Hey John! Hi John! I would love a copy of the ad!

Thanks so much. It's a big help. I would love to find the manual that talks about the Hoover owner insisting that her servant empties the bag after each use.

Hey Guys! Can anyone tell me where I can find a vintage Hoover ad? I am working on a history project in school with juniors. We are studying the Jim Crow laws and the post civil war. I am looking for the ad that depicts the African American woman who says her folks just bought her the Hoover. I...

Super Nice! I love that model for some reason-it's simple, well made, and it's a great cleaner! It might have something to do with the fact that it's also blue! If the machine's blue...I gotta have it! Nice job! Where did you find it?

If you're interested I will find out and get back to you Are you interested in it?

Shipping detail It also helps after you packaged it up to put it inside of another box in other words do you want to over box it. What I have always found out it's mostly the bowls that don't survive shipping.

I have a vintage Sunbeam Model 12 white stand mixer for sale. Need to let a few of these go. It's in good shape considering it's almost 60 years old. Shows some signs of age. Email me if interested. Price is $15 plus shipping.

Yes Yes, Caleb, I still have it! Are you still interested in it?

Hey Guys! I was given a Eureka upright model 2314. It's the domed hood in chrome with blue "brocade-ish" bag with the vertical Eureka emblem. I would consider it near mint except for the bag flange which connects to the bottom of the machine. There is a small hole and some spider cracks. It...

Revised Version Caleb, My new-in-box model is the revised version which was corrected. Let me know if you are interested.

Thanks, Guys! So...I guess the Ammonia and water is the best way to dissolve the old wax because ammonia does breakdown wax. I was wondering whether or not it would compromise the integrity of the brush itself. But, I will try all options offered! Thanks again guys!

Hey Guys! Does anyone know how to clean the floor brushes of a floor polisher? I was told that they need to be soaked in ammonia to break down the dried wax. Even though they often appear to be clean, when you run the machine on a linoleum floor, for example, they make the linoleum shine like a...

No problem, Ben Thanks, Ben, I hope you had a great 4th, too! Still haven't found that royal motor. I need two of them!

Small Appliance Convention--Who's Interested? Hey Guys! Like most of you, I also collect a variety of small appliances from Blenders to Toasters. Are there any here who would be interested in putting together an appliance convention similar to the vacuum cleaner conventions? This would be a...

Cleaning the soleplate Just clean the soleplate using 0000 steel wool. Then use a good metal polish such as Mother's or Blue Magic Metal Polishing Cream. Then, get a 100% pure Bee's Wax candle and when the iron is warm make a few lines on it to melt it and then buff it up. Man, that iron will...

Hey Guys! Can someone tell me...with the Electrolux PN5, why is it that the headlight vibrates/rattles? I took the nozzle apart and cleaned it thoroughly, replaced the belt with the missing teeth, replaced the bulb, and suctioned out all the fuzz balls and the like. All seems good. The brush...

It may be a model 4123 I have been told that this model is rare. How rare? I am not sure about this. It's the last one that featured the hood without the headlight in this "style". Also, Smow, are you interested in an another ironing board--the wooden kind? Let me know I have one for sale!

Old ironing board Smow....I believe I have the same one and I don't use it as I don't have any interest in it for some reason. It's for sale. Let me know if you are interested in. Just not sure how easy it will be to ship unless you have some ideas. Shoot me an email.

Hello Guys! I have two old GE irons from the 50's that I don't want. One is a dry iron only and the other is a steam iron with the side water bottle that attaches on the right. Both have cloth-covered cords and do heat up. I have not tested the steam iron to see if it in fact it does produce...

I hear all of you guys loud and clear! I, too, need to stop collecting. I do realize that I am more or less "rescuing" them as well as collecting them. I simply absolutely cannot resist a machine and more often than not feel like I am "saving" its life-as though its a person. I also know I am...
