$269 is a great price on the red vibrance. With prices that low, you could probably talk the dealer down to $399 on the Silver Vibrance Premium Belt protector....worth a shot, usually dealers with prices that low aren't selling in droves.

I just got my flight arrangements made last night...can't wait to see everyone. I get to see a lot of you TWICE this year since many of us went to VDTA in February!!!

Matt, I've known you for a few years and I had an awesome phone conversation with John a few weeks ago. You guys make me want to retire to PA- so much home cooking and so much fun! Glad you guys had a great time.

I'm going to look in storage today for the store and see if I have one Joe!

My vote is for bearings.

Gorgeous machine! That one should look brand new when you're finished.

Cute post.... It is interesting to see what you guys conceptualize as the best selling vacuum. There are a number of us on here that own stores (we have recently returned) and the numbers and statistics are all over the board. I can tell you that at VDTA this year, Dyson has touted a 28%...

I think next time this calls for a trip up to PA to meet everyone- looks like a fun time was had by all!  

Miele is definitely not what it used to be for sure.  They have some neat designs, the weight is great, and some of the power nozzles are pretty cute, but you'll never have the same quality as the Blue Moon/Aluminum era.  That said, we find it very difficult in our stores to properly sell the...

Should be two tiny screws on the right and left side of the machine under the bumper guard holding attaching the hood to the base.  

He then quoted me a price of $362 to replace those hose, br This is a summation of the status of <span style="text-decoration: underline;">most</span> Lux franchises today. They are significantly struggling.  My store is not the cheapest store, and even at full retail, a hose, brushroll and...

You guys sound like a fun bunch, I'd love to come! No matter what a store looks like on the inside, I can't imagine someone making a decent living off of being an internet showroom or competing only with big box stores! Glad we made the decision to carry a little bit of everything.

The square piece is a little thermal piece to protect the motor. We normally bypass those when replacing the motor.

Make sure the safety sensor inside of the motor is not bad- sometimes they can act screwy when repairing the machine. The temperature light is an indication of overheating while running the machine, or wiring incorrectly while putting the machine back together. CKN

Sounds like you didn't put the motor in correctly. Did you order a brand new motor or a "new to you" motor? Also, did you wire it properly? Those things are a b*tch to wire if you didn't write them on the back motor shroud.

Rex, you are correct. I was a mortician for 6 years prior to getting back into the vacuum business. Cremations are a lot more cleaner and less scary than most people imagine.

You're right Dan I think that is great that he now has the money to spend $80 on a new vacuum and take the old carpet and have it reinstalled in the new apartment. Maybe he can also buy this load of vacuums now once he re-sells that one. We are also all proud of the fact that your body is...

We use WD-40 to clean the bearings, and then thoroughly dry them with a compressor, and then apply vehicle wheel bearing grease. Do not use oil- that is just a mess, and do not use WD40 without drying the bearing afterwards. If you are doing Hoovers, make sure you pay close attention to the...

An SL3 is a horrible choice- it is not designed for commercial use. I would try an RSL5C. You're going to get a metal brushroll, lifetime belt, and a decent lightweight machine to use all over. The bottom line depends on the church's budget. Just remember, the more you spend, the better...

Tom, you are doing great things with this museum. I still have my 1923 Royal that you sent me displayed prominently in the oldest store. It is nice to see people educating youngesters on these great machines of a bygone era!
