Gary, that's a neat find there. I haven't seen that before, but really like the look of it. Do you have an pics of the brush roll etc...?

Turbo Version Hey Nick nice Transformax! I have the yellow version w/ turbo nozzle. I think it's pretty nifty.

Thanks for the info Alex!

Photo #2 Here's the 2nd of the two pics.

Hey guys I am wondering what you can tell me about this vac? I haven't seen this one before. It appears that instead of a plug on the cord, it screws into a light socket. Obviously judging by that it's been around for quite some time, as well as the amount of "patina" it has. I have 2 pics I...

Thanks Aaron!! :)

Jason, I knew you would like the fact Ryan & I have matching machines!I was actually thinking that as I was buying this one. That was the biggest reason I bought it was to have matching machines. John, I can see that it's definitely built to last! Very solid & that cord could be used as a tow...

Here's today's thrift store find. A hoover Convertible Guardsman. I took it apart & cleaned it thoroughly. Also, oiled all the bearings. She needs some further TLC with a Magic Eraser & the metal polished up & she will be good to go.

YAY! I am glad to see your $5 find posts again Tristan!!Nice looking Santaire.I have the System Pro canister. I am including a link to a cord. Looks like should be the one. Couldn't find it on Good Vac or Hesco sites. http://www.totalvac.com/EXR-3025-1.html

Probably in the plastic compound. Alot of things have lead in them to this day. Extension cords, & christmas light strands to name a few. All have fine print warnings about washing your hands after handling.

Middle Hoover I love the middle model! It was the vacuum my mom had when I was born & is the vac that started my love of vacuums. My grandmother had the same model & bought one for my mom too. I would really like to find one for my collection someday.

I remember a similar model being sold in WalMart in the 80's with plastic wands & a headlight. Recently there was a discussion here about them. I believe someone said that they were made by Ryobi.

Hey Richard welcome to Vacuumland! There are alot of us collectors out here! Some in Kansas too! I am in Salina. It's nice to know that there are fellow vacheads not too far away. I don't know much about the vac models you inquired about. However there seems to have been a discussion of the...

Thanks Tyler!!

Thanks Mark1 Hopefully some of the other guys can answer your question. I am not up on my history of vacs Hoover made for Penney's.

Thanks John! I am happy it turned out as good looking as it did considering the scuffs it had.

Wow! That's great to know Ray. Hard to imagine that a well-built product could have been sold for such a low price.

Thanks John! The "P" does look out of place there.

Hmm I think the Electrolux Model G is tops for quiet. Also some Panasonic uprights are fairly quiet. I think it was Panasonic that even had a " Library quiet" series. Although I doubt they could have actually been used in a library full of people. LOL

Hey HooverMan thanks for sharing that link to the commercial! I remember thoat commercial from a few years ago. I really like the way they did the 3-D animation showing the machine's inner workings.
