    Kirby Omega oddity

    That's very odd indeed....... It almost looks like the rear wheels from a Royal that has been fitted to the Kirby. I've never seen anything like that before!

    Best Guess?

    That's an early form of exercise equipment! Not only will you have a clean floor, BOTH of your arms will get the workout of a lifetime! On the other hand, that could also be considered a primitive torture device, I suppose it all depended on who you asked!!! LOL! Honestly, I've never seen...

    KMart vacuums ???? ????

    KMart They just recently closed the big one in Lexington KY which was the last close one to me. I'm not sure how much longer KMart (or Sears for that matter) are going to survive!

    Nice Electrolux XXX......

    And some harder to find pieces, such as the plastic/fiberglass tool caddy......but that price is absolutely out of this realm of sanity!! http://https//www.ebay.com/itm/132271176843

    CRT tvs

    Aiden I personally LOVE the old CRT televisions. I have several flat screens in my home as well, but there's something about the draw of an old CRT TV that brings me right back to them. In my living room, I have a vintage RCA 25" floor model Console TV that we have hooked up to our Wii U and...

    What does the general public notice - take a guess

    Guessing....... The Hoover. Now, ask me why I say that? I too work for a University, and I have SEVERAL vacuum cleaners in my office, both of my prized Electrolux Commemorative Editions, a beautiful example of a Model XXX (30), a Eureka 1934B, and a Hoover 543. Out of every machine I have in...

    Electrolux 1205

    1205 Keith, This is a perfect example of the high quality engineering that Electrolux put into their vacuum cleaners. I have owned several of these 1205's and a couple of the 1205 Golden Jubilee models! I tore down and completely rebuilt one of these 1205's for a co-worker and they are so...

    Electrolux 1401-B Olympia 1

    Keith My name is Steve, and Electrolux vacuums are my primary collecting item. I will go for others if they strike my fancy, but I have several hundred vacuum cleaners and I'd say 80% are Electrolux. I LOVE the 1401-B Olympia One because that's what I grew up with. My mom had one from the...

    Electrolux 1401-B Olympia 1

    I ordered a Sirena

    Sirena Mike, I can't speak for the Sirena, as I don't own one of them, but as someone who owns a new(ish) model Rainbow (with the lighted basin), when running it in the low speed setting to purify the air, I typically have to add water to the basin almost every day. It's amazing how well they...

    Perfect PowerTeam Model C101

    Perfect C101 I have one as well, and I love how stupidly powerful that thing is! I have been told that over time, the hose that came with the vacuum will fall apart and not last as long as an Aerus/Electrolux vinyl hose, so I put an E-lux hose on mine. My perfect power nozzle seems to dig...

    My Kirby 518 restoration! Lot's of pictures!

    That Kirby is absolutely........ STUNNING! That is an amazing transformation. I know it's not original, but personally I like the new bag on it......to me it just sets the entire vacuum off.....all that shined up metal mixed with the red and black trim......that's a machine that I would...

    Kirby Golden Tradition

    Just found this on Craigslist! Not mine, and I don't know the seller; but they claim it's never been used, just turned on from time to time to make sure it's still working. I have no idea just how collectible these machines are, nor if his asking price is in the proper range or not (to me it...

    eBay's OUTRAGEOUS fees!

    eBay Charles, I have all but stopped using "cheatBay" to sell (and many times buy) items. Shipping prices are outrageous these days, and the fees being charged to the seller are stupidly high. My wife "sold" a camera on eBay some time ago and the buyer turned out to be a sham and didn't pay...

    Electrolux Model 1521

    Keith I am real bad at getting those confused with the Legacy series as well, as they do appear to be VERY similar in color. I have one of the sand colored Marquis models myself and while it's a great running machine, I find I don't use it very often! Most of the time, I catch myself reaching...

    New Collector Ready to Pay $$$...

    Hoover Model 26 I have no idea who this seller is, but I saw this one the other day on eBay, might be worth looking into: http://www.ebay.com/itm/THE-HOOVER-CLEANER-MODEL-26-EXCELLENT-CONDITION-RUNS-BEAUTIFULLY-/162540768737?hash=item25d82f4de1:g:7OEAAOSwurZZHk0V

    Aerus Electrolux Grand Marquis carbon brush question

    Adin I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for or not, and the seller's description is rather vague. They do mention these brushes will fit a Diamond Edition. The Diamond Jubilee and the Marquis/Grand Marquis are all model 1521 so I would think it should fit any of those motors. I'm...

    Has anyone seen or used this?

    Nope Can't say I've ever heard of that one. I bet it's a screamer though with that 1200 watt motor!

    The end of Eureka?

    Mpbyrd For now, the 1934b is still showing as available to purchase on Eureka's website. I don't know if that will be the case in the future, but they're reasonably priced enough, it wouldn't hurt to buy one or two of them just to have as a backup machine! I really like my 1934b as well. In...
