Just sent an e-mail. Caldwell is right next to Meridian!

kloveland, is there any chance at all that you have a Model G that you'd be willing to part with? I have been searching everywhere for a decent one, and all that I've found are overpriced and/or beat up. The worst was a refurbished G that the seller wanted over $600 for. Ridiculous!

I would love to pick it up, because it's actually right by where I live. I'm in Meridian, and Nampa is a 10-minute drive from my house. I talked to the seller a week or so ago, and they wanted a little too much for this machine, and for the Automatic E that sold recently.

mradtman, If you haven't yet located one, I do have a floor polisher/rug fluffer attachment for a Centurion II. It looks to be in good to great condition, I have no way of testing it, though! LOL

KirbyClassicIII, You could message Adam and ask him what's happened before. Evan's been causing trouble with several people lately.

Well, here you go! This is my new 1930's Kenmore upright in action (see link). It runs pretty good! http://https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIs71EsuZco&feature=youtu.be

Hey all! So, one of my friends and fellow collectors is moving out of state, and I'm kinda sad because he's pretty cool and I have gotten a fair number of my vacuums and lots of parts from him in the past. He is leaving tomorrow, so, I went over to his house yesterday afternoon and picked up a...

vac-o-matic, That's kinda funny, I said the exact same thing to him before!

Thanks DT! It's from the 30's, I know that much, and it does indeed have a revolving brush roll. I finally found a belt that fits it, a Dirt Devil Style 15 flat belt. It runs great now. I will post a video shortly.

And, just so you're all aware, I hope none of you ever have the great fortune of running into him in person, especially not for a good long while, as he is currently suffering from *shudders* Scabies. Yup, he has dozens of little mites living under his skin, and it's a highly contagious...

As far as I know, it's all original. There is a strange little switch on the back of the motor housing and I believe that it's to turn the headlight on and off. I don't know for sure, but I will see if that's what it does once I replace the bulb.

You know something? I waited, and waited, and waited for this to finally happen! He is a snake, and everyone finally knows that. I have had my share of battles with Mr. Baier, and every time, he would argue and argue with me until he was sure that what he said was perfectly justified, and I was...

Gr8DaneDad, Thanks! I picked it up from a friend yesterday along with a beautiful Hoover 28 and a bunch of parts, bags, and odds and ends. He's moving out-of-state, and I'm a little disappointed because I've gotten a bunch of cool machines from him. Anyways, the Kenmore is in sort of rough...

If you want some Kenmore history.... well, have I got a piece of ancient history for you! I know it's not a canister, but it's still VERY vintage.

I knew this was going to happen to someone else. He is a cheater and a liar. It's not the first time he's scammed someone.

One of the coolest Luxes ever made, if I may say so myself. I've got the 1205-era CB, and it's a silent powerhouse.

Oh boy From the looks of it, this is going to be a long and interesting project! Thank you for the directions! I will start dis-assembly as soon as I finish up my Electrolux. The last time I had the top cover off, the commutator looked like it had sort of an hourglass shape to it. I don't...

Hey all! I have been thinking for awhile now about disassembling my Rexair Model B and tuning up the motor, and I think I'm going to do it. Now, before I start taking anything apart, I'd like to have the right information on how to correctly remove, disassemble, service, and re-install the...

Quality I'm only 16, and I know of several machines that will last far longer than 5 years. Some of the best-performing vacuums in my collection are 60 years old or older! When I was younger, I used to get all kinds of neat machines from the local auction. I had a Dirt Devil Platinum Force, an...
