So after some searching........ Here are three shots of the Hoover Vault. One was an outer shot, in the main hall that led westerly down the corridor. If you were to follow the hallway down, on your right hand side about five doors, you would come to the great heavy double swinging doors of...

HOW DID I MISS THAT BAG?????????? Hey John, Well..... I'm not sure how long you stayed in the products and samples room,or how far you strayed... but I strayed away a bit from my group to see the whole place. After walking in thru the double doors and just taking in the main part of the...

did you see any of the cleaners that TTI was holding onto (t Karl, Unfortunatly they were all LONG gone. The room was an empty cavernous portion of the factory. All that was left was some numbering on the shelves, and lots an LOTS of dust..LOL All that I saw to ever give the hint that vacuums...

I stood in the vauilt... a huge room with windows.Also calle Hi, Along with John, I too had the ability to stand in the "Models and Samples" room post-clean out, and have to say that the room was HUGE and had enough space to hold hundreds if not thousands of machines if properly stored. No...

Deep Breath....... I just soiled me drawers.... Be back soon... Chad

Wow...what a real rare bird you have.... Toby, What a wonderful collection you have. Besides this Westinghouse "Mobile Speed" and Lewyt Eectronic, you have a garage of dreams there. In reguards to the Westinghouse, I have never seen one of these in person, but we used to have a little old...

You also may want to check the..... Gary, You said it comes on after pushing it back and forth a few times, then once it (does) come on it flickers on and off? Hmmn. Well Fred is quite right about checking the bulb and if it's seated properly ( they have and do get misadjusted). I would just...

I wanna play.... First in the vintage category... 1. Most Beautiful -- Eureka BrandyWine PowerTeam Canister Two-Speed (canned ham Series). 2. Design -- Apex Upright ( the one I had at the convention). No one can deny that the design is pure art-deco streamlining at it's zenith. 3. Surprise...

Weapons of GRIT destruction...... Evan, good to see you posting again. The Hoover 63 is just a great vacuum all the way around, and you found one with t the original bag. Not too hard to find, but many of them frayed, and were replaced by later vinyl options thru Hoover, and bojack parts...

Does a Fairfax use a similar dirt catching system as the Fil Roger, To simply answer your question...not really. The long answer is: Fairfaxes used a paper disc in many cases as the main filtration medium. This was VERY similar to the Silver-King/ Thompson Sanitation systems, and many people...

Oh ok.... I'm slow..I did some footwork, or fingr work if you will, and found this? Is this what your looking for??? chad

Clarke Combi-Vac David, I do come across commercial vacuum cleaners in my travels. If you could supply us with a photo of what your're looking for, I would be glad to keep a look out for one If I happen to come across it. I just need an idea of what it is your looking for. I've seen a few...

I will hedge a guess that it was the early 1980's. That would have been about the time that both Eureka and Hoover began to private lable their powerheads. But for Eureka I would guess the late 1970's. Reason? Rexair/Rainbow started offering their powerhead in 1976 I believe. And they...

Fairfaxes.... Hi, I used to have one that had the Eureka Roto-Matic Powerhead labled Fax-O-Matic As well. My machine cleaned very well, and was a workhorse second vac up at my folks house for many moons. It's still up ther but the powerhead died, and I've just never had the opportunity to...

I just spoke....with my old friend Dallas..... He currently is the manager for the Detroit Branch of the Hoover Company. I called him this morning, and wanted to hear the news myself. It's true, and he's really torn up over it. He was the one who hired me into our old (defunct)Hoover...

I would want a few of each. How expensive? Dave, You should have no issue ordering several of each kind for your machines. As I said, as of last check, all of them, back to the 1967-70 Dual Sanitronic 80; are still available as NOS thru the Kirby company. www.kirby.com Option A- If your not...

And last but not least..... This lovely hue from Kirby....solid brown. This would have been with the Classic model. I've used this from recording my Hoover mdoel 28, to a replacement on a Panasonic canister Iused to have LONG ago... A hue for every purse and purpose.... By Kirby... Chad

I'm getting carried away here but to show you how many o Kirby gives the the widest array of options for hue based cords of all others. I've used them in several rebuild/restorations..and they work GREAT... This color is...Tradition blue. I used this to rebuild a Tradition, and a older Eureka...

A different hue by Kriby is.... This hue I used when I re-corded my Sunbeam Courier that i no longer own. It's a perfect match-all 1970's vacuum cleaner color green. If your still confused (think *Hoover Convertible model 707*). chad

Another cord by Kirby..... Another color fo cord by Kirby is... this one which is red. I used this very color to record my Eureka D-272, with beautiful results...
