i agree luxlife, why is this in the vintage section?

safety switch bypass that person who owned it might have requested the switch bypassed, I did that on one of my Traditions , intentionally.not worried one iota of 'extra wear' on the brushes....i'm a collector....and it'll never be used as a daily anyway.

Decided to make my own extended length hose for the stairs and car cleaning. I didn’t want it bad enough to buy it from Kirby for $70ish, so my kirby technician friend orders raw tubing (40-50 feet) and we made three of them out of it. Just forcibly I unscrewed the ends from donor hoses , heated...

I"m diggin' your Eureka and the restoring efforts!!!

thanks thanks dysonman1 and gottahaveahoove, I"m-a-learnin'!!!

"They may feel free to stay home. " haha. like your cleverly worded way there!! @sanitairewill. I WISH I could get my wife to do that!! haha. ALL the vacuuming is left up to me ( of course, I'm into that so I don't mind anyway). :-P

I bought and put together, after some help from someone here, made my Hoover model 61 work nicely . Then the cord took a dive into 'aged oblivion'.....I haven't been able to find a replacement yet, but have some ideas for a newer replacement. My question now is, I saw a Hoover 28 for...

when you described the Power Cast as 'a beast', does that mean it was just heavy or cumbersome? Also, how loud is this vacuum? I really want one of these....LOVE the looks....the Art Deco styling. Found one new in box but too $$ and shipping high K

rugpiledial yes, the sani-emptor was basically the same from 1953-1969 minus the sweet tire knob/opening

old cord blues Phaeton, thanks for the lead there! I'll wait first...in hopes that someone has one they don't need/aren't using....as I'd prefer more original....but I see where I can go now if thats not possible. K

Does anyone have a Hoover 60/61 cord they'd get rid of? My model 61 is the only Hoover I have and it is all cracked up.... It just shorted out and is unusable now ( after a 75% restoration effort. I suppose I can use any 3 wire cord worse case Thanks

I honestly saw all of them myself. I must admit though, before 2019, I had never seen any.. In person ... Then several!

super rare? hmmm no so sure of that, not common for sure, I have one, there's another one at the local vac store, and just saw another one last week at a resell store.

haha, that cracked me up weltron.....but I'm right there with ya :-)

My old time kirby tech informed me thatKirby may have had the regular spring earlier on in production, but they started using a rubber belt...that would often fail so the fix was the metal strap/clamp

transitioned yesterday Rainbow E2 Black put into use. satisfying seeing what was extracted from carpet/bed/pillows haha

John, I USUALLY don't put everything away for a good while....this year was different. You're kind! btw, would you have any idea who might have a vintage outer bag for my hoover model 60 since mine is torn? Texaskirbyguy oh, no sir, this one is my 'gone through' one, its possibly my...

good newsletter!!! Thank you for all the work put into the Christmas edition of the newsletter! Love the vivid colors and nice paper used. Love the classic photos/ads/images used and for future use! It seems we all here, are into 'retro' so I find using images from the past quite 'fitting' for...

What did you pull out to clean up after christmas celebrations or putting away all the decorations? I had been using my Miele U1 the week before, so the Legend II from Kirby got its turn. cheers!
