    A pair of Hoover 918s

          <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: medium;">I have two Hoover 918s that I am going to put together to get one good one. One is cosmetically nicer than the other one, but has a shot motor. The other one has a good motor but is all scratched and dinged up. As...

    Speaking of Kirby Dual Sanitronic 80s

          <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: medium;">Here's a beautiful D80 on eBay. The shipping is high but the seller did say he just estimated it and would work on getting the price down. I'd love to have this myself because it's so nice and 100% complete, even...

    Noob questions, I am confused.

          <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: medium;">Hmmmmmm... Kirby seems to have "reinvented" its anniversary date a few times. The Model 516 -- "the first totally new, dramatically redesigned Kirby in over 20 years!" -- was introduced in 1956 and was called the...

    Noob questions, I am confused.

          <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: medium;">While the Sanitronic VII is basically the same machine as the 560, 561 and 562, it would not be considered part of the 500 series, just as the C and R series machines that preceded the 500 series are also the same...

    Electrolux Model R on eBay

          <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: medium;">Since I like the Electrolux "budget" models, the Model R has always been a favorite. I was verrrrry tempted by this one on eBay. Overall, it's in really nice condition, especially the hose.</span>   <span...

    Favorite PN????

    <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: medium;">Well, I am kinda "on the same page" with my Mama regarding power nozzles. When she got her new Electrolux tan G in 1968, I was grumbling that she didn't get the power nozzle. She said, "I don't want to be dragging two motors...

    Interstate attachments

          "The tools will work with all of them."     <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: medium;">Not sure that's the case -- don't some of the Compacts have button-locks on the ends of the wands? If the attachment doesn't have the hole for the button to pop into...

    Re built model 89 Electrolux..

          <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: medium;">I don't know about the 88 and 89 being "better looking than their American counterparts -- "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" and all that sort of thing. But I will say, they're amazingly quiet, powerful, and very...
