PN-1 Help! I bought a brand new belt and brushroll for the Electrolux PN-1 and now it's acting strange. The motor sounds like it's laboring and it occasionally makes these terrible grinding sounds. The brushroll is identical to the old one, and the belt seems to fit fine. I'm pretty sure I put...

I have one of the remotes Human is talking about. I will replacing the old electrolytic in the power supply as soon as I can afford to buy one. It will be at least $15.

I have a late 70's Amana Radarange RR-9 (I think) and I love it. It cooks food super fast - way faster than today's dinky little microwaves. I even nicknamed my mother's 700 watt Hamilton Beach microwave "Dinky." I get used to the Amana cooking stuff super fast, and I'll use Dinky and I wonder...

I use all my TV's on channel 16 UHF with a Blonder Tongue agile modulator. Way better than having the TV on a coax cable leash. It looks like I ruined my Karma tooting my own horn about how great CRT sets are. (They are). Just half an hour ago, a large capacitor in my 1984 RCA failed and the...

I think the above model sold for over $600 new in 1984 with a full function electronic remote, which I have.

If I had my way, ALL phlat skreen sets would be in the dumpster and everybody would have RCA, Zenith, Sylvania, and Magnavox consoles in their homes again. These new sets are just plain ugly too. There is absoluteley no design in them like the older sets with the nice cabinets. Just black...

You absolutely cannot beat a good old CRT set. They last forever and produce (when aligned, converged, purified, etc.) a crystal clear, true to life picture. The newer CRT sets and "phlat-skreen" sets just don't have the same picture.

I learned a powerful lesson in Electrolux-ology today. I was doing a whole house vacuum today, and (after topping off the old bag), I continued on into the bedrooms, where I accidentally sucked up a shoelace and subsequently snapped the belt. On modern power nozzles (like my Hyla), if something...

It's already working But the picture tube is weak. These sets are notorious for being unreliable after being used for long periods, so hopefully the preventative maintenance will help that.

I'm in the process of obtaining a beautiful 1967 RCA Victor CTC-25 console TV from a TV collector and friend in Atlanta. A few weeks ago, I got a 1984 RCA CTC-120 from an estate sale for free. I'm watching it right now. But this CTC-25 is super clean and I can't wait to go back to pick it up on...

The link doesn't work. I'll just do this.

Style C HEPA Bag I just wanted to get everyone's opinion on some bags I found. I've heard some bad things about Aerus Home Solutions bags in the past, so I wanted something better. Then I found these Perfect HEPA bags for Electroluxes. I'm thinking of getting some...

Charles, I'd like to hear the story if you don't mind. It sounds interesting.

I recently got a turquoise PN-1 from another 1205 at an estate sale for $5. That inspired me to unpack this 1205 that I've had for several years. With the power nozzle, I finally have a complete 1205 set, and I've been using it almost every day. I originally got the machine at Goodwill for, I...

Merry Christmas to all I hope there are at least a few people enjoying nice weather. It's complete misery here in the Bammy-ville.

Yep. I agree it's completely ridiculous. I say if you're not going to celebrate CHRISTmas, then don't bother celebrating it at all. Whenever I see a commercial on TV that speaks of the "Holiday", I jokingly say "well, which holiday?"

The T stands for Tiffin, OH. I'm 99% sure.

I wish I had that kind of selection. The thrift stores in Birmingham suck big time. I went on a thrifting spree today and literally the best thing I found all day was a fluorescent work light. No good vacuums, no good TV's, nothing.

The convention I'm looking forward to seeing info on the Chicago convention posted on the site.

Yep, That Compton is certainly not going to clog. They are excellent toilets.
