634 The 634 was a department store model. It was also known as a, "Promotional Model". At the same time the model 63 was still being door to door. At or around this time frame, (1954), Hoover department store displays became envogue with the full product line. Shortly after, Hoover...

vacerator..... You are spot on about Grizelda. "Desperate Living", is probably my favorite John Waters film. I like them all but some of those scenes are just wonderful! I've been to a few places that have reminded me of Mortville and met some people that seemed like they stepped out of the...

I recently acquired the Legacy version of that vac and really like it. I have the matching Legacy canister that matches. The colors are great. I replaced a few parts on the upright and think it is a very good cleaner. The tools are also handy--it is amazing how far Lux has come along with...

I am hoping one of the viewers on this site can help me with some information. What can anyone tell me about the pictured Apex? Year made, how good a vacuum, very many around, reliability, etc. I am trying to help a friend with this. My knowledge of Apex is fairly limited and my interest in...

In the February issue of the VTDA, (Vacuum Dealers Trade Association), magazine, Tom Gasko, curator of the Tacony Vacuum Museum, has a great article about the 1936 Air-Way Super Chief. As a former owner of one, I found the piece very interesting as there is limited information about these...

The seller.......... is a former member of the VCCC and has always had beautiful machines. I have no reason to doubt his description based on what I know of him and having visited him on numerous occasions. I'm sure if contacted he will answer any questions.

WOW! Really nice! Looks like it just arrived new from the factory.

Rick, That video was made before the VCCC found you or you found the VCCC! I should add that five former VCCC presidents can be seen in it. Hope you had a great birthday...............let's see, are you up to 39 or 40 now?

Colby, I just looked over my 1693 and see exactly what you are talking about. I mistakenly said I liked the 1684 but it was, indeed, the 1693 that I was referring too. It is on my Ultralux. IMHO, the Ultralux teamed with the 1683 P/N was the best Lux since the Silverado/Olympia family. I...

Just so everyone knows, a video company did the transfer of the pictures to the DVD and added the music I requested. This was all done in 2004 so the discs were available for the members at the 2004 convention. Hans, we all looked quite different! But better now don't you think?

In the season of giving, I found this DVD from 2004 that was available to members at the 2004 convention. I burned it to my computer, then uploaded to YouTube and pasted the link here. It is apporox. 25 minutes long. It is a collection of photos of vacuums and members from four different...

Ronni............... A couple things went through my mind in reading your last post. It is interesting to note that Lux changed from metal rug guards to plastic. Perhaps a cost cutting thing? I have seen many P/N's on ebay selling with machines, (upright & canisters), with missing metal or...

Thank you Ronni, Andy and Colby. The above responses have pretty much cleared up my questions. Let me ask further: It is my assumption that the 4000 came with the, "onboard", non-electric hose, but, an electrified one as an option could be attached with the plug going into a port on the back...

Does anyone know if the Electrolux 4000 took an electrified hose utilizing the Sidekick and other attachments or was it straight suction only? When did Electrolux start using a electrified hose on their uprights? I know it was for straight suction in the beginning so what model was the first...

I would keep.......... my Hoover 150 cleaning ensemble, (tools and hose), and my Air-Way twin motor Chief. Both are old but still operate perfectly and will out clean many of todays modern vacuums. The Air-Way Chief even has a wood pulp cellulose disposable bag with filtration that is very...

Charles Mine is exactly as what you have pictured. And, I am almost positive that is the way they came from the factory.

This came to me from my brother's estate. It took three years for things to be settled, (an unexpected death), and for certain items to be removed from the house. The Sentria appears to be seldom used. The tools/hose look like they were used for the demo only. The rug shampooer is still new...

Thank you............ Tyler and others for your kind comments. Tyler, I am glad you are happy with this vacuum. I discussed it with Dan and he said he thought it would be something you would like. I hope to meet you sometime since we are nearby. Tom, I am also glad the bags found a new home...

CoffeeCanMan, How does one contact you? I would like to speak with you privately. I tried going through ebay but their mail system does not allow the exchanging of email addresses. Please advise when you have the opportunity or email me at [email protected] Thanks, Charlie

Tom....... What is the difference between the Volt and CX1000 made by Hide-A-Hose which is part of Tacony? Maybe they are the same thing under different names? The features are nearly identical to the Volt as you described in another thread and in your article in the new VDTA News magazine...
