Hoover Thank you for everything!! Im glad she did not cut it either. Those are two beautiful vacuums you have there!!

Shipping info/Thank you!! Coffeecanman!! Thank you so much! I thought it must be something simple. My dear friend offered to to cut the cord and take off the handle, thankfully she asked me first before doing so! This sounds very manageable and I think she can accomplish it. I have seen this...

I recently bought a one family owned Hoover model 700. Great buy, great condition, original bag in excellent shape, etc, etc. My problem is it is in the midwest at a friends house and I am in Atlanta! We are trying to choose the best method of shipping, and so far its so expensive it will have...

Does anyone have a "shoe bag" attachment holder available? I want to complete my model 200 Filter queen (thanks Toby Glenn). Can we see a pic of the wire attachment holder? Never have seen one. Thx!

That is a beautiful machine! I LOVE the carpet nozzel! Great for fine carpets that you dont want to beat with a brushroll, (looks like you have a nice carpet!). I only use this on my antique orientals and am very pleased with the results. The floor buffer/polisher pad that attaches to the rug...

I found this on Craigslist in Daphne Alabama. Its too far for me, or I have picked it up. Its pink, rectangular shaped and very late 50's looking. Hope someone gets it! http://mobile.craigslist.org/clt/5388261494.html

Quietest and Loudest Vac Fun Thread!! My quietest vacuum is a Eureka Roto-Matic tub from the early fifties in red. Made even quieter by the yellow fluffy toilet seat cover that is hooked onto the bottom of the machine by the tool hooks so as not to scratch her new wood floors as she pulled it...

Collecting Filter Queens Sries! Congratulations on you new Filter Queen!! You have a beautiful machine there. Filter Queen is quickly becoming my machine of choice. I have a new one, but the older ones like yours and earlier are my favorites. The part I love best are the odd things they made...

Hi Experts! I need a pet attachment for my vintage pink (or "pank") as some say Filter Queen. It is the round one with little nubs all around. I use it to groom the dogs and the nubs gave it up today. Anyone have a nice one for sale? Thanks to all in advance!

Hose Rexair! Not sure how to message you as your email is not available on your profile. I would like to talk to you about Rainbow/Rexair though! Need a few parts to finish a project. Have any?

Electrolux Hose Quandry Thank you! That makes perfect sense. I just wish I had an upright that new. None of mine have recepticals. So this one may go up for grabs!

Hi All! I am bringing this one to the experts! I found this last weekend and am not sure what it works with? Was thinking it was an Electrolux upright, but why the power plug? I am familiar with the power attachment. I recently found a Electrolux floor polisher (B-8, blue) and need...

Compact 9 rear filter removal Compact9guy! I recently did the same with my compact. Seems that the orignal ring is frequently broken from bumping or mis-handling. I found this out after talking with Tri-stars office. The gave me instructions on removal and replacement. It is very easy. I used...

Vintage Daily Drivers Living with my partner, who suffers from severe allergies, two dogs and a cat (none of whom will wipe their feet, I vacuum pretty much, every day! I have a good opportunity to choose a different vac for daily use. For true cleanliness, I regularly use my Rainbow. No...

clarke 500 I have the same Clarke 500 found at a roadside flea market several years ago. Mine came complete with "dirt-daubers" nests all thru it (bee types that build nests with mud!) After getting all that cleaned out, it fired right up. You can hardly hear it run. Unfortunately, not much...

VCCA Convention THANK YOU!!! That was amazing and truly appreciated, not only by me, but I am sure the others that did not get to go and wanted to. Hope to make next years!!!

vintage Singer I "rescued" one just like that, but with the cord rewinder, and completely disassembled and sanitized it. Runs great and very clean. Its a real "carpet grabber"!! Would like for someone to have it. Just email me if interested and for pics.

GE Handheld Congrats on the new vac! I have this hand held and the upright model that matches it. Mine was made in 1929 and I understand the handheld was a "gimme" that enticed buyers to buy the upright. I love the streamline design and the beautiful graphics on the bag. GE made GREAT machines!
