I bought one last week!

You are such a generous person Charles! Anyone is truly blessed to have you as a friend, and you do absolutely gorgeous work. That should serve him very well for many many years to come.

You had it apart, did you have the motor out of it and disassembled by chance? The motor bracket if I remember is mounted with rubber spacers. Here are some photos of how the machine is supposed to look motor assembled into the housing. I do have access to parts if need be and can ship them.

Question is... considering the home was too small was the separator the same size?

Either that or... you could take a picture of a decal and bring it to a screen printer and have them create a few stick on decals.

Such a wonderful machine and an early one too, awesome score! Free is definitely a word that’s worth a lot and aids very well in ones impulses.

Oh you should! Redneck?! There’s absolutely nothing redneck about you! Your mattress burning neighbor though... that’s a different story! Hope you guys are enjoying your time at the convention!

I never knew they made such demo tools for the hoovrahs! Are you going to try them out this weekend?

I have wall to wall carpet in the upstairs portion of my house and oak flooring downstairs with area rugs in my main room of the house and the living room. I’m more of a wall to wall carpet person with the exception of dining rooms, kitchens and bathrooms. When it comes to the type of carpeting...

You did a great job cleaning that up! I have a soft spot for these machines as they are actually a really good deep cleaner. Great airflow, good auction, quite durable too and lasted a long time. Although the quality doesn’t seem that great, if they were treated with good care they held up...

I was cringing when she picked it up by the hose like that!

You can ask dysonman1 (Tom Gasko) or Greg Palmer about the perfect battery powered power head. I love mine and use it almost daily with my central vac. It’s a very rugged head based off the old L shaped electrolux heads. Another option for air driven is the Wessel Werk TK-286 turbine head, it’s...

You can try soaking the cord in hot water if it’s not cracked or split, I have done this on several occasions to soften up a stiff cord. As for the green stuff, most likely it’s the start of corrosion and you might be able to clean it up with some rubbing alcohol and a wire brush.

“Central vacuum rich” Are you insinuating that people with central vacs are rich? Many of us who have the luxury of a central vac aren’t rich however as collectors it’s a choice weather or not we want them. There are collectors who get them used, collectors who move into homes/apartments that...

If the spacers and washers are not put in correctly that will happen, also in the event that the hole in the fan is oblonged or chewed up in any shape form or fashion, consider the fan done. If you order the fans, and are willing to ship the motor, I’d be willing to do the repair in my shop the...

You would have to change the motor (obviously) and the cord, unless you want to just put on a US replacement plug, the switch should be fine.

Huebsch... In the earlier years they were a part of electrolux Sweden. Along with Frigidaire which is still owned by Electrolux home care products. It’s funny you mention Alliance, although Wascomat isn’t an alliance product when I worked in a laundromat during my teen years the Wascomat...

Ladies and gentleman! The reading room is now open! There are no books on the shelves but there are plenty of beads to be read!

Shared with me by a very good friend, written by our very own founder of the original V.C.C.C Bob (Alex) Taber! I have found this to be a very wonderful piece of reading material. I have heard that it circulated a few times in a couple of newsletters but this right here is a good “factual”...

Yes back when you and John Lucia founded the club, I remember when you told me the story when we spoke on the phone back in 2009. I don’t know if you remember the conversation but we were on the phone for about an hour and a half. You were telling me about the non electrics, I.e. Daisy...
