Dominion Fan Unfortunately, this fan’s motor is toast, but I couldn’t argue with the price...FREE! I have a spare two speed motor I will mount in this baby and have it up and running soon I hope!

Today I visited two thrift shops I’ve never been to before. Didn’t expect to find anything worth bringing home, but much to my surprise, I brought home several new toys! For less than $17 I came home with two Eureka Airspeed One’s, two vintage box fans, and a Kirby Sentria I!

What the?!?! Someone didn't pay too much attention to what the bag label said before they sent it to you did they? GEEZ!

Take your Nintendo/Atari box off the VHF connector And add you one of these, OR if there are two screws on the TV side of the box, add it there: I have the same setup on my 1982 GE TV and it works just fine. The converter box works on either Channel 3 or 4 I believe, so you will want it on...

BEAUTIFUL collection! And in such amazing condition! Something to be extremely proud of and happy to display! I also spy a beautiful Electrolux XXX hiding in a couple of those photos!!

Hans Believe me when I tell you it’s TOTALLY worth the drive! I drove 4 1/2 hours each way, and plan to do it again before winter! I left with a truck bed FULL of vacuums, and I couldn’t have beeen happier!! Steve

Thanks everyone! I'm nervous about this venture, but I think it will be a good one! I already own a newer E2 Rainbow, so I can at least demonstrate both machines for them, and they can see both of them side by side and in action. I figure that would be a good way to help them decide if they...

Shop/Online I am actually in the process of getting a shop set up at my house, but for the time being, I will be selling online as much as possible. I'm starting slowly on this, that way I don't have a ton of overhead to start off with! I will eventually set up a website as well, but that's TBA!

Welcome to the group! If you’re looking for a lot of vacuums to kickstart your collection, I’d recommend a trip to Elizabethton Tennessee to see my friend Jimmy Martin. Take a look at the thread “Vac Shop Clean Out and Downsize” I was there yesterday and posted over 60 photos of some of the...

Last set Whew! And this is just the tip of the iceberg!!

The Haul..... Oh my goodness! What can I say, Jimmy has a TON of stuff...words (or photos) can’t begin to scratch the surface! I basically stood in there staring in awe!! Jimmy is such awesome host and a valuable wealth of knowledge!! I can’t thank him enough! I’m loaded down with vacuums...

Beautiful Downtown Elizabethton I’ve officially made it here! Now for a bite to eat, then some fun digging through a lot of vacs and parts!! More to come as the day progresses!!

Hooverforsale This is a common question that gets posed to the group quite often, someone is either looking to sell a vintage vacuum they’ve owned for a while but don’t need, or inherited from a loved one, etc. The truth is there’s not a definitive value one can place on a machine. A lot of...

Canister vacs at Walmart. I honestly haven’t seen a canister vacuum at my local Walmart in a very long time. I don’t know if it’s just a local thing or not.

Well, I went out on a limb, and I may regret it, but as of yesterday, I am officially a dealer for the Sirena Vacuum Cleaner system. I’ve debated on this for sometime now, and I’ve closely read the few reviews I’ve seen here, and I decided it was time to pull the trigger! So, with that said...

Jimmy Looking forward to seeing you again tomorrow! I’ve been looking forward to this ALL week!!!

$50 for the pair?? Jump on it! That’s a GREAT deal!!

Electrolux What you have there is a Brown 1401-B Olympia One, and a mauve/dusty rose colored 1521 Marquis. Both are excellent machines. The O-One is an older model, made between 1978 and 1982, and the Marquis made between 1987 and 1988. Both have updated motors from the 1205 you grew up...
