gregvacs28: Amen, Amen and AMEN!!

Keith, Just stunning. Can I visit Casa Keither sometime to see all your wonderful Luxes? It is so nice to see so many mint Electroluxes in one home. Thanks for sharing so many wonderful photos!

Edgar, Maybe enough plastic to make it light enough to no longer need a power drive transmission? Something along the lines of the twin motored upright Aerus which is arguably much more versatile.

Can we go even more off track? My beloved 1965 Olds 98 with the 455 ultra high compression engine and photon torpedoes.

For me it would be the Air-Way Chief or Super Chief. (See my meme--the back two vacuums). The first twin motored uprights that debuted in the mid 1930's. They could be used with both motors for rug cleaning or with just the suction motor for above the floor cleaning. They had wood pulp...

Hey Charles, When my mother bought the turquoise hospital G, it came with the 3-row brush roll and the salesman used it as a sales tool. I was very impressed and convinced my mother we, "had to have it!", since they had wall to wall wool carpet and quite a few oriental rugs. She said to me, (I...

Karl, That is a beautiful hose! I wish I could find one like it for my G. That red tracer really sets it off. I had a hospital G like Tom's and the top of the PN handle was a slightly different configuration as seen in the pics. I talked my mother into buying one brand new. Wish I had kept...

John, The homes pictured are: Tarantula Arms, Tarantula Arms West, Charles Lester's home and AirWay Abbey South I. (Airway Abbey South II is under construction.) Good eye!

Based on Bill's video now I want to try the Perfect bags. BTW, the evacuumstore's blue bags are called allergen bags. They have a white one that is called the HEPA bag.

Let me make sure we are on the same page here: Are you referring to the Home Solutions genuine Aerus/Lux blue bags? If so, I am referring to the blue bag made by evacuumstore that is NOT an Aerus/Lux product but their own unique product. The Aerus/Lux bag is paper, the evacuumstore bag is...

Hey Fred...………...you are spot on about Keith and his vacuums. Talk about being, "pea green with envy". His vacs are stunning. If I can't find them like Keith does then I try to make them look as good as his. And, you should know, about two years ago I found a really nice Renny. I liked...

There is a "blue" bag made by evacuumstore that is a HEPA C bag designed for Lux tanks. It is not paper but the cloth-like HEPA material similar to Kirby bags and others. IMO it is has very good filtration and provides superb air flow.

Lux Turquoise G and Super J Several folks on here, (Fred Nelson, Keith and Charles Lester for starters), inspired me to go to my storage unit and dig out these vacs for photo shots to share. My husband and I are building a new home and yesterday we went to see how it was coming along. The...

Thanks Les! That 4000 is a beauty and I really like the headlight feature. Gives it kind of a more old timey look. Plus, that 10 amp motor must have incredible suction on a machine like that. After my post, I did do some research on Google but still the collectors here have more validity for me.

And, not the kind from Kings and Queens but from those familiar with the Royal family of vacuums. I used to ask Mike Rogers but since he has passed on I'm soliciting help here. This is one vacuum I never collected or learned much about so any help is very much appreciated. What are the basic...

Edgar, Absolutely beautiful lineup! At one time I had a Legend II rebuilt by Kirby with all the original attachments. It was stunning. I gave it to a friend so she could enjoy the wonders of a Kirby. I kind of regret letting it go. There are still plenty of them out there and maybe there...

Les When Kirby did the rebuild I was informed that not all parts would be original. The original belt lifter sticker was replaced as well as he hubcaps. Kirby no longer makes those items in the original color/style so they use the Legend II replacements as they work with the HD-1 color scheme...

Tom, Thank you!  I am trying to keep it as original as possible. Miss Mercy found a bag for the Omega too that is nicer than the original one I have. If she can find those wheels I will be doing cartwheels and that ain't easy at this old age......

kirbyklekter, Hey thanks for the nice words! I have a soft spot for the Omegas. I've had five over the years and am keeping two. The one you see and one more. Two I restored, two were done by Kirby and one was done by a vac shop owner who is a friend. He did a beautiful job and kept it all...
