And another.. This is the darker grey color used for the G4 series. Would also look fine with many vintage vacuum cleaners....

And another this hue by Kirby.... could be used for many different applications. A soft light grey, used for the later G3 series machines....

And another..... heres another hue by Kirby.... tradtional black, used on all heritage II series machines. This will work for any machine with an original black cord. If you saw my Apex at the convention...Well, this is what I used to record it...

Maybe not so futile.... Another color. this is the light grey offered on the Original heritage Series. This could work with literally anything that one could have.

This may be futile but.... This is the color of cords that they offer still. In no particular order... And you can order them right off the net, which is where I found these pics anyway... Chad This is the Rosewood color, similar to Panasonic's burgandy/brown.

Anyone have a good resource? Matt, Since Panasonic no longer offers it, that only leaves Kirby, which still offers it's colored cords still going back to the Dual Sanitronic era. Machine Call Names, and the color of thier cords respectivly.. Dual Sanitronic - Avacado Green; Classic 1CR-...

My NIB Eureka arrived! Yay! Stephen, You got a really good deal there. A NIB Eureka upright... I remember that model distinctly sold thru K-Mart, Whitmark Catalog Showrooms, Service-Merchandise and Big Wheel. They ran new around $69.95+ tax. In fact Big Wheel used to have it every Saturday...

I couldn't tell you what nozzle and motor he used.. Hey Jeff, He used a PowerNozzle from the S24/36 Series Simplicity or Riccar, and a Miele motor I believe. I'm 100% on the fact that it was a Tacony built Powerhead, wand, hose ( modified with a lux canister end ferrule, and motor from...

Just my two cents, part 2. Karl, I too more than you know understand your frustration with finding machines. It's no longer like shooting fish in a barrell. If your age information is correct, I'm only a few months older than you, so I do "remember" when you literally could walk your...

Just my two cents... Ebay, Okay IMHO putting up a link to an ebay posting isn't where the prices excalating comes from. Yes, it opens up the possibility for other(s) to see what is going on, but I believe that many people sell the site short for it's invariable power it has secured around the...

Bee-Vac or Apex? That would be an Apex, made in Cleveland Ohio. This VERY same model was feaured in my 1938 Wards Spring Summer Catalog. I of course have the TOL Apex version. However, this machine is not chrome like mine, and it does NOT have the which way handle. Also the headlight "ribs"...

uhm......Let's try here so you have some time to think t You can call me later, but I'm real bad at explaining over the phone. As I see what I write out, I can see if I can follow my own directions...LOL That said, I will try to explain this some more.... PART 2- The ends of the wires...

How do I disconect a speed switch of of a kirby classic 3. Evan, It's been a hot minute since I worked on a Kiby that old, but here's a brief explanation on how it goes. You will want to remove the phillips head screw that holds the plastic speed switch to the front of the fan housing. BE VERY...

Chad, does yours have the rocker switch, or the pedal kind? Bobby, Mine has the pedal. I know that later in the run Dirt Devil switched to the cheaper rocker setup. TTI, or therin any of their lines tend to change stuff in thruought the production run if it works too well, to something else...

what kind of belt do I buy for it? Hey Bobby... You will need to find Dirt Devil style 2 belts for this machine. They are still available thru DD, and you should have no problems finding them at your nearest vacuum store. Also, you can wash the bag on it. Becasue the bag is red there will be...

part Two..... Oh yeah, For a hot minute a few years back, and maybe still available, Dirt Devil put an upright out or two that had their version of a powerdrive as well. i think it was called the Dirt Devil Crusier. I've seen one or two with the drive motors burned out . Or the handles broke...

self propelled vacuums..... Phillip, Hoover Of course was the first to introduce Self Propelled vacuuming to the world with the Dial-A-Matic in 1967. That continued until 1978, when that line was dropped in favor of the Concept One. Hoover continued Self Propelled of course with the Concept...

Hi Alex...... A few ideas. That hood was, up till just recently; still available from The Hoover Co, coming to you in that plain white color. You may still be able to find a Hoover Service Center, which still has one of those hoods in stock. Or call as many connections, or vac stores that you...

Thanks guys.... I appreciate your comments. I did have to find a new gold headlight trim piece tho when I got it.The one that was on it was missing, and later a very beat up and long dead Hoover Model 67 supplied the piece in literally NOS form. It's painful to admit what happened to the rest...

I would also.... I would also like to add that for what you've paid for it, you've basically stole it. There were not many around in 1958, and I'm sure there are less now. Besides Fred S., Jeff P., myself and Alex including the one at the Hoover Historical Center, that makes a grand total of...
