Start with super fine 000 steel wool, then Flitch polish. The buffing wheel of a Kirby Handi Butler on the flexible shaft works wonders,followed by some towels to wipe away any residual film.

Hello everyone. I just met a lady named Claudia with a 913 Hoover that needs a whole new bag assembly,a new bottom plate latch,and a belt.Her email is [email protected] .If anyone can sell her these parts,that would be great. Thanks alot. David

The Dual Sanitronic 50 is so nifty!

That's why it's called Dirt Devil! LOL

I've heard of SINGER vacuums, but now the Whistler? LOL

She wore them in quite a few I Love Lucys, one example is "Lucy does the Tango" .

off the beaten path Yes,the reason beater bars work with airlifted carpets is the carpet is lifted to the nozzle and the tap,release,tap,release action of the bars cause the carpet to flutter or vibrate from the several thousand RPM action of the bars. But on glued down carpets they act more...

Home ,home on the vacuum range Wonderful! Thanks for posting this! BTW,would you be so kind as to possibly post the instruction book under owners manual section? I saw one awhile back and that cover shot of little miss priss 1968 posing daintily from the distance as she admires that gleaming...

Beats! Shakes! Sweeps! Combs! Suction Cleans! A slightly used Hoover Convertible belt solves the brush-stop issues without undue motor-bearning stress. BTW, someone slid out the beater bars on that VG 1 and added an extra row of brushes I'd say. On today's glued down carpets,this arrangement is...

Before the Regina upright Steemer, the 1st actually to purchase for home use was the Regina System III, which was a canister with a power nozzle,in fact the same PN which was on some of their Electrik Brooms and also served as a huge extractor that looked suspiciously like a Rinse-n-Vac. This...

This GE was a 1959 ad. Lucy often wore Capris in I Love Lucy but Laura Petrie DID popularize them on The Dick Van Dyke Show which ran from 1961-1966.

The PN may need a new belt plus the suction could be bled off so as not to seal too close to that rug and slow the VG II down.

a Kirby Derby Brandon,thanks for the kind comments,glad u like it.If u have any other questions,feel free to call me.Dave

1958 was great I have a 518 Kirby all original, even the cord and bag though the cord is a little "frayed" in spots. Other then that ,the Kirby is in great shape,price negotiable.

I'm around I was filling in Royaler,you may have talked to Grumpy Lumpy,the repairman there who wants to hang on to everything. I'm actually on my way over there now. I will call you when there.

We go back to the 1950s,even have Constellation felt secondary filters,Sunbeam orange bags, Singer bags from the 70s, etc. Call if interested. Lots of Hoover metal fans for Convertibles also. Hoover parts are BIG around here but not pre WW II.

Hey gang,I've been filling in at a Milwaukee vacuum shop,noticing scads of very hard to find out of date parts as I clean. It's an Oreck shop that has for years and years carries lots of other things. Their number is 414-769-8787.

the nifty 50 Hands down,the Dual Sanitronic 50

Agreed! The Halo was tested and panned by Popular Mechanics recently!

BEAUTIFUL! Could you be so kind as to scan the instruction book? I know we'd all love it!
