    Sanitronic Vlll and white cord

    That's is so awesome. I would say the reason its rare is because it was produced for one model for only one year. The 562 1962 but now that I see people have had then on VII and D-50 makes me scratch my head a little

    Dyson DC01

    That is interesting, I wonder where one would find a converter to use here and how expensive would that be. I don't like far from you.

    Oddball Sanitaire bagged Vacuum

    I think if this truly was new 5 or 6 years ago it would have the updated paper bag system and the new style handle with the switch in the handle and would have the name electrolux on it someplace. If they bought it new it must have been left over stock, which does happen a lot.

    Electrolux Model XXX Upgrade?

    I saw at the 2008 convention a man from New York took an XXX and modified it with a Miele motor and adapted a wessel werk power nozzle to it with an electric hose. It was really cool.

    Dial a Matic 1149 lives again.......but one lil problem.

    If the motor sounds fine then it's going to be doing what it's supposed to do. If it has very high pitched whine that unbearable then there's a good chance the fans are clogged but I doubt this is the issue. I bet you just have a seal problem somewhere. You might try getting some weather strip...

    hello anyone heard of these before vortech powerforce

    I just wonder why one could not take a hepa Kirby bag and cut to fit for their Compact or Vortech instead of buying the cheap paper bags. I will have to try this with mine.

    hello anyone heard of these before vortech powerforce

    Great vacuums! I've had many of these. Bags are hard to get. You will have to order them from the company in Canada I believe unless you can find a dealer still in the West Coast somewhere more Northern West. If you can't find bags then Compact bags will work however they don't seal as well and...

    Thrift Store Find of a Lifetime!

    Hans, You better put that hard bagged one on Ebay. If you search completed listing one sold for like $800 with bids. Not sure if it was a scam or not. Makes me sick as I had one in the late 90s that I threw away.
