To this day My parents STILL refer to it as a sweeper! I worked with a lady who called them vacuum sweepers, which I always found amusing. I call them by their brand names, or just refer to them as a vacuum....

Happy Birthday Hans......... And I'm sitting over here drooling over your parts cache! What a GREAT present! Enjoy!

Childhood Vacuum Somewhere shortly before or after I was born, my mom bought a brand new Electrolux Olympia One. She and her younger sister bought identical machines at the same time and growing up that's all I remember being around as her sister would babysit me when I was little. The...

Jimmy Not only am I hoping to get up there to see you sometime this fall before your big clean-out is over, I have ulterior motives for coming as well.....I don't know about you, BUT I am absolutely itching for a good trip to Ridgewood again! For those of you that haven't been to see Jimmy or...

Tom I’d say Kirby wants as least to do with this vacuum for a reason. There are others that know a lot more about the history of the Bison, and you can probably search the archives for a much better idea of it, but as I understand it, the person who invented the Bison used to work for Kirby...

Variable speed GE motor They have a VERY powerful motor in them, and that rheostat will turn it from a nice pleasant hum into a roaring lion! http://https//youtu.be/Bn34HuK_3lI

Charles Gareth Sheen posted some time back about a Columbus polisher/vacuum that he had in SA. I found a photo of his, while not exactly like the one you have shown, it's pretty close:

They're Cheap..... And you'll get what you pay for, BUT I have owned several of these and for quick pick ups, they're actually pretty good little machines! http://https//www.walmart.com/ip/Eureka-Quick-UP-Bagless-Stick-Vacuum-with-Motorized-Brush-Roll-169J-Red/12174201

Charlie I've messaged you. Thanks!

Mike Did I hear correctly that this model has a brushless motor in it like the newer Rainbows?

John I’ve never had an opportunity to attend any of the conventions (either the VCCC or the Tacony) mainly due to the distance from me and the lack of interest from my wife. If one was held here in the east, I would definitely be interested in trying to attend! I believe I’ve heard you’ve had...

Tom I too got scammed by a "member" a few years ago. I don't know if this person is on here anymore or not, as I gave up and moved on with my life, but this person was offering a very nice Filter Queen at a reasonable price. I had purchased another vacuum from them in the past, and while it...

If I recall...... Isn't this a continuation of the "How to cook a turkey in your dishwasher" that came out around Thanksgiving last year? It seems I recall reading something about that anyway (although my memory isn't as good as it used to be though!). I've not personally tried it, but I do...

543 That's not a bad price at all for that machine....I've seen ones in a LOT worse condition selling on eBay for MUCH more than the asking price!

Here’s the rest..... Of my toys; I haven’t taken a recent one of my electric meter lamp, but here’s a photo of what it looks like too! One thing I can say, I may be eclectic, but there’s plenty of conversation starters when you walk into my office!!

Nathan! I believe you are correct! I've carried it from office to office with me, but I think it is one I got from you. It runs amazing, and I'm 99.999% sure the motor has been serviced at some point because it seems to have a substantial amount more power than some of my other XXX's. I LOVE...

Well, I have taken a new job, and have a new office......time to start bringing some personal touches to it. The person before me had a planter on top of the bookshelf that leaked and made the top of the shelf look rather ugly. To cover it up, I figured I needed to add something that would...

Rob I too grew up in the 80's and had ONLY seen the sets with the simulated wood on them. In fact, I STILL have my old GE color television from '82 (first tv I ever owned!) that has the simulated wood. These mini RCA consoles are slightly older (late 60's) and still use vacuum tubes. The...

And Handle.... Needs some cleaning, but appears to be in decent condition! http://https//www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Electrolux-Model-XXX-30-CARRYING-HANDLE-Canister-Vacuum-Cleaner-Part/323242847355?hash=item4b42c66c7b:g:pOkAAOSwhWFaTsLZ
