Ill see if I can find one. I was watching it on the teevee.

I was watching a rerun of American Restoration, and they had a man being in an old Rexair to be restored. He said it was used by the army, and only about eight remained in the world. Anyone for anymore info on this?

Turquoise has got to be my favorite out of all the bright colors that were popular in the 1950's. Eccellent picture.

A great find and it looks like new now!

Got to be te tradition for me also...there's just SOMETHIBG so elegant an regal to the blue against silver. The g5 is a close second.

Thank you!

The only Oreck I own is a 2600...not the worst vacuum I've ever seen, but not real great.

So I was wondering about...how long exactly has Oreck been around? What was their first model? What about some more of their early vacuums? And pics would be AWESOME. Thanks!

I've always loved Lewyts, especially the "trash can" models. My grandmother has a 44 that hasn't been used in at least ten years....works like a charm, but missing the original hose.

That's just fanning the flames, Marshall. It is never appropriate to use the kind of language for one, and If you feel we should stop complaining in a thread that was last posted in in 2009, there's a much more subtle way to do it.

Bumppity! Here's a pic after the final cleanup. Still looking for a bag...:)

I wa going to say they same. Safety switches would have to be modified or bypassed.

Hmmm. Probably my kenmore de luxe handheld, from 1932.

Yes! I prefer using my D50 over anything else. It's lighter and smaller and easier to maneuver.

3. Try eBay. And a lot if people around here are willing to work out a trade. 5. I believe it's because they're softer compare to today's. 6. YES.

The red one with a plaid bag is a Kirby. Classic 3 to be exact. Everything original and all attachments too! The very last one, with the reddish brown bag, is a Hoover 825. Not the original bag for that machine, but at least it's an original Hoover bag.

The rest of my collection that's not pictured should be named under my profile. Here's a better pic of the uprights:

Hmm...when all else fails, google it. Or try the Facebook group.

That's the thing I've found about dysons. They pick up well on the surface, and do well on hard floors, but when it comes to deep cleaning they are quite mediocre. Not the worst I've ever seen, but not too great.

I've always been intrigued by foreign vacuums. I would really like to add a Canadian Lux to my collection, but I had a heck of a time even finding my ONE lux, so I doubt ill find one anytime soon. :) Sorry to get off topic.
