Congrats on your Prolux Plus purchase. It was one of Electrolux Corporation's commercial models. The "Plus" meant that the power cord was hard-wired below the hand grip, so there's an auxiliary outlet in which you can plug in a hose cord to run the Sidekick upholstery/stair cleaner. The...

@ Durango159 ... reply #31 A couple "carmargue blue" (navy) & "platinum gray" Hoover ranger hood Convertibles are the models U4521 (w/Type A bag) and U4523 (w/dust cup). Beyond those, here are some other blue Convertibles listed by model, hood style, and Hoover shade terms copied...

I'd like to have a Electrolux Model 1718/Label Epic 6000 SR tank in navy & light sand with all its original tools, navy & white hose, and its factory-paired Model 1693 pn. It was sold from 1992-93 and succeeded by the Model 1762/Label Epic 6500 SR with pn Model 1684, vinyl hose and electric wands .

I chatted with an Aerus rep about the difference between the Genesis LX and Genesis LXe. She messaged the engineering department who stated the following: 1) The Discovery series, Regency Series, Special Edition, and Genesis had cords that were detachable from an electrical outlet at the base...

I second Edgar's opinion.

I wonder if Hoover made replacement bristles for its tools like Electrolux USA? If so, you could either try to find NOS online or just find a good used brush from a local vac shop from which you could remove its bristles and place in your green holder. Thrift stores can be a good source of...

Thanks, Myles.

You're welcome for any info. I've contributed. I thank you for your sentiment and for sharing your knowledge and anecdotes with us!

The Lawrence Welk Show Oddly enough, I happened to catch this Hoover Convertible/Model 34 on a 1966 episode of THE LAWRENCE WELK SHOW. I'm wondering if anyone knows if the show PAWN STARS has ever featured a vintage vac. I'd like to hear their reaction to one would be along with its...

Welcome to Vacuumland, Steve. Here is another site thread (conversation) that you may find helpful: http://www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?28870 Fyi ... I used the Vacuumland search engine and entered "dial a matic repair". There are other threads to check out, too; I just...

Welcome to Vacuumland, Ed, and thanks for posting. I appreciate that you included not only a link but also a photo that can be referenced when the listing expires. It's frustrating to peruse old threads with links that are broken. Enjoy your Kirby collecting.

Here's an approximate color timeline of Aerus's L-shaped uprights since '86; except the PowerTeam labels 1400, 1400X, & 1400XP; Sanitaire models SC6600 & SC6600A; Pullman-Holt model UV5, Veridian Prolux OBT rebrands; and Globaltek models. KEY * Factory equipped with headlight ** Factory...

Red Text "Use only genuine Electrolux bags" Regarding the red text on the rim of the bag cage, here is information from BrianKirbyClass's reply in this thread: http://www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?17012 "I heard an Electrolux Branch Manager who had been in business for over...

Thanks for the link and pic. I appreciated your pics in the other thread, Edgar, and agree that it's helpful to post such information as a reference--particularly if it's not already on the web. As for the tool set-up and other information on the Model 1572E/Discovery Plus, you may be able to...

Ah, the Electrolux "gold diggers"--the Model 1401/Super J and Model 1363, the original USA upright! The Celebrity II Elite appears to be a Model U3061 in cinnamon orange; and the Dial-A-Matic is a Model U6039-030 in sea blue & oyster white from 1976-77. I'm sure Johnny Olson helped sell a...

I recently saw an Omni-Flo power nozzle (PN5s, PN6s, PN7s) that had a Coronet label on it. What's the scoop?

Thanks myles_v and hunan. I thought someone said in another thread that the socket could be added, but I couldn't locate it. Maybe it was just a wish. hunan, I'd like to see photos of the two locations of the port when you can. I've only seen the one at the base. Do you happen to know...

I have a Genesis LX without the electric port. Can one be added, so I can use an electric hose with a Sidekick?

At least one cleaner was omitted from list above: U4117

In the interest of helping to complete kirbyvertible's Hoover Color Timeline I composed a list of models from hescoinc.com and amazon.com data (which were not on the list above). Please share years of production and color schemes you have. JUNIORs & LARKs 12 (1953-1956; burgundy with gray...
