To far gone? Is this the piece that is not contacting? Can it be fixed or replaced or just have to live with duct tape on it? There is still one problem, no suction at all from the hose. It could be blocked. Any ideas how to clean out a hose? If it was a straight hose I would put a butter knife...

Too far gone? I plugged the vacuum in again and tried it, nothing. The idea of the something not contacting seemed like the problem. I sat the Lux and it's butt, pushed down on the top and tried again. IT WORKS! And really quiet!

Too far gone? I started playing with the Lux again this morning. I tried out the powerhead. I never knew vacuums were so interchangeable. It worked just fine hooked up to the Kenmore. I like it, it is really quiet.

One more shot. Dave you are more than welcome to the Ambassador. You just give me your big brown Hoover and we will call it even. I am not going to give up yet. I want to hear this thing roar.

Thank you Dave for your help. I took all the duct tape off and it wasn't sticky at all. The tape must be really fresh or really old. Just some bulges.

Too far gone? The bottom. Should I just toss it? I have never used a Lux and was pretty excited. I like how easy it is to carry. I like the L shaped powerhead too.

Too far gone? Should have known, It has a brand new empty bag in it. If it still worked it would have been full!

Too far gone? Is there a piece missing from joining the 2 tubes?, I can't get them to go together.

To far gone? back end

Too far gone? I plugged it in and turn it on, nothing.

A couple of towns over had the paw thru your neighbours trash day. I saw the hose first, then the vacuum, I must admit I was kinda excited till I got it home and took a closer look.

What are those silver cocktail shaker like things for?

Looks pretty close. Same shape, different pattern on the bag and a few more graphics. This pic came from the Sears fall and winter 1985.

I never knew the fill tube on a Hoover was so big. It looks like a piece of pvc pipe for a drain or a swimming pool.It is almost the size of a Kirby fill tube. I think I will take it to the vacuum shop. It is just way too noisy to use. The fan looks ok, no chunks or cracks in it. Is there...

Today's find All cleaned up.Mr Clean erasers are amazing at removing old scuffs and paint.The belt fits, brushroll turns, smells better and is still REALLY noisey. Do I need to oil something somewhere? Picks up dirt, just might be deaf when your done. Too bad the scratches are so deep. No...

Today's find The brushroll looks pretty new.One problem, the height adjuster dosen't work. You have to grab the back wheels and pull down, then move the leaver.Works fine going back. How hard is that to fix? Will a shot of WD40 work?

Today's find Yes, it came with a bag of dirt, not filled to the brim, dosen't really smell either. Can the outer bag be washed?

Today's find Is this the way the bag should look? Does it look like it has been mended or melted?

Today's find When I first plugged it in, it was really noisey,grindy and made a banging sound.There was a cracked, very stretched out belt and a paperclip twisted around the post. Lots of really fine hair that took half an hour and a steak knife to get out.

I was in Newmarket and stopped in at Value Village. I have stopped going there because they have become so over priced. Something did catch my eye and at $5.99, it was too good of a deal to pass up.
