    Barn fresh Eureka D272

    Spare D272 I have a D272 that I got so I could use the handle on an incomplete Model M. It still has the brush roll and back wheels. Let me know if you are interested and willing to pay for shipping from California.

    1980-1995 Royal (All-Metal) Upright Model Chart

    Bulb I was able to get these LED bulbs to work in a Royal. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B21BFLDW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

    Bison Rheostat control

    I have a Bison that I repaired and it currently only runs at full speed. My best guess is that it has something to do with the transistor being damage. However, in your case, since the light ramps up instead of the motor, I feel like some of the wires got swapped, but I can't verify this.

    "13 head on a 1CR ?

    My best guess is that they ground down the flange in front of the fan case to make it accept the head from a D50/D80.

    Duntley vacuum

    Lux I was under the impression that the Lux Model I was basically an improved knockoff of the Santo, but I'm not totally sure how accurate that is.

    Looking for Royal 888 Nozzle

    I was recently able to get a Royal 888-type machine with a hose, but no nozzle. Does anyone have a spare nozzle they are willing to sell or know of someone who may have one? Thanks.

    Childhood Eureka

    Belt I would assume that it would use a standard Eureka RD belt (the same kind for Sanitaires), but I'm not totally sure.

    What's a vacuum you shouldn't like but really do?

    My choice would probably have to be the Amway ClearTrak. From an engineering standpoint, there's nothing about it that makes it better than a Dyson. The filtration is worse, the hose is far smaller, and it has had most of the patented Dyson parts removed. However, I've never seen a plastic...

    Kirby Classic Omega bag conversion

    Bag Adapter You want to get the F Style bag adapter (picture 1) or the Twist Style bag adapter (picture 2) These both work with the bags in picture 3. There are some older bags that only work with Twist Style or F style adapters, so I would recommend going with the newer bags. If you want to...

    Kirby Classic Omega bag conversion

    Bag conversion The assembly in the picture will work on your Omega. If you want to buy a single assembly to get most of the pieces you need, you can buy a Kirby Heritage II or Legend II bag with the plastic Mini Em-Tor attached to it. You will need to swap the top of the Omega bag onto the...

    Singer "magic cleaner"

    Air-Way I believe the twin motor Air-Way Chief was released in 1935. That model used a horizontal motor to drive the brushroll and a vertical motor for the fan. The DirtMaster, released in 1937 or so, used a single horizontal motor with two belts on each side. One belt drove two fans in a case...

    Singer "magic cleaner"

    Sideways Motor The Air-Way DirtMaster also used a sideways motor. However, due to the way the vacuum was engineered, its head was far larger than the Singer.

    Sebo Cordless SoftCase BP60

    Fan The fan setup on this vacuum is quite similar to the Air-Way DirtMaster, with a belt-driven fan being contained in the handle hinge.
