Can't Wait! Hope to finally get a chance to meet you all there! I'm moving over from Down Under in the first or second week of March - and will finally have the opportunity to attend a convention!!! Hope there's some great fun to be had!

Aaaaaaaaah Maybe a good parts or donor machine though...? What was the asking price? It's not too often I see them come up for grabs around here...

HAHA! It's a sign Matt - you need to buy the one at Morayfield too (it's 5 minutes down the road from me if you want me to collect) and it's another colour to add to your new collection! That beige colour with the orange coloured cushion is the same as what I had. The one on ebay looks to be...

Hi Matt, I remember both of these cleaners clearly - however do you think I can find a pic of the first one you speak of?? Not a chance! However there was one listed on ebay a few weeks back! Massive blue whale of a thing it was! Very simple basic barrel cleaner with a cloth bag. I remember...

Hey local! I've owned one of these machines in the past - I have now donated it to another local Brisbane collector as I'm downsizing. Like you - I love them - they're quirky little beasts and oddly enough quite an agile little machine. I especially love the cord rewind mechanism and how it...

Great pics folks! Looks like you all had a great time! Please keep posting more pics if you have them!

Brace yourself Sean... The prices here will be staggering compared to the USA. I too live in Brisbane (well about 50kms north - but work in the city) and have done for 15 years... I must say that the 'vintage market' in Brisbane is rather ordinary (very much a disposable society here) and the...

No need to call a truce... And no hatchets to bury, I'm not about to hijack this thread under the excuse of being 'unique'... I just ask that you consider your method of 'helping'... I also can appreciate that you're doing your bit to help - and I respect that, however post after post after...

KirbyUltimateG Must we endure another tediously long thread of every link requiring a new post? Seriously - can't you just compile a list..? I'm not trying to sound 'smart' - but I'm sure we're all up to speed with 'google' - and are able to use the 'compare' tool most websites offer. I'm...

Hey Allen I LOVE this machine - would you like to email me the price you're looking for? I've always wanted one of these - but they were never sold in Australia... But when we relocate to the US in 2013 - this would be a beast to have in my new collection! [email protected] Cheers Steve

Model 735 is my ultimate electrolux! These were beautiful machines, quiet and very powerul, good strong powerhead and were virtually indestructable! The LED's were pretty cool and advanced for their time given they were the only machine I can recall with anything even remotely 'electronic' in...

Correct! It is completely in the way of adjusting the height control knob... Pain in the neck... Plus the little flap is spring loaded too!

Glad to see a smiling face back... I thoroughly enjoy your posts and your finds..!

Hey Sebo Fan No - oddly enough this lint catcher attachment is permanent?? Very strange I know! At first I thought I could just remove it and toss it in the trash - but it's quite solidly installed... I would possibly end up breaking it getting it off... Seems like such a waste - and it ruins...

Keep them coming! Love these scans!

Kirby Rep Seems to think that the Sentria II has a more powerful motor...?? I don't know how knowledgable she is - - maybe someone who has the II would like to share the specs on the manufacturers sticker..? Rob - she's not getting better. It's terminal. Why would you send it back for a...

Oh - I totally understand the purpose of the said silly hair catching strip (lint strip) - I just for the life of me can't understand why they'd even bother, given that it's an upright with a revolving brush. The extra strip is totally redundant... Given the amount of use Bruce will get Rob, I...

Overall though... For what it is - and the price bracket - it's not a bad machine... Our friend who sees these as purely an appliance will not be fussed either way - but I didn't really want to spend money on complete rubbish... I think the Bissell will serve it's purpose well - and also keep...

And then of course After a quick whip around the two dirtiest rugs in the house and not to mention that we've not vacuumed in probably two weeks... Lots of traffic from the doggies as well... Impressed... But not as impressive as the Kirby with the stiffer brush roll...!

Ratings Plate... Well fancy that - 'Made in China'... Anyone surprised??
