Shop Vac to the rescue of many folks in similar situations. Too bad about your washer but I am sure it is repairable. I wonder what will happen now that Shop Vac is no more... Morgan

I am not a fan of central vacuums but I see the value in them for some folks. I personally think the hose being so long is cumbersome at best to use. Air flow is fantastic. I don't like them when used with a turbo units as the powerhead. An electric powerhead cleans much better in my...

That was one of our best conventions! The tour of the factory and museum was a highlight for me. I believe it was for the 100th anniversary. Tom and Heather were such gracious hosts that year. Tom's collection was a thrill in and of itself. I loved the Hoover washing machines. I believe...

Is that a wooden brush roll, if so moisture could have caused it. I have seen Lux brush rolls that warped due to being stored in damp places. Just a thought. Morgan

Thanks for all your hard work on the newsletter John. Until you have done one, you truly have no idea how much work it is. All I did when I was president was print and mail it and that in of itself is a ton of work. Hopefully you have resources to take care of postage. We have a company here...

Awesome Photo's Thanks everyone for sharing!

Amazing restoration. Never seen a vacuum like that. Does it have good airflow? Morgan

Sure wish I could attend. Covid numbers are going up here and now that masks on planes are not required, I won't be flying anywhere. Now we are short staffed at work again so getting any time off is almost impossible. I have 520 hours to use and have not been earning the benefit....covid...

I think this a great topic! Thanks for sharing. Back in the day of good machines I can think of several items. Electrolux had their high end machine such as the 1205 but then they had the model L to be the cheaper version. Which came with the basic items at a lower cost, yet cleaned every...

The Airway ad for the Model 66 shows the wands being placed in the blower end of the machine sitting on a small table to reach the freezer compartment. Best way to defrost a freezer back in the day.

John I wish I could attend, but I am still Covid shy and try not to leave my little bubble. Right now Iowa is in one of the safe low categories, no thanks to our idiot governor, Covid Kim. Our local city officials handled Covid so much better. Although I am fully vaccinated, traveling just...

When I worked as a student in the custodial department at school, we had Royal commercial uprights and I must say they picked up a lot of salt. One of the staff got promoted to head custodian and he made the change to all Hoovers. We kept the Royals back because we knew the Hoover's were not...

Happy Birthday and special Thanks to John and Alex for getting this group started. As John has mentioned many friendships have been formed. I miss the conventions and the excitement of seeing everyone's collections. There have been many great people that have led this group to different...

I am not sure if that part comes off or not. I know I changed one out for a friend and didn't even think of the color..

I use one in mine all the time. It certainly won't hurt the machine.

Awesome restoration! Thanks for sharing.

Is it a quiet machine?

Sears and Montgomery Wards were our go to stores back in the day. Sears went downhill once they started offering all brands. When they stayed with the Kenmore brand things were much better. I know the Kenmore brand was other brands with their name, but they were also upgraded products...

I love the new Black with RED/BLUE accents on Kirby.
