I have bought a few items from them I was in need of a bottom plate with belt protector for a Hoover Model 305 and they had one, I bought it. I would guess that is a hard item to find. Another time I needed an original bag holder, a scissor type, for a Hoover Model 541 and they had it. I was...

Thank you Hi Jimmy, Thanks for the information. Good luck, Pete

Hello rugsucker, Any thought on the vacuum that I wanted to buy from you?

You could try https://www.vacpartsplusstore.com/catalog/ and in their search type: HOOVER CORD 30' BLACK 2 WIRE if the original cord protector is not molded to the cord ans still good you can just use the straight end type of cord they have. I have used both types of cords. If you want one...

I have not heard back from someone, sort of strange.

Wester Electric and Sturtevant Yes I did buy the motor assembly that was on eBay just because I found to be odd. The little thing actually runs good. I believe there was a collector that lent one to the vacuum museum some time back. My understanding is that the fan cage used a Sturtevant design...

2 piece handle Yes, I believe the Hoover Model 65 had the first 2 piece handle. I assembled my grandparents new Hoover Model 65. Seems it took a long time for Hoover to decide to make a 2 piece handle. I might be wrong but, I believe Royal had 2 piece handle starting some in the 1930's.

How were handles packed? So when one bought a new Hoover 25 with attachments such as the box indicates which is okay. Just how was the handle delivered to the customer? The handle for the 25 is about 36 inches or so long and would not fit in the box. It is not like it is a 2 piece handle. I see...

Perfect C101 1400 Watts These are now around 1100 watts. Seems there are some retailers that sell the Perfect Model C103. Search for the Perfect Model C103 and you should find an number of Perfect Branded vacuums.

bikerray and DaveVac The belt on the Hoover Baby 103 is rubber and still stretches and I would guess it is the belt that was on it when put away. There a some cracks in the belt as pictured and it is spinning the brush roll. No problem with the top Bearing on the Rexair. I removed it, cleaned...

Ron and Les, Here are some other disassembly pictures of a Royal Model 129 that I took after I got the Royal and sent them to a friend taking their Royal apart the first time. Nice Royal Ron, good luck to you.

There is a Compact Electra Manual and floor tool for sale on eBay. The item number is 292842367776. Sorry I do not remember Compact models.

I forgot to say the Rexair needed a lower bearing which I got on eBay and the fans were really dirty. All 3 vacuums are running really good.

I do have to say this Hoover Baby Model 103 has been the most interesting vintage vacuum I have ever worked on. From that little cloth tag that says Hoover Model C that is attached to the motor to those wooden bearings in the brush roll and the amazing connector on the cord and less I forget the...

I will add to this Thread tomorrow. Please know I will not remove the connector as that was why I decided to buy the Hoover Baby Model 103. The vacuum is from the Farm land here in California and I do not believe it has been used in 70 to 80 years. The motor did not need much in the way of...

I just picked this up and it seems to be complete and original. The tag that is attached indicated it is from "The Hoover Suction Sweeper". The bag while in poor condition appears to be the original bag. The cord also looks original with the screw-in lamp socket connector. The commutator looks...

I have not decided what to do with that fan at this time.

Well I can not imagine anyone needing the fan as I think anyone that owns a 75 year old Kirby would either have had it replaced along time ago or just not need one.
