Well this is interesting. I found this on a site called Vacuumland and it just kind of struck me that there was something familiar about it. I am referring Thread No. 8326 from 3/1/2010 and Post No. 92548, of the same date, by Barry Banister. All this on that Vacuumland site, how odd. Now...

Yes, it seems like it is not from a Royal.

Oh, sorry to say none of the pictured fans with spindles/belt pulley are from a Royal vacuum but I have now pictured one. I will say I have no idea if the newer Royal fan attach the same way as the one pictured. Early Royal vacuums that have a revolving brush with the belt going around the...

I might be a bit thick headed, but I do not understand what you mean Les. I the previous picture I had some old Royal front bearing plates that are going in the trash. I know the new style the belt pulley is what keeps the fan blade in place but on the pictured used D80 fan and pulley look...

I have had this fan for years and years with some old vacuum parts. I believe it may be an early Kirby fan. I sort of looks like I may have written C2 on it. I have never worked on anything older than a Kirby 509 that I recall. It looks Kirby like and it is possible that it was not manufactured...

The little Hoover Baby Model C and the Hoover Baby Model 103 I believe share some or all of the components and the brush roll used in the Hoover Model 102. I have the Baby Model 103 and it seems to run well. I have to trade out the brush roll and belt cover with the Model 102 which I did know...

Good friends all I have to say is: If I had David's money I would throw mine away.

Entrepreneur, Businessman, Salesman & Marketer Personality I watched David Oreck's commercials on the Oreck Vacuum for many years and I grew up watching Ron Popeil's Veg-O-Matic commercials. These were men of great success and I believe knew when it was time to move on from these enterprises...

Clean outs Hello rugsucker and All, I am sorry to say the only vacuum I find of interest is the GE 111. I understand GE had also made a Model 111-A with a light, this I have never seen pictured nor in person. I have had to clean out 2 shops for their owners and most machines went in the big...

Hello huskyvacs and scoover, Yes, it is the Hoover 103 that was on eBay a few days ago. I just cleaned it up a bit and for some reason the motor paint was near perfect. I then spent a bit more time polishing the brass name plate on the motor. Replace the carbon brushes and it had a mismatched...

Hello All, I received this 103 a few days ago. The bag and cord were bad. It runs really well. Thanks for looking Pete

Hoover Convertible whit lager bags using HEPA F&G Bag Hello wyaple and All, I have been using these "Vacuum America Clean" F&G bag in the later Hoover Convertible with the larger outer bag. I have not found the "C" Hoover bag that is a HEPA bag. Also, with my Kirby D80 but with a generic Kirby...

Hey Les, I like your idea of using pantyhose. What brand did you use? At this point I have not had a Kirby stop working and they seem to pick up great. Keep up your good work, Pete

Hello fan-of-fans and broomvac, Wow, I just looked on eBay for the fun of it and they have several of the dreaded pink toy Dirt Devils and the toy upright and a NIB toy hand vac. I searched for "Toy Dirt Devil". I really had no idea they existed. I guess we could say the World passed me by. How...

HEPA F&G Bags Hello All, Until someone figures out a simple easy way to use Kirby F bag on 519 or D80 I am using these with one of zipper bags that are a non-Kirby branded item. So I lose the Emptor, but I can always put it back on and I have not destroyed it. Works for me. Good luck to all of...

Accessories and Toy Dirt Devil Hand Vac to Director's Ch Hello fan-of-fans and All, I added a few more pages from the leaflet. I had no memory of the Toy Hand Vac that used AA batteries nor the Nozzle Adapter for the Original Hand Vac. I guess the leaflet is from January 1996. Thank you for...

Broom Vac Info Hello bvac6 and All, Here are a few pages from the leaflet that you might be interested in. The little Broom Vac is like having a 1920's good straight suction vacuum with a real revolving brush. I tend to like all Dirt Devils as they are a great value for their cost. Please...

Hello Jashields83 and All, The G is one of the best tank vacuums Electrolux made and I still have 3 of them which I use. I do believe my 1205 and Silverado do have more power. I am not so fond of the PN-1 so I use either 50th or Silverado PN with the G. Good luck with your collecting ventures...

These could be correct but electrolux137 would know. Hello SteveMP and All, I have 2 Aqua Gs and both have the same plastic snap cord keepers. I can not say they are what Elextrolux sold nor not. The hose that is attached to the PN-1 is what I understand is the first version of the cord that...
