in buying it if you want to get rid of it. I have been eyeing these Filtex machines since reading an archived thread about them. How is the performance on them, Hans? I know the attachments are...

My endorsement would be for the Eureka/Sanitaire Mighty Mite. Yes, they are loud, but they are powerful, cheap, and reliable too.

Portable Spencer... Hans, you always find the most interesting things and post the most fascinating comments.

I currently have a 1964 RCA rectangular screen color set with the CTC-17 chassis.

Blasted! Three days later and I notice that I spelled British wrong on the "subject drift" line. Sorry!

Brithish Patent Office, Good luck with that! I just spent the better part of an hour and the closest thing to being able to look up the patent was finding one with the same number that corresponded to a design of a corrugated cardboard box for transporting fragile items like vacuum tubes...

I'll take it! I'm presuming that you forgot the decimal point though.

On my 1205... I just put it in the middle. Considering that it is an Electrolux you have nothing to worry about with regard to motor strain. Set it to the middle and adjust from their. For example if you have dogs and the bag fills up too much with hair before tripping the door just lower the...

Windtunnel SP Discontinued, I'm sure not. With Hoover's usual pattern I'm sure that as soon as the SP is sold out they will be marketing it as a boon to commercial vacuums. (sarcasm) Although, with the standard (nonSP) windtunnel now in the commercial line I am surprised that they can hold up...

How stupid could I be, I accidentally chose the picture of a avocado WE 500 instead of aqua! It's late and I'm tired. Again, sorry for the inconvenience.

I love it, but a suggestion The Stromburg-Carlson telephone is not exactly period. Might I suggest a Western Electric 500 in aqua. Also, since the Bell System was the default telco for most of the US, using a phone as used by independent telcos is not a representation of the '60s that was...

The ad for today, the Hoover Model 28, had the most striking statement, "An appliance without honest service behind it is like a cup without a saucer". Think of it, when is the last time you saw someone use a saucer with a coffee cup or a modern coffee cup set with saucers? Then think of the...

Health Effects of Dust... I generally take Andy's stance on dust building the immune system but I have a personal story that may portray otherwise. When I was around six years old my mother's Fantom Fury died and she replaced it with a Bissell, and as we all know Bissell's cyclone is certainly...

Grasshopper stew anyone? I thought not, but Jim Kirby's Grasshopper came out in 1912, pre-dating the Vacuette.

Do you have a link to that auction? I've gotta see that!

Their yours, Brandon (@coffeecanman) Nobody has claimed them, and I realize that the longer they stay at my house with no purpose the more likly they will be neglected and damaged. Call me at (586)- HOward 8-2942 (586-468-2942) My name is Richard.

I will keep you in mind.

GE Rug Nozzle I just duct taped the wand set to my Fairfax so I could try what looked to be an interesting rug nozzle design and I am amazed at how well it works. Tacony needs to buy the patents for it off of GE for use in a PN free canister. It was just as effective on pet hair as the...

Sorry to sound condescending about Habitat, I do agree with their cause, but this particular store has been known to separate items that clearly go together as well as marking up old broken items to full retail prices. To clarify they put vacuums in one spot and the attachments in another...
