There was a yellow one, I found the now deleted listing on mp. I forgot to save the whole pic but this is the front. This was in Finland but idk if it was sold elsewhere.
I recently paid a visit to Mid Missouri Vacuum. I never thought I'd get to own a cleaner from Stan Kann, especially not two(the other being a Sturtevant 15).
Some of you might remember, years ago I posted on here about my first Torrington, also a C. The back wheel was mostly missing from rust...
The beautiful, bulbous Morrow courtesy of Mr Tom Gasko(thank you!). It didn't need much, a piece of plastic to hold the motor plug down, a cord hook, some grease, a minor polish, and a grommet.
Very powerful machine!! And bag graphics to die for.
Going by the ads, I just picked up and redid the 1936-37 Kenmore Challenger, though it says Standard in very small letters on the front plate. Very quiet running machine with a like new brushroll.
The OG Bissell ones like in the first pic are SO big and heavy. It is a workout to use.
The Shark lift offs, at least the older ones, are a bit clunky with the way they lift off, I hear they improved it with later models though I haven't tried them myself.
I have been wondering about this...
Haven't done a sweeper resto in a hot minute!
Quite awhile ago I found this on eBay for very cheap. Somewhere on here is the thread about the listing. The pic I took of the before really does not give justice to how rusty this was! Several of the screw heads had turned into rust lumps and the...
I do not have a pic, but years ago on ebay the empty shell of one came up.

This is a 1919 Regina model M, with a replaced bag that I owned for a short time. While it appears to have a few changes to the Imperial, handle being a main one along with nozzle width, they appear very similar.
Marvin Barcz on YouTube tore one of these apart. Super simple unrefined machines, made in Vilnius Lithuania. Made in a handful of colors for I think about a decade.
Eureka Special(model B) made from Feb 1929-Feb 1934 as a budget model. There were just over 15000 made. Some had a yellow handle. The original bag is gone, but it would have been tan with the older classic Eureka script. It is inspired off a model 9, but the only reused casting piece is the...
Thank you SynViks. I think this made my year.
Still a couple small things I need to fix, one of which I need to likely 3d print a head for it. Stuck a Eureka Junior head on for now.
Interestingly this uses the same GE type SDA motor as a Torrington B. Literally the exact same, even the steel...
Oh gotcha.
The brass screws hold one white wire each. The steel screw holds both black wires, since they are not affected by the switch. Just a way to make rewiring easier - no soldering.
