    What is the most amount you've spent on a vintage vac?

    It's not the vacuums.... The parts and things I buy for the vacuums I have seem to cost me more than the vacuum itself. I got my Electrolux LX for $5 then spent $40 for a nice looking original hose. My Kirby D80 was $40 then another $40 for a correct bag.

    Does it bother someone else at your house?

    I just (very) recently became interested in vintage vacuums - I'm 40 years old and do have other interests as well. In the last two weeks, I found an old Electrolux at a garage sale and then bought a Kirby at a flea market and have spent some time at home cleaning the vacuums up, admiring them...

    my Kirby Dual Sanitronic 80

    Thanks I bought the correct bag on ebay and started polishing - it's not easy to get that mirrored finish I see on some of the other vacuum's posted on this site. The TR4 is a great car - it's amazing how many people stop me to tell me that they use to have one. Out here in California it's not...

    Also at the flea market an Invincible - they wanted $150 for it - it looked cool, but was more than I could afford.

    how to tell if your hose is leaking

    Hello, I just got an original looking hose for my Electrolux LX - can anyone recommend a good way to test it for leaks. I do hear a slight whistling sound where it connects to the canister, but am not sure if it's leaking under the fabric covering the hose. Thanks!

    Looking for Electrolux LX manual

    Hello, I was wondering if anyone had a manual for an LX or could tell me where I could view one on-line. I'm trying to figure out how to put in a new air filter (if there is one). Thanks, Finnian

    Need Hose and bags for Electrolux LX

    Hello, I just bought an Electrolux LX for $5 at a garage sale, but it didn't have a hose and only came with one bag - I was wondering if someone could tell me if they had an extra hose that would fit this model or where I might look other than Ebay. Also, what bags fit this model and where are...
