Hello All, Does anyone have a picture or own a Montgomery Ward "Which Way" vacuum. I have heard of it but I have never seen one. Apex made a lot of vacuums back then. Thank you for looking, Pete

Hello All, Found on the Vacuumland Thread Number 21625. Could this be like the Majestic you have? We need to thank Kirbyvertibles and Dysonmam1 for their pictures. Thank you for looking, Pete [this post was last edited: 10/27/2017-14:43]

Hello Terry and All, I don't know if this is the same as the Majestic you found but check it out and let us know. Vacuumland Thread Number: 21625 Thank you for looking, Pete

Hello All, I bought a book that I was told about a number of years back. I had a customer that was a Steadicam Operator and he would kid me about all my old cars and thought I should read the book “Who Moved My Cheese?”. I have yet to read the book while I drive some of those old cars but I do...

Hello All, Sorry all I forgot to add the pictures. I did order a new brain on eBay but I have not received it yet and boy the shipping charge was horrendous. Thank you, Pete

Hello All, I have rebuilt and or restored to near new between 30 and 50 of the Electrolux G. The G is one machine I really fond of. I once disassembled 7 at once just for the fun of it and proceeded to buff, paint and repair all parts as needed for the sales floor. I would even use bondo on the...

Hello, Yes I understand, and to be honest I do not remember how the hood is removed LOL. If it were the Classic Convertible of the 60's & 70's I could tell you in a flash. I know I removed that style of hood many times at the shop. I believe it has 2 phillips/cross screws on the bottom that need...

Hello, You might check the carbon brushes as they can cause loss of power and sputtering. Remove them to check their condition and that they are not stuck in place. Good luck, Pete

Hello, If you click on Manuals & Literature at the top of the page you will find it Electrolux Users Manual (Model LX). It will cost $6.12 and you can download it. It is provided by Automatic Ephemera and they have a number of manuals that are downloadable. Nice machine and good luck with...

Hello Jason and All, You also might want to try VacParts+ Which is a division of The Henry Company. The have found or had items with were really hard to find for several of my late 20's Hoovers and a late 30's Royal. Steve Henry is really great so do contact him. In the late 70's I worked at a...

Hello All and Hoover lovers, Looks like someone found a new RS in the box. Drat, there goes my dreams of getting thousands for my poor broken RS. Well maybe I can get thousands for my nice good used one? I heard that. LOL. Now if it were that all illusive GE 111 with a headlight I would be in...

Hi Antoine and All, I understand not having the right tools you could not take it apart. The Compact is looking good without taking it apart and that is what counts. Keep the good work up and keep the videos coming. I might have a few pictures somewhere with a Compact taken apart. Thank you for...

Hi Antoine and All, I have watched several of your videos on YouTube. I liked seeing the Electrolux APP 200 and you had a lot of good information for all of us. I knew the Canadian Electrolux were not the same as the US ones. Keep the good work up. I have few Cats along with a few Vacuums but no...

Hello Compactc9guy and All, I have a question regarding painting the Compacts. I mean no harm but when I rebuilt these Compacts for the used sales floor I would take them completely apart. I knocked out the switch pad pin, the lid lock pin, the rear wheel pins and the lid pin. **Caution must be...

Hello Nicolas, I think the Hoover Senior is the same as our Convertibles so I attached a picture of the bottom of an old Convertible and those 2 screws will release the hood and you will have access to the bulb. I hope this will help you and that is a similar model to your. Good Luck, Pete

Hello All and Phillip, I had no idea the Convertibles were made up to 1992. My other RS is 0192 so it is January 1992. Am I right in thinking the Hoover Convertibles were made from 1957 to 1992? My grandparent built the new home and move into it in 1957 and they retired their Rexair Model B and...

Hello FCS3, broomvac and All, I have no need of the Hoover RS and I am not sure of it having any value. I own a Hoover RS I bought a month ago. See Thread #32212, Post #378472 and you will see the Hoover RS I bought. At the time I just thought it was a nice looking good Convertible and was going...

Hello All and Hoover lovers, Hoover Convertible is it Junk? There are 15 pictures for you to look at and decide if it is junk. The Fan #38755010 is not repairable as it has nail holes, new fan cost $14.00. Fan casing has holes and could be repaired with JB Weld or similar. The motor base plate...

Hi Brian and All, That is a great looking Electrolux 1521 Ultralux. I think you got a good price on a really clean machine and I bet it will run like new. I have a Lux G I bought years ago and I just got a Silverado off Craigslist which is no way near as nice as your 1521. I have seen too often...

Hi All, I looked around and found a Kirby 518 and light socket in it is the same as what is on my Kirby 519 so I am thinking it is correct. When I replaced the safety switch on the Omega it totally fell apart so it was a good idea to replace it. Thank you for looking, Pete
