Tom I am so glad you got your vacuums back, wishing you all the best for your new vacshop and museum

The R&D job was a blast miss it every day. Nowdays I own a vacshop and also build custom industrial set up vacuums systems

Hi Guys yep it must be blocked for me I cannot see it. Weird Bissell no longer sells vacuums here I googled Them They look awesome

clicked on the links but they dont work anymore

I have done a few. I used to work in R&D at Electrolux Here and one of my favorite parts of my job was building prototype machines and Test Mules often comprising of current models with new proposed parts added to run durability tests on them. One of the first machines i can remember modifying...

Hey Jake Here in South Africa the 500 series that were locally manufactured ( from midway through the 506 run ) were rebuild able, You can open them up remove the fans replace the bearings and so on But From what have heard this is not the case with any of the 500 or 600 models . The good...

I drive a 4door pickup with a cap and I would seriously find 5 vacuums in the loadbay a issue even if just using the thing for shopping. So my question is how big was your car :) :)

I owned a carpet cleaning business for years, Still part own it but no longer operate it. Still one of the few out here who runs a truck mount and I love the reaction people give when we clean carpets Its such labour intensive work, I seriously messed up my shoulders doing it but the most...

Thanks guys It was a bit of fun and I am considering doing another with another wreck I couldn't pass up on saving

I was wondering about someting else too. We own a carpet cleaning business and run truckmounts as well as portables. One of the biggest headaches with a truckmount been used with lots of hose is keeping the heat at the right temp due to the long hoses. heat drop can be a real problem when you go...

aaah I see you changed the Video in the first one, to the same as the second one. Here is the first one you posted showing what I was talking about

Have a look at the second video, all the carpet washing attachments are plastic which goes towards a domestic unit ( nothing wrong with it ) Now go and look at the first video, Look when they clean the boat , car , stair case Those are heavy duty professional hand tools used by trade, They cost...

MMM I have to wonder about how the vacuum pipes in the walls will begin to stink after a while, One other thing They show Boats and cars and furniture been cleaned but I doubt the upholstery tool is from this unit, It looks heavily commercial Like the type we use in the industry, It looks like...

John Long My world Just shook, I am feeling faint, a deep tremor has been felt coming from the core of the earth.... Their are Kirby's ( the vacuum of satan (jokes guys ) ) in the Kingdom of HOOVER!!!!!!!!!! DAM... ( all puns intended)

For those of us that restore This would always be a interesting thread. If you restore vintage cars their is so much info on what to do and how, Vacuums Not so much. On the durability, I used the plasti DIP IE as in the one used to rubber coat the handles of tools, Its actually really robust...

This is very interesting. I made a furniture gaurd for a much newer machine as the bumpers are always broken when I get them and parts are not available any more.. I used plastidip ( latex based ) to make my bumper and it looked just like the original and it was fairly cheap

a few hours later

I sand them smooth with 400 -600 gritt water paper. Then machine buff with a none stiched buffing wheel at about 800rpm, You have to move fast or you can burn the surface. I use various buffing soaps and end with a buffing creame All polishes have abrasives in the, Thats how they polish (...

Hey Guys so sorry it is a 1224 My Dyslexia strikes again
