    Seattle Mini Meet

    That Lewyt 88 sure does look familiar. ;) Wish I could have been there though. :(

    What is your favorite upright...of all time!

    It's really hard to choose, I like my Hoover 61 a lot since it's in nice shape, cleans well, and has good looks.

    Kenmore Duopower

    Last Friday I went to the Salvation Army (first time going to a thrift store in months) and they had a mint green Kenmore Duopower upright. It was $9.99, but it was half off day. Didn't buy it because the plastic cover over the head was cracked (to be honest, it didn't feel like a very solid...

    Anyone in the Seattle Area?

    If the both of you want, we can all meet at Karl's shop in Kirkland and have our vacuum talk and trading there. I can ask my parents if they'll take me, they can find something to do in Kirkland while we have a mini-meet.

    Anyone in the Seattle Area?

    That 89 is really nice looking too! I don't have any Electroluxes, but if you're interested I have a Miele S5 Canister I could trade you for it also. Here is a picture of the Lewyt.

    Anyone in the Seattle Area?

    Doug, It looks nice to me! I've been looking for an Electrolux for a long time now, never had much luck finding one. I've always liked the red/white Canadian Electroluxes, I remember seeing one of these on eBay in the US, it was one of those things that I loved but never bid on it. I will get...

    Anyone in the Seattle Area?

    Doug, The Lewyt is a model 88. It has one ding on the lid that you should be able to pop back out carefully. The cord and plug is original, but the end is taped up with electrical tape. If you cut off about and inch and a half of the cord and replace the plug it would be fine. The hose is a...

    Anyone in the Seattle Area?

    Hello Doug, As for places, there is a Kirby Service Center in Burien, Washington. They have a back room full of Kirby's and other cool vacuums. I haven't been there in a long time ever since it went under "new management". The guy I dealt with was nice but I have no experience with the new one...

    What is your favorite Hoover Convertible?

    I also have a Golden Model 65, it was found on Craigslist a few years back for $5. I have a brand new hood for this that a very generous club member sent me, it'll get installed soon and I'll post pics when it's on. My other favorite would be the Pink Model 65. Alex

    Have ye seen the "Bewitched" DAM???

    Wasn't the Dial-a-Matic in one of the early episodes from the first season? If so, I DID see Samantha vacuuming with it! Can't remember the color though, my memory isn't that good. BTW, I'm just getting into the Bewitched series... :)

    Sad trip to becoming Vintage

    Was it that Viking place or A-1 Vacuum in downtown Renton? Both of those shops suck, the owners were rude to me, and I got a similar story at Viking when I asked if they had any parts for a Kirby model 509. Go to Super Sew & Vac in Kent, much friendlier service and he has a much wider selection...

    [color=lavender]Hoover Convertible 33 bumper[/color]

    Would anybody happen to know where I can find a bumper for a Convertible model 33 Special? A bag is also needed but I doubt I'll be able to find an original. Thanks.
