johnnyb59c, I've heard his name but I cant say Ive met him. Hoover300, It does indeed look a little like a Kirby patch. I'm not sure what color the bag was originally since its so faded. The patch has a faint GE on it.

Ok, here they are! The first is the adorably small Duplex canister vacuum. I couldn't find any info or old ads relating to it. I love Premiers so I couldn't resist getting the 47. Some of these canisters are going to be tricky to get hoses for, especially the oddball Super Vac and Sweeper Vac...

vacman1961 I replied to your email , let me know what you think. Thanks!

I am currently on my way home from Harrisburg, PA with a car full of vacs! When I'm able I'll post pics!

Out of curiosity what does it go to? I don't mind selling it, if you'd like to email me we can discuss a price, shipping, etc.

Vacman1961 I won that one, which hose is it?

2011hoover700 Thank you for the info! I have a few machines Id like to get rid of. Ill have to post some pics at some point.

These came with the DS50 I won at the auction. Any idea what they go to?

For those of you that have restored a 28, what shade of brown did you use to repaint it? Did you go for exact color match or match up some Rustoleum? I'm going to repaint the base of mine and am looking for some guidance. Thanks!

I had one of these when I was a kid. I found this one at a thrift store. The bearings screamed so decided to take it apart and give them some lube. Its a Johnson motor with a rear sleeve bearing and front ball bearing. I serviced them and now it runs beautifully and is surprisingly powerful for...

huskyvacs It sure is an aftermarket. Its a heavy material and larger than an original. When I first switched the machine on the bag inflated so large it lowered the handle!

This past week was good to me with these three lovelies! The Kirby 516 came with its attachment kit and seems all original except the bag. A coworker said a friend of his was flipping a house and found it, so he rescued it from being pitched and gave it to me. The Sanitronic 50 was an auction...

How did this hide, unused for so many years? Incredible! https://www.ebay.com/itm/Gorgeous-Brand-NEW-Vintage-Hoover-Model-913-Upright-Vacuum-Cleaner-/184536437809?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292

I have been after one of these World Vacs ever since I used one when I was a kid to vacuum my dad's office. It has literally been twenty-odd years before I've been able to get my hands on one! I cleaned out the motor, which was full of fluff and dirt. Apparently at one point in time something...

Cool score! Awesome finds! I have a beast of a Royal sold under the private label Panther. It really claws ups the carpet! I have an older Sanitaire 'Blue Line' I converted to the ST setup and it really feels like it greatly increased airflow.

My paternal grandmother had a Kirby Legend 2, a blue Hoover Concept, a green Hoover Powermax, a Dirt Devil Swivel Glide, Dirt Devil Deluxe Upright and lastly a Hoover Windtunnel bagless. My maternal grandmother had a 1987 Kenmore Upright Self-Propelled, a Regina Housekeeper, and lastly two...

Oh boy, a few in my time! A Kirby Legend 2 that had been used in a restaurant. The nozzle, fan chamber, and most of the fill tube had a thick (I mean like one inch thick) crust of greasy black dirt the consistency of black crayon wax that I had to chisel out! The next was a thrift store...

I LOVE the blue and chrome box top bag upright! I hope and pray one day I find one! Beautiful line up!

Interesting Concept! Here's an infomercial video on Youtube for something similar. It may even be the same, just a newer version?

So in my spare time I refurb bagless vacs, or vacs that I don't consider collectible and sell them on Facebook for pretty cheap. Recently, I tried to sell a bagless Bissell. The buyer made his arrival time later and later, kept apologizing and offered an additional 10 bucks for the...
