The DS50 will always be my favorite because of it being the only one with the very elegant lighted logo. I also hold my main DS50 dear to me because according to my mom it was my late grandmother's pride and joy and the only vacuum she didn't destroy or beat up. As another testament to that, I...

I've loved Rainbows since an age where I could only dream of having enough money to buy a dirt-cheap used one. That said, even if I was a well-to-do collector with $2k to throw at a brand new Rainbow, I wouldn't. The Rainbow system probably, at the high end, costs less than $400 to make. What...

Jimmy, Looks like I'm a-go for being down there Tuesday for some fun! I plan on arriving in the morning if that's convenient for you.

Jimmy.., It would take me nearly a day to come down to you, but I'm going to start planning and hopefully have a trip put together real soon! I have to take my car though but I'll pack it.

If the vacuums and parts are still plentiful, I would be highly interested in taking a trip to your warehouse. Particularly interested in Kirby sanitronic and Filter queen attachments, vax carpet machines and hoover innovation I saw in the part #1 thread.

Yes, the bars are there for support of the bottom plate. I've had a couple machines where the bars got busted out and if you pushed the front of the machine against a wall or piece of furniture too hard, the plastic would bow into the brushroll and rub. I also know they help prevent the brush...

That one looks to be in very good condition. Usually those bottom plates are busted to pieces and the brushes are never that nice!I used one of these sanitaire versions when our church used to have 1. I think they've replaced it because several times I've looked around and couldn't find it. A...

So thought I'd get some of my f&g machines to pose for a picture. On the left we have an interesting cross-breed, a 1945 and an ESP 2062 I think off the top of my head. Thought I'd bring it up because it came at almost a surprise to me. I have had the "cross breed" for nearly 7 years now and...

my bad As I posted my double post, I recalled how I asked the same question before. I hate being the one to ask the same thing 2x when I should have looked first! Knowing my new work schedule now, Saturday seems to be the only viable option. Are the dates posted or is that to come?

Alex It is my understanding this is a weekend event, I plan to drive to Cleveland for a day. Do you know the schedule and if you do, could you tell me what day would be the best to come to the convention to be the most entertained; and see lots of vacs and meet lots of collectors? Also, what...

I hope I posted this in the right section, I am under the impression it is 20+ years old, the office manager said it was there before she came 19 years ago.

My first impression of this machine when I saw and used it at the Dr.'s office which it came from was it was just an old widepath Sanitaire, but after close examination now that it's mine I am intrigued to know more about it. What I didn't notice till now is that it has a much different shaped...

I have a question If I were to pick one day of the convention to come to, the most important event filled day, because I'd like to just drive down for a day could someone recommend which day is best? Or has the schedule not been made yet?

The Queens 33,95 and PG-93

Blue Pro Series to go with my black one

The 1945

I've been meaning for a while to post some pics of new vacs I've gotten within the last month or so. There is actually a fair amount more vacs that I should add to this tread that I got in trade during a mini meet near the end of the year, but that's a lot more machines to take pictures of...

I scored this 1453 Canister the other day and I don't know much about electrolux, but I've never really seen such a bland looking lux as this one. Sorry for no pics, but it is rather basic with a slider switch and no cord winder. It was also always my understanding that all lux canisters had...

I have that same style, but not that particularly popular white model. I'd post a picture of all my elites, but it would take my whole living room and an hour to set them all up!

I have used those windtunnel filters for several custom applications. Even cut one to fit this nearly useless electrostatic air filter I have and now it actually filters the air!
