    LUX Golden Jubilee!

    Hey everybody!! I've just run across a Elextrolux Golden Jubilee. This thing is in nearly perfect shape, not banged up, power nozzle looks very nice, and the golden jubilee stickers are there and perfect! The hose has been replaced at some point, but is an original Electrolux braded hose in...

    Kirby buffing experts please...

    You've got alot of work ahead of you. I am sure that if you are persistent it may come up, but a buffer would be your best friend. When I worked for a truly great friend who owned a Kirby distributorship, as his service tech he had an amazing buffer. That thing was huge, and would take your...

    Golden Hoover brushroll...

    Don't ruin the machine! Keep the original brush roll and rebuild the brush roll. Alot of people think they are "helping" the value of old things when they change out parts or strip old wood and refinish it. The fact that it is grungy shows that the machine is old and original. If you put a wood...

    For Sale:

    Common sense should tell you..... That if they have been posted a few times, and nobody comes up with the money, or are not interested in them, then ramming down our throat by posting over and over is not going to make them "sale" here. Perhaps try SELLING them on ebay. I know you would like...

    got a free Oreck, need help (pic heavy!)

    Clayton No need for a new handle, as I stated before, and I have worked for Oreck, you need the reinforcment cap that goes over the break. Should be a few bucks, hell we used to give them away free. Visit a BONA-FIDE Oreck store and talk with the tech. As for electrical tape, take the handle...

    got a free Oreck, need help (pic heavy!)

    Handle..... The cut portion of the cord can be fixed. I cut the cord there and rewire it routing the good part in the handle. It is very handy and easy to fix. As far as the metal part of the handle, they make a reinforcement; you can get it at the Oreck store. We used to put them on as a...

    Hoover Convertible model 35?

    That has had a type A retrofit. The unit should of had a type C bag system. That is a nice machine, I have it, and I have it's sibling the 33. I think of mine as having a greenish tint. They are quiet, and they are excelent. I am unsure of the year of production.

    Kenmore canisters

    Packed with dirt! Like anything else it gets packed with dirt, because the machines are packed with neglect. No bag, or a bursted bag is what lets this happen. If only people took care of the things that cost them $400. A Kenmore canister price is nothing to sneeze at! Good for us, we get them...

    Help I.D. an upright vacuum and solve a mystery

    Not a 33! This is not a Model 33, and I will tell you why. 1. The bumper is the wrong shape and type for a Model 33. The Model 33 has three lines in the bumper, and this only has one indent. 2. The machine in question has a full bumper, and the 33 is a half bumper machine. 3. The cord is...

    Fantom Technologies mystery vac

    YES! I remember this vacuum...... Sears also had one that was called the Destiny. This is the first of the Fantom machines and was received with much fanfair. This one did not have the HEPA filter fitted (showing how early this specimen is), and IONA said that it filtered to 5 microns, and a...
