    Vacuum test meter

    I recently bought this test meter off eBay.  The dial is broken down into two scales.  One scale is Kilopascals and the other is Inches of Water Lift.  I tried it out on the my new Compact C-8 I just won on eBay, and it reads 80 IWL both directly on the machine, and on the hose.  I have a few...

    How do you take the bag off?  I have a Concept One, and the bag is really filthy and needs a good wash.   Joe

    How old is this P.A. Geier Hand Vacuum Model B257?

    That looks like A Royal Prince. I could be wrong.

    Hey Kevin Yes, I think that PN is the same that would have bee sent with the new to me Compact I just bought. Those pictures of BurgerChef you posted look exactly like the one my grandparents and I used to go to. Such good memories! Thank you for that. Joe

    My latest eBay purchase

    Hey Ben Eureka made a lot of Montgomery Wards (Monkey Wards as my Nona and Grandfather used to call them) vacuums and badged them as Signature (Montgomery Wards house brand). I remember going to Wards with them (my dad was a die hard Sears Kenmore fan) when we had to replace my mom's old...

    My latest eBay purchase

    I went by my local vac shop and bought a package of bags for my Compacts.  They didn't have genuine Tri Star bags but had bags from a company named Enviro Care.  Does anyone know anything about these bags?  Also,  did Compact make the same  models in different colors?  My C8 is gold/yellow, and...

    My latest eBay purchase

    Hi Kevin You are correct.  A few companies did go to Eureka for the power nozzles for their machines.  Compact did, as well as Rainbow.  I used to have a D2 that had a PN that was a Rotomatic with a Rainbow decal on it instead of Eureka.  I think even Air Way used Eureka nozzles at one time. ...

    My latest eBay purchase

    That's great Rex I have a C2 i bought off Shop Goodwill about a year ago and it was complete with the original attachments and even came with the original instruction manual.  Sad thing is neither the donor or Goodwill themselves bothered to empty the bag.  When I got it, it was full of dirt. ...

    Thanks Shane, I would love to buy your power nozzle for my Compact.  I get paid on the 13th, and will send you the money then for the nozzle and the dusting brush.  Do you know what the total would be with shipping?  BTW, you wouldn't happen to have an electric hose for it too, would you?  If...

    rainbow

    This is my second favorite I bought this machine from eBay a few years ago.  It's an early D2 without provision for a power nozzle.  Wish it had one.

    sears triangle brush

    I think you're right Hans, My Mom's Kenmore canister had one of those triangular shaped dusting brushes, and I was born in 61.  She died in 64.  Never seen another one in person after that.  I would like to get one for my Kenmore, so I've been keeping my eyes open for one.
