Hello All, Thanks, I got may question answered on Thread No. 23408. Thank you for looking, Pete

Hello All, A curiosity question regarding the Eureka Power Nozzle on this Air-Way. Does this use the standard Eureka motor to power the brush roll? Did they leave the Eureka fan in it as working like Eureka's upright vacuums? Thank you for looking, Pete

Kenmore 5 Way Cleaning System Hello All, There might be some interest in this Thread perhaps. The Thread has more info. Thread Number: 35802 & Post# 385070 , Reply# 13 I have only used it to clean the carpet in one of the cars and it did a good job. Good luck with your Kenmore Luxkid1980 Thank...

Hello All, Is it Art, Creative or what? Drat, the cord winder still works. Thank you for looking, Pete

Hello All, I find this Electric Sweeper Vac really interesting as it could switch from straight suction to motor driven brush with suction. I think they were manufactured in around 1919 or early 1920's. The diagram of the Electric Sweeper Vac is from www.vintagehoover.com which shows how it...

Hello All, I believe you will have to tap/pound the roll pin out of one of the ends and pull on the other end and it should then come apart. I can not say I remember exactly as it has been years since I did it. There are a few new ones on eBay just look up Eureka CWP 244 and it should bring up...

Illustrations of Old Models Hello All, I figured that this should be added to this Thread rather than starting a new one. I find these old Hoover models interesting and I hope you do also. Vacuumland if full of information from past Threads and I find it fun to revisit them. These came off a...

Hello All and kirby519, I did not realize the booklet had a copyright date of 1910. I guess all old upright vacuums had attachments available for them and this Hoover's look really complete. I found the instruction for cleaning the bag and the sealing really interesting. I believe the booklet...

Hello All, One has to remember that many of the collectors of the older vacuums started collecting them years ago when these older machines could be found easily. I am really fond of the early Singer vacuums like the R1, but there is no way I will pay $1,000.00 for one. Thank the Lord there...

Hello All, Well this is a rather interesting item which was sold as an option to the Shake-out cloth bag. I read that it would also fit Hoovers back to 1917 which I guess would be Model N or Model 102. All this I learned for a really old Thread No. 4075 that portable Posted 07-16-2008 titled...

Wow, that is lots of money Hello All, I see the Singer R4D is back on eBay. I have to agree with dysonman1 that some members have their Singers. I have 3 of those great machines; R1, R4 and R4D. I thought I paid a lot for my R4D but no way near what this one is on eBay for. Good luck on...

I see you have both of the machines on eBay. They are both nice machines.

This is really troublesome, I have wrapped that darn cord the wrong way and have caused a stampede.

Sort of an interesting mix of colors and parts.

Figure 8 Is your Bison cord wrapped correctly?

I forgot to mention Hello All and Kirby_Owner, If the conversion zip bag does not breath easily as the one I have pictured in this Post, it will defiantly cause air flow restriction. Also the seal on the adapter may be no good and need replacing which is also pictured. The inner sleeve could...

Conversion Bags for Kirby were not made by Kirby Hello All and Kirby_Owner, This type of Zip Bag will use F&G Eureka type paper bags. To the best of my knowledge they were never ever manufactured by Kirby. I believe Kirby would get upset if you put one on your new Kirby back in the day. There...

Sounds like markhenry might need this? Hello All, I just bought this a few days ago and it sort of fits in this Thread. I was told they took it out of the box, tried it and then put it back in the box. Only one tool shows signs of use. The power head has never been used. On the Sears label...

Hello All and 2011hoover700, Sorry my mistake as I misunderstood your question. I would have to agree with Louvac's reply of not putting the converter on while the vacuum is running. Why is it important to install the converter while the vacuum is running? Thank you for looking, Pete

Hoover Attachment Set U4901 Hello All and 2011hoover700, The set in the picture is Hoover Attachment Set U4901 which would be used on Hoovers such as my Hoover RS that is pictured above that are the economical Hoovers. I do not remember if you leave the belt on or not as I do not own the set...
