Thanks, The hose seems not to leak if at all. "It sure is purdy". I found a Duplicolor Auto Spray Paint today that looks close to the original paint color. I took a floor brush with me to match the color. I will do touch up work, let it dry for several days and polish the machine to a...

Oh, you did not publish your email address. You are welcome to email me privately and I will send you the PDF.

I have a, PDF of the manual I can email you.

On Ebay, There is a plastic version of the carry caddy. I was interested, but really don't need it enough to pay that much. Plus, it is tan which probably originally belonged to the later AP models.

Hey there, Lux, it is, a straight suction model. So now I have one of each. Chris, that picture is the B4 pic. I will add an after soon. Not sure about the G, but this was kind of odd. There are two screws exposed when the front door is down, they go into two square nuts, which also come...

Paint, headed to Advance Auto Parts Thursday to find a close Duplicolor match to the color on this vac. Probably will not take the whole vac, just an attachment. Wish me luck!

Snagged this Model 88 this week. Mediocre packing, but it survived! Needed cleaning, really needed cleaning. The bag basket smelled of....? So it needed to come out. Minor issue with removing the front door frame, but it came off. The basket went into a hot water soapy bucket to soak...

Oops Should have done my research first. Sorry group. "Gleaner The gleaner switch moves the bar on the rug side of the tool from smooth (off) to the grooved side (on) it works well on most types of carpet to better pick up lint, pet hair, and also just lift the pile. While this tool is still...

Does anyone know what that feature is on Electrolux floor tools is for? What is gleaning?

Um, I completely forgot about Airway canisters. I can guarantee what I saw was not, an Airway. If it had been, I would have snatched it up. I have 2 parts Airways in the garage. I am patiently hoping to find a hose of hose end for them. G.

May have been, a Bissell, or not. Just wondered if anyone knows of a plastic upright that had a blue/turquoise/aqua power cord. I know it was a "full size" upright and not a stick. I just remember glancing at and noticing it because of the cord color. Thanks.

Owen, I noticed that comment about public funds frugality. HA!

The vacuum, appears at 1:24 in the video. For those of us who may be impatient *smile*.

I was wondering if anyone has a parts machine, that they can sell me the rear wheels. Please respond to my VL email. Thanks, Garry

Thank you, Jeff I had hoped another hose would come along. As for the hose/hose end to fit my friend's machine has not surfaced.....yet. I am going to inspect the other machine this week. At the very least to shine her up. Would be cool to find another set of correct tools. I do have an...

TADA! Westinghouse Canister Here are the old and new picture of the original vacuum and the new one. First picture is of the rough first/other vacuum like it was left by my parents. I was new to VL when I posted this. I had repainted the top. Ugh! I will add a separate picture of that...

Was there a Bissell upright that came with a light blue power cord? I recall years ago at Goodwill, I saw one or another brand that had a light blue power cord. Ring a bell with anyone?

Good News.... I managed to get the hose I wanted, well I mean, the hose ends. The hose I got had a leaky woven outside/worn rubber inside hose from which I harvested the ends. Today I washed, rinsed, dried, and thoroughly cleaned and replacement hose. The last cleaning to make sure the hose...

Prototype abandoned A hidden lock when you pull the ring back, baffles me. Even so, I will have to wait, however long, for one to appear. I remember eons ago, there was a Westinghouse available in a city nearby. I missed the opportunity to drive there and get it. Like to one here, but...

Okay, here we go..... Old post#78492 from Crevicetool, "An unusual hose coupling. When you pull that slip ring, it retracts a lock. Sorta like an incline within the ring. Works very well." FYI.
