Nick I had seen a Dirt Devil sweeper at my local goodwill, went home to get my wallet, didn't figure anyone would want it... I came back and it was gone. So that is my next add on to my Dirt Devil collection. Have yet to see one though. I would also love to find a Dark green featherlite as...

Panasonicvac The Bissell 8amp and the Singer 7.5 amp are two of my favorite machines. I bought the Singer at a flea market for $15 (the belt was broken) this vac had been very lightly used and was very clean. The blue Bissell I bought from a local Rainbow dealer for $10 from a room of...

Hans I am so glad to connect with Clay! Please tell him hello, I would love to see him again. Some of my most fond memories of my childhood was going to his store. That' was my favorite place to go no matter what. I remember the first machine he gave me it was a Hoover Concept one with...

Jimmy, My plan is to make a day trip of it within the coming month, possibly the second Saturday in July. I do have one machine in mind I am looking for specifically (as pictured below) and would love to come see what all you have. Just gotta save some cash for the trip cause I know I'm gonna...

Hoover Canisters Yes that is my Spectrum 800, purchased at Goodwill for $18. It was obviously very gently used the brushroll and all airways had no build up on them and looked almost new. The hose has not one blemish and has very few slight scuffs. It had a clog in the base of the power...

funnynet1231 Did you ever get your featherlite plus apart? I responded to your post.

Thanks Kyle! I try to keep my vacuums in tip top shape. I don't use many of them, but do rotate which ones I use at certain times lol. I still have many more machines I want, just need to have the storage space. I can never not buy a vacuum if I see it, ( unless its most of your bagless...

Hello All! I'm fairly new to vacuumland but just wanted to post a few pics of my collection. I've yet to get pictures of any of my Kirbys or Rainbows but just thought I would share some that I managed to take pictures of recently. I really enjoy 90's Hoover's, as they are what I grew up with...

I ran into the same problem I had a similar problem when I was rebuilding one of these. Make sure the rubber gasket at the top of motor housing is removed. Also on the side where the suction fan is and where the belt shaft is there are black plastic rings that go over each side. Another thing...
