Found this at an estate sale, gave her a spa treatment & new belt & she looks pretty good for her age. Always wanted one of these as a kid. It even came with the attachments which look as if they were only ever used a couple of times. I grabbed it & took it to the checkout table, the lady...

I found this same model when dumpster diving behind one of our local vacuum stores the other day.I don't have alot of room for more in my collection so I left it though.

Graham that's a beauty! Love how it polished up. And I agree that the black bag does compliment the machines lines. What a wonderful addition to your collection.

Memories... That's the first vacuum my mom had when I was a kid. I remember running it around the house at 2 years old. My grandma bought it for her, buying one for herself & one for mom. Except theirs had the bright blue bag that's on the right machine with the base on the left. Is the left...

Wil that looks like an awesome restoration! I love the blue color of the Tradition. My sister had one in the mid 80's that I used to love playing with when I was at her house. Sometimes I would get to use it in canister mode to vacuuum out her van which was always a thrill.

I have one too! Derek, I have the exact same Lark. I found mine a couple years ago in a thrift store. It's still on the to-do list as far as cleaning & restoring. Love the turquoise color. Where did you find the brushes? I need to replace mine as the strip is cracked.

Welcome from down I-70 Hey Scott welcome to the club from a fellow Kansan! Glad to have you aboard :)

my grandma had one of those in a tan color. I was always fascinated with the floor nozzle on that model. As I recall they take a bag that fits into a "cassette" that fits into the cleaner.

slow startup sound Hey Chase, I have the sunflower yellow Kenmore. I purchased it new at Sears a few years ago. You are right it does have a distinct "slow" startup sound. Mine has developed a loud air leak that I need to track down & fix. You probably know already, but there is an...

Electrolux Hose I have this same hose. It goes with my aqua model G. Mine also has the external cord for the power nozzle.

Hoover Concept One Hey Jason, nice find there! I have that exact Concept One! Found mine at a thrift store, it is in mint condition as well. Have always had a love affair with the Concept Line. Always wanted to try a non-powerdrive model. Curious how hard it is to push versus Powerdrive models.

Enjoyed this thread sooo much!! Wow Alex, I just made it back to Vacuumland tonight & was checking out posts. What do I find, but your awesome thread on your Ultra-vac. I haven't been on in awhile due to being with my mom while she had surgery & getting her well enough to go home finally. I...

Hi Gary, thats a great Dial A Matic you found! I love them, although I don't have one quite as nice as yours in my collection.

Steve, nice find, I have a G4 that I found at a garage sale for $5.00. Was clogged & so filthy, but it polished up nice & it's recently my daily driver. I didn't realize a stiffer pet lover's brushroll was available. I think mine does well, but could lift the nap a bit better.

Nice Hoover haul guys! Looks like it was a good weekend for estate sale finds.

Welcome to the family! Glad to have you here. I am a new poster here as well, but already have had great conversations. It is so awesome to have our common interest that other people can't understand :) I was made to feel weird about my love of vacuums when I was younger, but now it's so...

Dave, I thought you would find the S-4 an interesting model in the lineup. I want to know more about the history of the entire line as well if anyone of you Vacuumlander's out there have any details or pics. John, I would like it if mine were to take paper bags like yours did. However I may try...

It is a great find I think. Charles it its a noisy thing, actually noisier than I expected the little thing to be. And the price was definitely right. It's gonna be a favorite in my collection for sure.
