I wonder... Does it come with the matching rocker?

louvac My mistake. Technically the coil spring is part of the timer control. Its the bimetal spring which disengages the electrical contacts when the timer spring set time (sooner for light, later for dark) reaches its limit.

The point is this seller is double-listing. This practice is not allowed by Ebay. There's too great a temptation to "oversell" one's stock, then claim the shipper "lost" the buyer's purchase. Unless he's stocking his inventory "two-by-two" like Noah's ark, I'd be wary of this shop.

Good you're investigating the problem, Louvac. To my knowledge (I also had a brand new Sunbeam Radiant Toaster), the only sensor is a metal coil, like a watch mainspring. You've probably got debris lodged in the carriage track. You'll need to take the shell off in order to see the whole...

Great arrangement, Gj3476 Does this mean the Vacuum Museum of Dallas has opened?

Sebastian You could try the Manuals and Literature section. They have a '62 Dormeyer Products and Parts list you could download for $7. One of the products listed is a Mixer Model SM-9-WH Formerly 19000, SM-12-CH. I don't know if their parts list includes optional extras or not, its too small...

Great news, Steve Glad it found a good home! I've had nothing but good luck with Craigslist folks. Very accommodating about shipping (I cover the costs, of course, and throw in a few extra bux for their trouble). Just let me know what your looking for, and I'll see what turns up in my weekly...

It gets even stranger... His Ebay store page also lists: 2 Sanitaire 635a 2 Sanitaire 645a 2 Koblenz u-110 Each pair has the same price/picture as its mate.

I love the really old "Firsts", and the non-electric sweepers and vacs. The early inventors were ingenious about sucking dirt off carpets without a motor. Of course the electrics do a much better job. When people see my collection they "seem" interested. But I think they'd rather fit me in a...

Ver nice array, larryeddy It would be great if you could rig up a strong shelf above the back row's handles to put the front row vacs on. That way every unit could be clearly seen.

Hey niclonnic Check out Vintage thread #18484 to see if that stirs any memories.

Hey Oreck_XL If you want to try and clear up those frosted bulbs, this link might help. http://homesteady.com/how-6080597-clear-etched-glass-old-windows.html

I agree with Robert (bvac6) The words one selects for listing titles become the search tags used by search engines to target certain pages. Choose the most popular search words to gain the most traffic to your page.

This is from a listing on Craigslist St. Louis area. Call or text 314-504-6848. It was posted 1/14.

Talk about nightmare... When my friend and I moved into our current rental house, it hadn't been occupied in 6 months. It was crawling with cockroaches, centipedes, spiders, termites, etc. We worked for 6 weeks sealing every crack and gap in the walls, floor and ceiling. When we pulled out the...

How much did Kenney make? Did a little figuring from the chart above. Just for the years 1919 through 3/1924, the Kenney patents paid Mr. Kenney about $3.3M. In todays equivalent dollar, that equates to roughly $45,000,000!

This is an excerpt from a book by that name. It explains some of the earliest history of the Vacuum Cleaner Business in the U.S.

Gj3476 The highest patent number is from 1969, with others pending. So, 1970-71 possibly?

The way that decal is so irregularly applied seems like the work of an individual whose last name was Jurisko, and not the name of some obscure company. But, many an Electrolux XII was rebranded Goblin in the UK.
