My motor bearings are probably dry. the fan is fine I looked it over and I saw nothing wrong. I think I will keep it for now as a souvenir of about the last of the elites, I am actually a big elite guy but I love convertibles.

I think this is a caddy vac. I didn't see any other name on it so I will call it a caddy vac for now. I found this at a Garage/Estate sale for $3. The removable tool rack is interesting. I repacked the roller bearings with some Super Lube from Harbor Freight. It was kind of loud even after the...

@rugsucker It actually does have a full set of attachments. it still runs like new it just needs a cleaning. most of the attachments tho are tattered and in awful condition so i may get new ones.

Thanks @lesinutah and @thevacomaticiec

As you can see, I found a lot of stuff. All for $10. The portable has a half broken switch, the eureka has all attachments but needs a new belt. The pixie is fine and just needs a cleaning. The portable and pixie are my first in my collection, and I have a few esps.

I found this beauty at my gym. There was a giant hall filled with all kinds of old junk in the wear house part and I saw this. It took a lot of time to fix up and it is still not even finished yet. I still need to take out the scratches and need to grease the brush roll. Light bulb still works...

@gottahaveahoove That might be nice, though my friend Chris Szwejk has his store packed with a lot of stuff, last I asked him if he had type d bags, he said he had a lot.

Thanks everyone. John, I do need some type D bags my friend installed one for me when i had him look at it. I will also look into finding some attachments @electro I do know about that, I have been warned many times! And Scott, thanks for commenting. I'm sure you will find something with...

Hi everyone. Im a little new and I'm sure you guys see these a lot but I wanted to share my first Hoover DAM. My Dad was working out in New Jersey and I saw a free Hoover Dial A Matic on Facebook Marketplace. My dad went to get it for me and it fired up great when I plugged it in. All it needed...

@gottahaveahoove it is a shame. I disappointed that Royal had to copy Hoover. Can't they make their own vacuums?

So I was browsing Facebook Marketplace and I came across what looked to be a Royal branded Hoover Decade commercial. I am not getting this (it is a very high price, $245!) and it is somewhere out in CT. I will post a link if you want to see it...

Nice Sam! Glad you got one to. Interesting you got a NOS bag, I thought they were very hard to find. Hoping to see it up on YouTube!

@myvacsrock that is the best sight for some rare girls! 704-01, A117, 80th anniversary elite, I could go on forever!

I don't know much but heres what I can suggest... I don't know a lot about these but I can say that you should check the top fan and make sure that screwed on correctly. I had a Hoover Convertible with that problems and I broke into the motor and found the top fan was making a rattling noise...

@bnsd60m9200 i mainly care because I want to know what is worth something in my collection because they mean something to me.

@eurekaprince does this make these rare then?

Here I present one of my favorite vacuum cleaners in my collection... My Eureka 1470B, found at an estate sale. As I am more of a Hoover guy and don't really go for F & G units, I had to get this one as soon as I saw it. It was marked very low, $2.00 with bags! It was kept in great shape and was...

Scott... Looking good buddy. Nice machine. If you can, take and old wash cloth and wipe it down to make it look more nicer. Maybe ask Denis for a little refurb. Take care. - Declan

@rugsucker while doing some research, I did learn about that but are they rare or a cheap piece of shit?

I did some research and heard crosleys were apparently a cheaper version of a commercial hoover just under the brand of crosley. So heres a quick story: I was at my gym which is in part of an old warehouse. I saw a Hoover Turbopower 4500 (I still waiting if I can still take it) and I heard the...
