    Looking to Buy Electrolux Commerative Edition

    Chris Look back through the archives. A few months ago, I believe someone posted a “new in the box” CE Lux. Might be worth looking into! Good luck with your store!

    Vintage Magnavox TVs from the 1960's? which were/are best?

    Mini RCA Consoles Apparently I’m a magnet for these mini TV’s! I happened to be on an auction site I visit (not eBay though), and found this little gem......popped a bid of $8 on it and believe it or not, I actually won it! So, here’s my second 9” RCA console television that’s in perfect...

    Vintage Magnavox TVs from the 1960's? which were/are best?

    Good place to find them..... There are several places to find them online...of course your location to the seller is a MAJOR factor as most of these are HUGE and HEAVY! But I find them quite regularly on sites like Craigslist, eBay, shopgoodwill.com, and EBTH. In fact, a 30 second search on...

    Vintage Magnavox TVs from the 1960's? which were/are best?

    60’s TV’s I’ve not owned any vintage Maganavox televisions before, but I do LOVE vintage television sets in general. I have an Admiral and a Zenith console tv from the 50’s that I’m in the process of restoring. Then I have an adorable little 9” RCA that is a miniature version of the large...

    Unknown Vintage Prop Vacuum In "Deadline Auto Theft"

    Deadline Auto Theft I haven't watched that movie in AGES! That was a classic H.B. Halicki film! Same guy that created Gone in 60 Seconds and The Junkman! I do recall that scene with the guy stoned off his gourd and the old vacuum! Thanks for bringing this up!

    Vacuum Buying Question...

    Buying on looks...... Absolutely! One of my last eBay purchases was based on the looks of the machine! At this moment, it’s physically IMPOSSIBLE to use this vacuum because I don’t have a power transformer for it, and it’s 220 volts...do I regret my purchase? No way! This thing is SUPER...

    ozone generator

    Ozone Generator I have an older model Ozone generator, a Salon Aire 2000, that was given to me years ago when one of my former employers was cleaning some junk out. It runs very well, and is super effective at cleaning the air of foul odors, but my wife couldn't stand the ozone "smell" in the...

    Rainbow vacuum ?

    Rainbow It has been said before, and it's very true about a Rainbow vacuum. They aren't for everyone! I have five of them (six if you count a parts machine) ranging from a Model B (small, black metal vacuum) all the way up to the newest model with the lighted basin. I have two of the D4 SE...

    If you could have one vacuum NOT available in your home country...

    Vacuum I can't get here..... Mine would definitely be one I have been after for what seems like FOREVER. I know for the past four or five years, I have been hounding Godfrey's in Australia and Sauber to send me one of their Excellence vacuum systems. We have something here similar to it in...

    !!!ISO!!! Hoover Electric Skillet Cord Model 8600

    Hoover Cord/Temp Control If I’m not mistaken, most of the 8600 series Hoover cooking appliances had a cord/temp control module that did NOT include the temp probe on the end. Growing up, my mom had an old Hoover electric skillet and I am pretty sure that’s how it’s cord was set up. I looked...

    Electrolux Model XXX Upgrade?

    Eurekastar That's a really cool setup you've got there! I have modified a couple of XXX's like that as well, and I've run into major issues with the gaskets as well. In fact, I have one that I LOVE that has a brand new two-stage Ametek motor in it, but because I don't have the gaskets in...

    Pre-War Electrolux XXX on eBay

    Les Oh absolutely! While I do have an XXX that I do use occasionally to clean my house, the pre-war models don't show up that often on eBay, and quite frankly, I think it's fairly reasonably priced. I would be interested in it myself, but I already have some pre-war models like it, and have...

    Pre-War Electrolux XXX on eBay

    This isn’t my listing, and I don’t know the seller, but I ran across a pre-war XXX (model 30) Electrolux vacuum on eBay tonight and thought I’d share it with you guys in case anyone might be interested in it...

    Impulse buy of the year!

    It has arrived!! I was as excited as a little kid at Christmas to open this big box today! FedEx was supposed to deliver it yesterday, BUT due to an error with them reading the address incorrectly, it got bumped up a day! Nevertheless I now have possession of my very first European vacuum...

    Today’s Cleaning Ensemble

    I completely agree I have run across these old Electrolux vacs and they would be so dirty, dusty, and rusty that I would think “there’s no way on earth that poor old thing could run.....”. More than once have I had my face filled full from a nice big dust cloud as that old motor purred to life...

    Today’s Cleaning Ensemble

    I’m feeling a bit nostalgic today, so for my housekeeping duties, I decided to go the classic route! For the few carpeted areas, I used one of my favorite upright vacuums, my Hoover Convertible U4127. This is one of the first uprights I ever remember using as a kid, so it only fitting to have...

    Impulse buy of the year!

    Thanks Guys! I just received notification from the seller that it shipped! I think it looks a lot like the Aerus Guardian Platinum as well, which is one of the main draws I had to it! I’ve looked into a step up converter in the event I manage to find enough parts to make a useable machine out...

    Impulse buy of the year!

    I needed this thing like I needed a hole in the head, but the price wasn’t too bad and shipping was free! So I am now the owner of a Lux International 220V 1 Royal! Anybody know much about them, or where I might begin my quest to find parts? Thanks!

    My Electrolux model v

    Adin Unless, he's gotten rid of it lately, your boss has one that's in REALLY nice condition best I could tell. I tried to talk a blue streak to talk him out of it, but he wouldn't budge on it! LOL!
