Found this today in one of my haunts. I was there for an Airway 88 and the owner pulled out this "old floor cleaner" and wanted to know if I was interested. I NEVER find anything still in its original box! It has been assembled, possibly once, but shows no sign of wear or use other than a side...

IMHO…. IF you have carpet, especially plush, I would recommend the Tristar as a intact original unit. Its powerhead is GREAT!!. My FQ is a wonderful machine, but the powerhead is so soft it just skims the top of the carpet. However the suction is so strong on the tristar, the only way I can use...

In need of sears tools I have been looking for a set of those for my early 60's kenmore two speed canister!!!! Are they for sale? 40 years ago, we had the same vac and the floor tool was metal with the hash marks on both ends. Love the design! Am having to use the generic gray modern ones now...

It WAS my fathers Oldsmobile! Remember the commercial: Its NOT your fathers Oldsmobile? Well this one is. 12,000 miles when i got it, 58,000 now. We are driving it to St Louis in a couple of months for the Lambda national meet. Anyone else going? This pic is of a friend with his 60 Imperial...

Hi all! I wanted to try and help out Chicagomike who has quite a few canisters listed on ebay in his store. I have bought 4 vacs at 10$ each and they all work and just needed cleaning up and new cords. What he does not sell by next week, he is going to recycle and these are just too hard to come...

do you know the bag style number? I have hoards of bags ( i buy them everytime i see them) in hopes of helping a fellow member out in times of need.

Congrats!!! And as for your friends….most people miss the obvious (to us anyway) !! Anytime I ask someone what kind of vacuum they had growing up etc etc, they just say DUH? I vacuumed. That all mom cared about. These are the same people that say all old cars look like a 57 chevy. I drive a 55...

Quickbroom Human! Is it not amazing how nasty some of the vacuums are when they are supposed to be CLEANING our homes? I truly believe many of these discarded vacuums are just given up on because they themselves have not been cleaned or maintained like any machine would be? My grandmothers...
