The cap that is on the end of the Brush Roll with the bearing in it will come out and you can get whatever is inside out (rocks gravel etc) When you put it back together make sure the little tab on the bearing holder lines up with the notch in the roll housing.

So? Does this mean I shouldn't bring my Rexair series A in for service? I think it's overdue for a service by maybe a couple of years.

The motor bearings in the 541 are just bronze sleeve bearings. Since this isn't a Robbins & Myers motor you don't have to worry about the set screw holding the bearing in. The bearings on a 541 motor are driven out with a drift pin tool, the new bearings are driven in with the drift pin...

Fuller Brush back in the 50's and 60's sold brushes and cleaning products door to door. Just a little history on Fuller if anyone cares.

It looks like a rebranded Eureka, the brushroll is a Eureka Vibra Groomer I.

Yes, the bearings can be replaced, but you have to have the reamer to align everything. If you have the Hoover service manual it tells you how to do that.

Stopped a Thrift Store in Orland Park and found this Royal model 235C for $9.50. It's kind of a rose color hammertone finish, 110 Volt, 300 Watts. I figure it will be something to play with in the winter.

It was the model S that was advertised as the lightest vacuum in the world. The S just had a front door that just clipped on. It didn't have the inner workings that the model L had in the door (which adds a slight amount of weight).

XXX or model 30 was 1937 to 1954 Silverado was 1982 to 1984 NOT early 50's

I'm tired of picking up stuff for other people and getting stuck with the item because It's the wrong color It has a scratch It's not perfect It doesn't have the attachments with it

That Hoover Special looks like a 102 or 105 with a Robbins and Myers motor. The switch is on the right (from the back) which would be 102 but it looks like it has the tilting bar on the bail which would be a 105.

Stopped at the Goodwill in Mundelein, in among the vacuums is a Kirby Sanitronic 50 with the Kirby logo that lights up in the headlight hood for $9.99 and I'm thinking Darn I already have one of those. So I left it there.

Some of the Golden Jubilees were Model 1205 later ones were Model 1210

Is that by any chance made in Texas? If it is they are a really cheap knockoff off Sanitaire.

This is what the Air Way brush strips look like before and after rebristling.

No, they do not all take the same. The PN1 used a smaller motor and smaller carbons.

If it looks like this it's a rebadged Royal, mine is a 1950 Packard model. They were a premium when you bought a Packard, you had a choice of several different appliances i.e. a single door refrigerator, a vacuum cleaner, a sewing machine, etc.

The belt lifters on my 509 and 510 Kirbys are both gray paint on red background. The belt covers on my 1C and 2C both have red on a black background.

If you look at the rear bearing you will notice a cap over the bearing held on with two screws. If you unscrew the two screws the cap will come off and you can add grease to the bearing. The front bearing is the same BUT you will have to take off the fans. To get the fans off you will notice...

Looking at my 102, 105 and 541 handle bail The 102 is different The 105 and 541 look the same The only difference between the 541 and the 543 was the 541 had a brushroll and sateen bag the 543 had an agitator and black cloth bag
