Ryan, Welcome to the club! How much are you wanting for the Omega? Does it come with hose and attachments, or Rug Renovator? Has the metal been polished or how shiny is the metal? Could you post some pics? Thanks in Advance, Brian W.

Yes, this hose IS rare. It was probablly made during the era of the Model 1205 (1969-1974), as its blue and white, in the colors of the 1205. The only problem with a woven hose this old is that they were/are prone to being very leaky after awhile, even tho they may look like brand spanking new...

The rubber cups are for to put under each FRONT wheel of the Kirby Motor, in order to steady the motor while using the Handi Butler, so that it wont go flying off the counter or bench.

Excellent!! You have an awsome machine there. DONT ever sell it and keep it forever,,these models of Silverado are rare, and hard to find (usually), because the original owner, (or someone in their family that the machine has been passed down to), is STILL using it, because its STILL going...

Forgot to say, as you can tell by the pic above in Davinator's post, this is the first time we meet the PN4. Which, i have to say, i was disapointed with. Was pretty much the same as the PN3. And, just didnt seem all that powerful to me. HOWEVER, when Electrolux came out with the new PN5...

Oh wow,,cool ad! Thanks for posting that! Suckolux, stand the cleaner up and open the bag door of your Silverado. Pull out the bag. If there is printed RED lettering at the top of the bag cage that says "Use Only Genuine Electrolux Bag",you have a later model Silverado, and short life motor...

Wow, that is AWSOME! 5 dollars for this Silverado!! Whats more, you will most likely never ever have to buy another one if you dont want to! This machine will most likely last the rest of your lifetime, with as much power as its always had. Electrolux built them that way on purpose. Congrats!

No, but i know the guy you are refering to,,Mr Fry was the # 1 and the guy im refering to i think was a close second,,at least in KS. The Salesman im talking about was out of the Topeka, KS Electrolux office. His name was Britton Wall. I think he passed away a few yrs ago.

Sure did!! The Lux salesman who told me that had been selling since the days of the model XXX,,,and was also a part time minister. So, i assumed he knew of what he spoke,,and wasnt lying! I know he was really disapointed in the quality of the motors after this Model of Silverado came out. He...

Also, if you ocasionally turn the microlined bag (and the outer cloth bag if you want) 180 degrees, after it starts to fill up, you will get improved suction. Be sure to WASH the outter filter bag ocasionally also. Swish it around in some hot sudzy water several times, rinse and wring out as...

An Electrolux salesman told me once that THIS very machine was the LAST of the good ol, long lasting Electrolux's,,like the kind that hardly NEVER wear out, no matter how abused or old they get. Especially when owned by the proverbial little old lady that only used it once a week! He said that...

An Electrolux Branch Manager, and salesman who had been in the business from the 1950s thru the late 1990s told me once that any machine that has the red lettering inside and above the bag door that reads "Use Only Genuine Electrolux Bags" has a cheaper and not near as long a lasting motor than...

On the Hoover Powermatic Quadraflex, what does the switch do that says Normal/Deep Clean? Whats the difference? I did have a Chrome and light green Hoover Celebrity once that had this type of PN,(but maybe not as deluxe?) ,it was an excellent PN,,groomed the carpet beautifully.

Actually, a Kirby Sanitronic 7 and the Dual Sanitronic 50(2 different machines) are Tan, or what Kirby at the time called Sirocco. The Dual Sanitronic was the first 2 speed Kirby, this is where the DUAL comes from. Dual speed. The Sanitronic 7 was the last of the single speed machines. The...

Im sorry, i didnt mean to "Bash" anything or anyone. Just repeating what i saw and heard from a neighbor one day. You dont very often see an Electrolux out on the curb with someones trash, or at least i dont, so i was supprised when i saw it. The neighbor man just happened to be out working in...

These upright Lux's are fun to look at and use, but, A neighbor of mine had one several years ago,,until i saw it out on the curb with the trash one day. The neighbor just happened to be working in the yard, and I asked him why they were dumping it, and he said it was the WORST vacuum they had...

I remember a neighbor of ours bought a brand new in box Classic 3 in 1977,,,the lady would bring it out to vacuum their car with occasionally. I remember wishing and wanting one SO BADLY,, i dreamed of owning one someday! Sure enough, as soon as i was old enough to earn my own money,in the...

Alex, you are right,,,they(whoever redid this Omega/machine in red) got that bag top/chain off of a red 500 series bag. It is most definatly NOT from an Classic 3. Any and All Original Red Classic 3 bag tops say KIRBY CLASSIC 111 on them, and have the slanted sheath/collar covering up to the...

I hate to say i told you so, but,, That is a Classic OMEGA, rebuilt to look like a Classic 3. If you look at an original from the factory Classic Omega, and Classic 3,and put them side by side, NEITHER of them had a bag "Chain",,,only the first Classic 1CR and all Kirby's before it had a bag...

Hope somebody will buy it! Im just not a Hoover guy, as you can tell by my screen name and wall paper! I just dont have room to keep this machine, and dont need or want it. If no one buys it, i promise i wont kick it to the curb, but will donate it to a local nursing home or some deserving...
