If you do decide to revive this thread... I am interested in the celebrity II elite, and the blue II, the fancy powermatic pn and a regular powermatic quadraflex along with wands and hoses

Despite what some may say... You will not find another lightning powerhead for parts, or probably one in general. Firstly, you need to get that broken wire soldered before anything has the possibility of working. Once you do that and get it back together I think there is a reset button on those...

watsonw I have thought about making a "cubicle cabinet" like I've seen at many vacuum stores, but laying the vacs horizontally takes up the space of 4 vacuums, but I guess if I can make the cabinet to stack 6 or 7 vacuums per column, I guess that is space saving too. I've been working on that...

thank you all for your ideas so far. my main quandry is I don't want to have to move 5 vacs to get to one, as is the predicament in my basement and in storage right now. I think I'm going to try hanging them around the perimeter, with a row of vacs under those, and then group the rest in the...

Hi all, I might be moving soon and I wanted to see the ideas of other collectors on collection organization. Right now, I have about 90 uprights at my house,and 30 various other machines(hand vacs, canisters,etc) and when I move I will be bringing along the ~60 uprights and 20 shop vacs/misc...

When I saw the posting title I thought "what are the chances that's Dearborn MI?" I looked at what was listed and they didn't seem to have that much besides a couple sweepers missing handles.

I have a couple bags I feel would be better in someone else's use than in my storage. I think $10 + shipping for a bag is reasonable, but if not we can work something out Kirby classic III bag. It looks "fuzzy" but is ripless and clean Bissell Prolite. Washed and igc. Hoover Clean n' light...

that's how I felt when I bought my D3 Well, you aren't really missing anything important besides a tool caddy. What is really the "pop out" on your new Rainbow is the fact a lot of the parts are newer/replaced if you aren't aware; water basin, dolly, crevice and dusting tool, and it looks like...

best deal was the winning bid of 99 cents and $34 shipping for my innovation. next would probably be a deal I got on a kirby classic omega,incomplete III, 515, G5, and 3 mid-90's royals for $100. Cleaned them all up and made double my money back selling the classics, my beat up G5 and the...

I know this thread is a little old... but can anyone with a power center show some detail shots of the attachments and hose? I'd like to get my power center going again and with attachments this time!

I have never seen a schematic on one, but I don't know how that would help you resolve its running hot. I do however believe there shouldn't be a relationship between your makeshift gasket and the increase of exhaust temp.

Your Hoover legacy (750 or 780?) is the 2nd to last BOL model. The 730, the only no-on-board attachment Legacy model was the BOL and consequently the vacuum I am set on finding. Very nice vault collection too, wish my vac guy was more enthusiastic about what he does!

I still have an oportunity to get a C1403. needs a cord and a fan and that's why I wasn't interested for $10. I'll have to give the guy a call because I have been interested in some other stuff he's had for a while.

Have another I just found this on ebay. I have never seen a nozzle like that on any machine. That bag and handle is familiar to me on Singers though. http://www.ebay.com/itm/5-0-AMP-VINTAGE-SINGER-VACUUM-CLEANER-/121162622840?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c35dae778

I believe in addition to what was mentioned it also has a tiny bit to do with the direction of the fans, horizontal vs vertical.

The 1st one I wouldn't pay that. No attachments, no guarantee of a clean motor. The D3 (in my opinion) is a nice machine, but hasn't reached the point of vintage value like the D2 and prior, but isn't 'modern' enough like the D4 to fetch a price like $145 for just the machine and power nozzle...

Happy Birthday.... I hate it when a cheap excuse gives you a good reason to buy something, but then you dismiss the excuse because what you bought is just so darn cool. Very nice decade-commercial. I do not get interested in convertibles, but I have always thought decades are the bomb. btw, my...

Just to add it in This is definitely vintage, but I have never seen such a strange looking shop vac. In my opinion though, for anyone that likes collecting shop vacs too, Craftsman has the most of the intriguing-looking shop vacs, pre-90's. Almost looks like that motor/top was homemade

So I'm doing the occasional (for me, almost daily) craigslist browsing of vacuums. Haven't found anything that I really want, but this particular vac goes in the record books as one of those strange name-combination vacuums. For starts, I have never, ever heard of the Powermax name being reused...

I believe one of mine is a performance 640, same color but top fill bag. Looks like the hood may have oxidized a little bit, that's the right bag though. I don't believe they were intended to exactly match on some models. I'd be willing to bet that's a 91, maybe 92' model. I've gotten a couple...
