Thanks! I will also try the Keurig Coffee maker cleaner and see it that works. Stay Tuned!

Hey Guys! Anyone an iron collector, also? I have a Proctor Silex steam iron model I913L that will not steam no matter I have tried to do, including using a solution of white vinegar and water to unclog it. It doesn't seem to be clogged and it doesn't appear to have been used very much. What gives?

Hey guys! Several months ago--maybe a year ago--someone posted a comment on here about their favorite song of all time. I played it and liked it a lot. Now, I can't find it! I thought it was a song by Blondie and it was really upbeat. Do you know who you are or does anyone remember the song...

You can also use You can also use a cosmetic/makeup rounds--the flat ones. Get them at the dollar stores or WallyWorld. Then, you can use any of those oil fragrances sold in the small bottles with the dropper. For some you may have to buy the dropper separately. Or simply put the round cotton...

Hey Guys! I have the machine above and I was wondering if someone who has one can answer a question for me? Does the top of the bag, mount to the handle via a screw which passes through the bag docking station, thru the small hole in the outer bag, and then screws into the handle? And, are...

Thank You Thanks Hershel, for your input. Actually, I referenced the wrong model though I do have the S246i. I need the hose for a model S248i. By the way, Miele may be a great vacuum, but it's way over-priced and over engineered. Their parts and accessories are based on MAP pricing. I...

Hey Guys! I'm looking for a Miele canister electric hose for a model S246i in really good condition. Does anyone have one for sale? From what I have heard from a Miele dealer, these older hoses are no longer being made by Miele. There is also no known after-market replacements either. At this...

There is still nothing like a face to face event! I hear you guys about the streaming thing but meeting someone in person and making new friends is the way to go! Stay tuned. More details to comee.

Hello Gentlemen! I am working on an idea with a fellow collector/enthusiast. Our idea is to host a small appliance convention for those who collect other appliances besides vacuum cleaners, washers, dryers, mixers, toasters, irons, fans, well, you get the idea! We could host it at a hotel with...

Hey Guys! Hope everyone is enjoying the summer months! I sure am as it's my time of year! Do any of you fan collectors have a center medallion (I don't know if this is the proper name for it) for a Montgomery Wards metal oscillating fan for sale? This is a nice fan that has substantial...

Newsletter suggestions Hi John, Long time no speak (pardon the pun!) One thing that makes the newsletter most resourceful is to have pictures labeled and with the names of the people in them, and pictures of machines with the model numbers listed with production years listed (perhaps in...

The weird sound you describe Hi Tom! The sound that your 65 makes may be due to new motor brushes that were installed before you got it. I would ask the seller if you can. They may not have disclosed this when they sold it. Wouldn't hurt to ask. If the brushes are new, it will take a little...

Glad to help! Hey Guys! This has just been my experience. It does make sense that you should grease interlocking gears, but in this case the gears are not operating at any great speed--they're just a notch or stopping point. So, is grease really necessary?

The reason why The reason why you don't want to grease the height control mechanism is because the grease is what causes the slipping. This is what I have been told. Greasing the mechanism would also attract more carpet fuzz and dirt to stick to the metal.

I've had the same issue I've had the same issue with several Kirbys over the years and discovered that someone at some time tried to grease the height adjustment mechanism which is what caused the slipping. I was told by a Kirby repairman that the height adjuster should not be greased (or...

Thanks Guys! I will give the screw driver trick a try. They seem to almost be stuck for some reason.

Hey Guys! Can someone tell me how the hell to separate the body halves of an Electrolux Epic Canister? https://www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?26026 This thread explains it but I am having a hell of time getting the "locking keys", the white ridged strips that join the two...

So, ... So, you mean to say that all of them came with the matching plastic screw but once broken off were replaced with the metal black washer/screw?

Regarding the metal black screw... I thought the same! Seems like they were trying to cut corners somewhere. OR, it could have been a supply/manufacturing issue that needed another alternative.
