I agree It was great to hear the machine powered right up after all these years. Now if the machine were to be assembeled "just for photos" I believe it would have a much better chance of selling. Its difficult for potential buyers to visualize the unique design of this machine when their only...

Flagged? David, I thought other members would like to be availed of a new listing on eBay for a vintage Bison. Just so you're aware, this is not my eBay listing nor my Centurian. I do so hope you and I don't continue to have issues.

Has a reserve and does not include the rug nozzle. But includes some attachments and the floor polishing head.

Nice machine Looks fantastic in near pristine condition. Great find, enjoy.

Hey Dave Nice rant. Drama club member as well?

Hi Dave. I have a better idea, Dave, You offer Jimmy $800+ and add his green Bison to YOUR vac collection. I've been collecting vacuum cleaners for over 15 years. The most I've ever paid for a vintage vacuum was $200.00 and that was for my NEW brown Bison Centurian.

Handle and hose on eBay Hi Sid, I was doing my general vac surfing on eBay today and came across a new lux hose and a used hamdle that includes the top metal housing trim plate. New hose item # 390494082056 Handle w/ Top metal housing trim. item # 170968035292 Hope these items might help...

The buffing attachments? I took a look ay my Bison Centurian. Bison did make a few minor changes on the machines. So I'm not sure if the buffing attachments would be compatible between the two models. I wouldn't be using the buffing attachments. Considering there are no parts available to...

Da Bison Hey Jimmy, Sorry to see the Bison didn't sell. My offer to you to buy it out right still stands. At least you won't have any eBay final value fees to pay. Not to mention it would have a good home.

Great machine This will be a fun restoration project. I recently restored a Lux just like it. As for the PN1 power nozzle. I would suggest replacing the brush roll and belt, and yes, while you have the PN1 top cover off it wouldn't hurt to put a drop of oil on the motor armiture's drive shaft...

Hey Fred I do in fact remember you mentioning during our conversation that your green Bison sold for over $800.00 I have no doubt eventually the seller of this machine will find a buyer as well. BTW, you don't by chance have the 3 buffing/polishing attachments sitting around for the Centurion...

Bison didn't sell 327 hits on the Bison and it didn't sell. I suggested to the seller(s) they relist the vacuum again at $499.99 However, this time list it at the $499.99 minimum BIN (buy it now)asking price. As well as an optional best offer. The seller(s) are not oblegated to accept any...

Manicured nails? Happy to hear you got your nails manicured, did ya get the beard trimmed as well? As for any scratches etc on or in the chrome plating they should be able to be buffed out. I'm still researching the Bison vacuum companies history. Not a lot of information available or at least...

Just a thought to remove fan nut. This may or may not work, Spray the nut with a little DW40 let it sit over night. Using a rubber glove securely hold the fan in place so it doesn't turn. Use a socket wrench to remove the nut. Just a thought.

Paint for your Lux Hi Ricky, I Don't have a clue with regard to your motor issue asI've never pulled a Lux motor. However, I've had very good luck matching my Lux paint colors and repainting my machines using auto touch up spray paint.

Hey Jimmy I see you revised you listing information on the Bison confirming she powers up from purring to sounding like a jet. Yep, That's exactly how she should sound. No doubt in my mind she's runnin just fine. The Bison is indeed a VERY POWERFUL machine. Thanks for testing and confirming...

Hey jimmy I have a friend in Utah who owns vacuum shop. I get most of my vintage Kirby vacuum parts from Kent. I emailed Kent this morning regarding your vintage Kirby bag up at auction. He did take a look at the bag and hopefully he'll be in contact with you. Also told Kent about the Bison as...

Dan That's a bit of interesting trivia to know. In further research I also discovered that a guy by the name of Jim Keeler also worked for Bison Vacuum Company and invented a self propelled Bison vacuum cleaner in 1983 So, it appears there are 3 Bison models that were manufactured. The Green...

Dog? Jimmy, Something tells me Duane Chapman wasn't the type of individual who would go schlepping around door to door selling Bison vacuum cleaners. Like I said. I'm a factual, as opposed to a fictional make it up as I go along kinda guy. Must be that Raymond Burr attatude I acquired...

Rugsucker and your comment Jimmy, Let's get the facts straight with regard to your Bison and our email correspondense. First of all, It was I who availed you that I took the liberty of posting your Bison vacuum for sale information on the VCCC with the hope it would generate an interest among...
