I would like to find... Yes I am great fan of Tri-Star and Compacts. I do have quite a few in my colleciton. The one I do not have and not sure of the model number but someday I would love to have one is the orange one with the clear speckled attachments. Those are so cool to me. It is silly...

Well this is what I have done.... I have done the same as you gentlemen where I washed the bag and lost some of the logo. Well, I did this, I went to Walmart and bought fabric paint that would match the colors I needed. Than I sat down and repainted to logo back on. I will have to say what I...

OMG..this is so cool No, sadly I do not have one, but the other day watching TCM. There was a short black and white movie about some rich family, having issues. The maid in the movie was Lucielle Ball and she was using this particular GE. How cool was that? I had one at one time that was very...

Hello James... I know we have never talked before but I am curious about something. Kirby was made in England as well? Or did they ship it over from the US? If not then how do you run your machines? I am sorry for being so inquizitive but I have been thinking about this and wondering how this...

How funny.... Yes I do remember that very well...My ex-wife and I were on our honeymoon. It was a pretty cool ride...Wasn't the colors red and black on the vacuum?

This is one of my favorite vacuums. It was also one of the first of my collection. This is also the vacuum that I wrote to GE several years ago and they did send me the owners book on it. I wish now I had a few more GE uprights since they are my favorite. I do have several in my collection, but...

Hey Tom... Do they still make the Vita-Vac? I still have the one I told you about. How long have they made that vac? I don't remember you telling me the history. David

colovacman.... We have a industrial cleaning supply here in Denver that sells this machine as well as the bags and so on. It is located on Sante Fe. I had to go there to get bags for my Windsor, house hold edition which was brown instead of blue. It was a great machine I did love it. I bought...

Tom... Bless you Tom and thank you so much. I will bring the machine in box when we meet. David

That is cool Charles Richard.. I to have that machine as well in its original box with out that particular attachment. The box is kind of cool it is black and a stiffer style of cardboard. I have also the book with it and the sales slip. The woman got the hand vac and Eureka upright to match...

I believe I have four.... Well of different models. I have two maroon baged ones. The pleated bag was my grandmothers and still runs great and then I have a none pleasted one. The other two are the tan and tan color but I think they are from the 1950's I think. I am not sure of the other two...

That is what I thought as well Rexairman is right, that is what I thought it was the head light switch. Owning this model myself.

I went back to a thrift store Saturday to see if a hose was still there. It was a very short green cloth covered hose with rubber ends I figured it had to have gone to a hand vac. It looked familiar but I could not quite place it. Sure enough it was still there but had moved into another...

I was looking for one as well.... Not sure if you have two but I need one as well. My hood on my 28 has broken right where the screws go in on the front.Let me know... David

I also love to tell this story.... This was published in a VCCC newsletter several years ago. I was walking through a antique show in a huge auditorium in Omaha, when I lived there. In a particular booth I see on one of the tables, a glass moth crystalizer for a GE or Premier.I do not...

The only book that I have... I hope my memory serves me correct. Alex T. had a lady ask him once when she was writing a book on Household Appliances. The paper back book has a sectoin on vacuums and supposedly their value. The reason I love the book is a picture of a 1940's model Universal...

I agree... I have an elecrolux (Alex T.'s favorite model) that was used to clean out a kitty litter box. Whhheeewwww!!!! I have had the machine now 5 years and have tried all kinds of things, perfumes, Popuri oils on cottenballs and so on. Yes those work great but the when the machine warms up...

Wow that is cool to see.. I was just telling CompactC9 about this machine. My smalltown High School in Nebraska had these machines to clean with. Yes the Mighty-Maid was also made in Germany. I knew this cause one of our male custodians would work on them if they broke down, and he would have...
