I remember those being available when I was a kid and I'm old! I want to say early 60's? One giveaway is the address for Tuckahoe does not show a zip code. Zip codes started in 1963.

The same can happen with an Oreck XL21..maybe I should make a video!

Filigree? I have that model as well, nice machine, and you did a good job cleaning it up! I think it was the collector I received it from that told me the design on the bag was called fleur-de-lis. French I suppose..lol. Pronounced fler-de-lee. Not nit picking here, just passing some info...

Craigslist Orecks? Did you go look at the ones in your other post that were 50.00 a piece? That's a very reasonable price for an Oreck. I know when I flip an Oreck, it's in top notch shape and don't sell for less that 75.00, more than that if it's an XL21.

Classic Jr. A few years ago I had an extra 516 and I decided to turn it into a Classic Jr. At that time I was able to get the newer wider Wheels and the bumper trim and the belt lifter in a nice brown color. I took it out to my friend's vacuum shop and they buffed it out and went all through...

I would go with the black one in front, could be the newest of the lot. That's a two-speed Ultra, low for bare floors, high for carpet. If you go to see them in person, check the brushroll, inside of the cloth bag, and cord for any issues. Orecks have always had a niche for people who appreciate...

This was so cute I had to share it! I gave a girl friend of mine from work an Olympia one because she didn't own a canister vacuum, and she absolutely loves it. She doesn't know how she did without one. Her youngest daughter Jersey absolutely loves it too. She's become a little vacuum Maiden!

That's a sporty looking vacuum! I have the brandywine Eureka version, wanna trade? Just kidding, that one's just too special!

I didn't even notice that Phillip...Mom's didn't have that. That's a helluva place for a power nozzle receptacle, maybe after market? Her cord setup wasn't that way either...hmmm.

I had that model at one time and still think it's the most attractive FQ in their history, but that's just me. Like my Princess III, only use it for bare floors/above floor cleaning. That chrome power head is beautiful to look at, but is really lackluster on performance, like most FQ power...

I saw this and should be in the hands of a collector. These are great little machines, and it's complete. I would re-do the cord setup, mine wasn't like that. I bought one of these used for my Mom and she loved it, and bags/filters are still available. I don't know or am I affiliated with the...

I like the one in the second pic, to me it looks less generic than the black one. It' s a design and color thing I guess. I'd have to feel the brushes in person to make a final decision though.

I have had one of those for a few years, I think another collector gave it to me. I haven't fired it up for a long time, but remember it being a decent performer similar to an Oreck. I remember trying unsuccessfully to find bags for it, but a Kenmore canister bag 5055 I believe fits it, that's...

Meh... Eureka has put out so many duds in the last decade, I have to look at it as just another bagless plasti-vac, however I did have a Shark Powered Lift-a-Way for a short time, and while I liked it ok, I was finding too much carpet fiber in the container, so, back it went. Once again, no...

I too have that same model, very user friendly, just with they'd thrown on a cordwinder! That's a long assed cord to wrap around a halo!

Wow... I can think of many other things I'd spend $569.00 on...geez. Another overpriced Oreck product, thanks TTI! Honestly, I don't know how the Oreck brand is surviving, I've seen no advertisement for the brand in years now. St. Louis has gone from seven stores, to three, and I think selling...

That's what I thought Jimmy, maybe they badged them for the Glamorene rental machines?

Looks like everyone had a good time! Kenny's a great host, I really enjoyed it when the convention had it's luncheon there. Maverick gets increasingly adorable with every pic! I hope I get a chance to hold him before he's old enough to run away!

Really? I'd love to know the back story on this. http://https//www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-New-Kirby-510-With-Attachments-Box-and-New-Sweet-Aire-NIB/323112839432?hash=item4b3b06a908:g:QmQAAOSwO8pami~h

I may be mistaken, but I believe that was manufactured by Wagner and branded with the Hoover name. I kind of remember it being a big deal to have a height adjustable carpet sweeper at the time. As soon as I saw it, that came to my mind, which works in mysterious ways.
