Early Kenmores I would love one of the late 50s/ early 60s Kenmores. The Whispertone, Aurora etc. Too bad they're hard to find. Good luck on your quest and welcome to the group. -Tyler

Bison The term 'Prefer local pickup' scares some people off. The machine also has a limited market, even more limited now that it's broken. Good luck on your sale. Maybe try posting a price or something that you are looking for, this is also in the wrong forum too. -Tyler

Kenmore Saturn Hi Charlie, did you end up selling the Kenmore Saturn?

Thank you For the replys, I have or will try to contact you both. The main factors are condition and price, I bet shipping from overseas will be just as much as the vacuum, but we'll see. Thank you again, - Tyler

Hello, I have always wanted a Hoover 700, I presently have an all original Model 450. It would be great to get the 700 in original condition, but most importantly the bag. I love these coffee can Hoovers. If someone could point me in the right direction or have one that they are selling, that...

Interested. Please let me know how much you would like and how much shipping is to 61103. Thank you. - Tyler

Thank You! Thank you everyone for the kind words and the information on the vacuum! I guess I did good, which is great to hear. Kenkart, I have never been to that Barbecue place, I will have to check it out! I plan on going back to North Carolina in the beginning of April, and already can't...

Hello everyone, Hope everything is going great for everyone and happy new years! I spent just over a week visiting with my mom and grandma in Greensboro, North Carolina. I was on craigslist, and found this vacuum. Anyways, the vacuum followed me home back to Rockford. This is my first Universal...

Hello everyone,hope all is well for everyone. I am looking for Air-Ways, mainly the uprights. But I am also interested in canisters. Post pictures or email me what you have. Really would love to find a twin motor upright, but I know those are very hard to find. Still if someone is wanting to...

I know the guy who had this Power Nozzle, so glad it's apart of the museum for all to enjoy. -Tyler

Wow.. I would never pay that much for a G. Even if it was in my own town, the most desirable Model G though is the Hospital version. Ebay's prices have inflated alot since I first started going on it. Quite a bit of money. It is in great shape though. Although the hose isn't original and there...

Caligula I agree cb123! That is my favorite Electrolux. I love the styling, the colors. Everything about that machine is just beautiful. That is one Electrolux I have been looking at for a long time. The old Electroluxes are hard to beat. They are amazing machines. -Tyler

Favorites and Least Favorites I generally love all vintage vacuums from Rainbow to Hoover and everything in between. Although, some stick out as being better to me. I have two Air-Way's and they are fantastic. Perfect for my house. Kirby is my favorite machine all around. Just my opinion. The...

Scott Thank You for the info on the bags. Those bags look like they would filter better than the original ones. The originals are quite thin. But you did suggest ebay Scott haha. Glad I have found out more about this machine. It's alot more interesting than I thought. -Tyler

I may do just that. I would like to find replacement parts. Calling them about this machine may make them wonder LOL. Another option I have been told is that I look on UK ebay for parts. But not many people would ship over here to the states. Thanks everyone for the info.

Pictures Here are more pictures of the machine. There is a tab that goes over the bag to seal it and I don't have it. So I taped it shut. This machine won't see much use since bags and other things for it will be hard to find. -Tyler

Thanks everyone for the info! The data plate says it was Made in Japan for Metropolatian Vacuum Company. I am quite surprised something this special showed up on my doorstep. The brushroll can be turned on and off with the switch on the head of the machine. The belt goes onto a side bearing...

Hello everyone, I put an ad on craiglist saying that I was looking for vintage vacuums. Well, this guy had a vacuum and he said it was a Metro Turbo 2000. That intrigued me, I never heard of such a thing. I picked up the machine and some tools for a fair price. The machine works well and comes...
