    Identification of a vintage canister model unknown brand

    It's a Regina money made vacuums, polishers, and some carpet cleaners, well into the 90's. I don't know enough about them to know what year it is though. I'm guessing 60's. I'm sure someone here will know exactly. I thought it was a Westinghouse when I first saw it, because some of theirs looked...

    Royal PowerCast - Used Parts

    Vintage..... Actually, this is not a vintage machine, and isn't as old as you might think. It has a classic look, but is a modern machine. They can still be found new, or nearly new from time to time.

    Regina ElectrikBroom

    Nice surprise! That's very sweet. I've lived with the same person for 16 years, even though we're not "together". We've butted heads plenty of times over the years, over vacuums, but now and then, he will find one for me, or help me get in if it's something I really want. We live together like...

    RAINBOW SCORE

    Why on earth would anyone sell not one, but two such valuable machines, for such low prices, knowing they were worth so much more? Anyway, great deal. I am needing a hose for my e2 black, so if you should happen to want to sell the 8 foot one that came with yours, let me know. I can't believe...

    I have never seen such a terrible "Repair" on a Kirby

    @ that last reply........... Wow! Smh.

    Has anyone else ever owned this hooover ?

    Congratulations....... I guess. It's always nice to hear when someone finds a childhood machine, or one of their dream machines. In other news: I'm getting old, apparently.

    Oh Lawdy, Another Seller Smokin' the Funny Stuff

    LOL I don't think even Harry Martin, of the "handy dandy" company, could sucker Lucy into that deal. Not even with his shifty sales pitch, lol!

    misc Electrolux plastic canister parts (2100 series)

    Motor What's the condition of the motor? I mean does it sound normal, run smoothly, etc? I have a 6500 that I need to replace the motor in, and this is the same kind. Mine runs, and is powerful, but it's loud as hell. Abnormally loud. Anyway, I'm looking for a good motor, just can't swing a new...

    Bissell Dirt Devil Eureka Dyson Royal Electrolux Hoover Vacs

    I might be interested in One of those Electrolux epic 6000 tanks, if they run good, and sound like they should. I'm looking for a good motor to put in my 6500. Mine is like brand new, from bumper to bumper, one owner, and barely used, yet the motor is very loud compared to what it should sound...

    Kenmore "sears best" magicord

    Shipping cost.... A silver king is such a big machine though. Do you think that big of a box is necessary for the Kenmore? The box I shipped my green one in was about the size of a box that a new Kenmore canister would come in. I don't know though, I haven't shipped anything in a while, so it...

    Kenmore "sears best" magicord

    I would love to have it, I've been wanting a decent blue one for years. If you happen to not sell it by the end of the month, I will take it on January first. I can't afford it until then. I don't know what the shipping will be, but if it's too much, I could swing it if you could take a few...

    Tristar MG2

    Mg2 Patrick, if you see this, where did you find the wider floor brush? I just got an mg2 but it'd missing the floor brush, and small attachments. It's a really good vacuum, and in mint condition. Got it for $12.99! I'm not crazy about the one stage motor, but it'll do. I'll have to say though...

    $10 Diamond Jubilee at Goodwill

    Bag door screw.... As long as the other one is good and tight, you won't have any problems with it missing that screw. Not much stress is put in that area really, except when you pull it by the hose, but the bag door latch takes most of that pressure. Anyway, if you want to know what kind of...

    Searching Kirby Legend 2/ Geeration 3

    Auto correct/spell check, is your friend. Usually. Please forgive my snarky sounding post, for I mean no harm. I'm just in a terrible mood, and,as such, I'm more apt to point out a blatant spelling or grammar faux pa. The words you were trying to use were quieter, and nostalgia. Don't feel bad...

    Is it worth the work?

    Definitely worth a shot Olympias typically clean up beautifully. One of them doesn't even have much yellowing on the top trim, which is unusual. They were one of the best luxs ever made, and are the same machine as the Silverado deluxe that followed. As for the hoses, yes there is a process to...

    Rainbow score of a lifetime!

    Manufacturing date Actually, 111 means it was made during the first quarter of 2011. Pretty much the same time frame though. So you have literally one of the first ones of the e2 black. Yours will have the center, flat belt power nozzle, and the canister won't have the red diagnostic light on...

    Mid 1990s Bissell Upright Infomercial

    It was called the Bissell plus. Later on, there was also a red and gray version that was sold in stores, such as Walmart, etc. I never cared for them.
