    Westinghouse bags

    Hi all, was wondering if anyone has a picture of the bags used in a Westinghouse MC-1 ? This is the model that was similar to the GE Roll-Easy. If you have a picture, please post it. I imagine Sears Kenmore may have had an equivalent bag as well as other generic brand companies. Thank you...

    More suction power

    Update, I have settled on 2 GE MV1's and a MV2. I also got a first-generation Oreck Buster B. I boosted the suction on all by adding foam sealing strips around the ledge/perimeter of the bag chamber. One of the MV1's has a self-sealing cloth bag. All of these will do what I need. I understand...

    More suction power

    Thank you, Alex I may have settled on two GE portables: a GE MV1 and a MV2. Today I added some very thin tape seal around the perimeter of where the bag sits and discovered much improved suction. I will end up with 2 more vacs, a Eureka version of the GE and a gray GE MV1. Thank you for...

    What do you think,

    I am about to start/resume a project I have been wanting to do. I have Royal "beehive" canister that has a power port for a PN. My plan is to match up a PN, but I knew I needed a cord to connect to the unit, down the hose and to the PN. I will be using straps where needed. Step one was to...

    Feesbay or Fleabay,

    Update I started a return through Feebay. Free return. Oddly enough, yesterday, I received a package containing a single Synthetic bag I ordered through Walmart. The return label was from that Feebay Seller's company. I almost thought the Seller was sending me a bag to shut me up.

    NP, Les, I knew you were. I have enjoyed your posts in the past. I hope you are never misunderstood. Jokesters are most often misunderstood. No harm done. Keep posting.

    Would it be best to keep a spare used metal or a new wooden brush roll? Has anyone found the new wooden brush rolls, reliable?

    CB variant of the Elux Bronze Model G

    Hey Les, I see he has the User's Manual. I just thought I would ask a simple question. Hey Edgar, he has said in the past, he finds them and has a person restore/refurbish them. Is that correct, Keith?

    Feesbay or Fleabay,

    Hey Paul, I get the impression this is a group or like a vacuum shop. It is so important to check out their neutral and negative feedback before buying. I did that, but took a chance.

    Feesbay or Fleabay,

    is highly protective of their sellers. How could I have thought they would be more protective of the buyers. A certain seller advertised and is still advertising synthetic Hoover A bags. In my case, they sent the wrong bags. They sent paper bags. Not only that, but they are ignoring my...
