Hey Paul, while on the subject of grammer,,,when ending a sentence with a quotation, do the quotation marks go before or after the period, question mark or exclamation point?,,, Whichever the case may be. Just curious, thanks.

Brad845, Good luck with your Golden J,,my Grandparents had one too,,its now in my collection. BTW, not to change the subject, but isnt Harlan Kentucky where back in the early 1970s there was a big problem and strikes with the coal mines,owners and workers? Some people were even shot and killed...

Looks like a good time was had by all!,,,but then when Tom Gasko is the host,,your sure to have a good time! Thanks for posting the pics!

Yes,l all of it is collectable, and worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. Of all the accessories you have the cord is the most collectable. Hang onto that definatly. I would think you could get good money for the cord alone. IF the machine itself is still in fairly good condition, you...

I remember our local Holiday Inn back in the 70s used these exact Eureka's. They were on the maid's cart.

Have a great time you guys,,take lots of pics and keep us up to date!

I had heard that these vacs do have awsome suction, and were very popular in the early to mid 1970s However, filtration wasnt the best, and they were known to blow alot of dust around. This could maybe be remedied with retrofitting somehow im assuming. The one big problem now days too is that...

Oh, thank you, i didnt realize.

I have a beautiful factory Rebuilt Dual Sanitronic 50 for sale. It is in pristene brand new condition,shines like a new mirror, and hardly used at all since the Factory rebuild. It does have the original brown bag (new with the rebuild) with the Kirby logo ovals. The handle bale and grip is...

KirbyBag, if you are a Kirby guy, from Topeka, KS,,,you must be well aquainted with Rusty at Topeka Vacuum on KS Avenue? If not,,stop in and see him,,,he is has all the good stuff!

Keep an eye on E-Bay. Also if there are any older vac stores in your area, check there,,,they may have a box of older attachments laying around in the back room.

Smow69, please tell about sending the Rainbow in for servicing,, You sent it into the factory im assuming or no? Or where did you send it? What is the cost involved in doing that? DO they have a rebulding program like Kirby or no? Do they do all models or just specific ones? Do you have to show...

Kevin, no the Golden J is the 50th Anniversary Model Electrolux. Golden meaning 50 year annivesary,, the same as in marriage. The 50th wedding anniversary of a married couple is the GOLDEN one. The J in Golden J model Electrolux stands for JUBILEE,,meaning celebration. So, the Golden J is...

I know what you mean Ben. My Grandma had a DS50 when i was little,and growing up,,,BUT SHE did NOT have a fondness for it, at ALL! To her, a vacuum cleaner meant WORK,,,and my Grandma was one of those woman who would rather be visiting friends or family,,and doing what she could for them,,or...

Back in around 1977, 78 in People magazine there are pics and an article of Rodney Dangerfield using and holding an Electrolux Golden J, or Super J. I remember the article said he was a vacuum fanatic and did most all of the vacuuming of his house, rather than having his wife or a maid do it...

Sptyks, the Kirby Dual Sanitronic 50 is not that rare of a machine, as many were sold back in the day, so there are still many out there. You can find them on E-Bay and on Craigs List in good condition quite regularly,,just keep an eye on them. Infact here awhile back a DS50 in excellent...

Seems like i DO remember once seeing a re=branded Eureka made upright in the usual Eureka style that had the Compact logo on it. Was probablly made at the time before Compact had a PN to go with their cannisters? Dont know for sure, but i do remember seeing an upright with the Compact logo.
