the auction is at $21 currently , plus tax....I really wouldn't want to go higher if I was even going to get these....that Riccar has seems some use sheesh!!!!

I"m looking at an estate sale....found these...wondering how 'good' these might be since I don't know the brand/models well. Is that Riccar 500 one worth much? Is it a low level model? Hoover : thought it was a hard floor cleaner....but I see bags in the back of it....or are those likely for...

human, thats surprising to hear about the lackluster performance you described....for your FQ. It was poor compared to the Electrolux? I ask b/c I've been amazed at what mine has picked up (70th anniversary model) AND I can clean out the filter with compressed air for longer use of that...

I might be interested too

so good to hear Caligula!!!

helpful info from all of you, thanks a bunch

Jeff, that helps a lot, I appreciate it

So I try and use more modern hepa type bags if possible on my metal Royal uprights …or Hoover 63/29 as wel as old kirbys, Tristar copies, & Royal canisters (type j). Can these be used for any of those applications ? This is more to those collectors who modify their machines to use newer type bags.

So I see the width differnce btwn the two . Weren’t they developed for the same machine? Would the type C bag ever be used with old Royal uprights ? With older Hoover model 61/63/29? I don’t hav Randy eureka machines….wondering if I need these for my model 63/29 or royals?

ditto for me too bikerray. they work great, even reuse them ( blow them out with compressed air) several times

That makes sense kloveland BTW I will gladly scan them if they were sent to me to do so. I only joined 3 years ago so I don't have much to do that. It really is a good idea to archive all that work from the past AND be able to enjoy them still.

thanks for the info Jim

looks awesome.....as is your usual!!!!! I still haven't executed that idea yet from when you showed me it early last year when I came down to Pueblo for a visit. Shame on me!! haha your pics are encouraging me

wow, wouldn't it be tremendous....if a few of you who have old back issues such as the ones mentioned above....if you each scanned them into a digital format....and then shared them here? I don't have any or I would.....many of us would enjoy the information/pictures from the past!!!!

I was guessing it is a 2019ish model based some photos of others’ patriots. Maybe it’s not?

I can’t believe I night another canister vacuum! I’m more of an upright fan…truly, yet I own -2 Rainbows -2 Royal Powerteams -1 Electrolux G series -2 Filter Queens -1 Mighty Mite -1 Miele. ( problematic) Well, after not buying a vacuum in about 2 years other than My special find suedo dream...

thanks Ben great ideas and I agree TExaskirbyguy

@kloveland. from my experience with Rainbows, the clogging of the filters are mostly from people not changing them over time...and vacuuming up stuff that it wasn't designed to...but more than that last point, I noticed NOT changing the water often enough contributes to the dirt/dust NOT being...

good grab on that Diamond edition. That D50 is one of my favs too b/c of the lighted 'kirby' emblem on the hood....get it if you can!

great information Ben (KirbyclassicIII)!!!!! is there a way I can save this info from the site other than copying each page you posted??
