Awesome!! We don't have anything so ingenious in the States. I love clever "old tech". Especially manufacturers who kept peoples' tight household budgets in mind. Museum quality restoration BTW. Its OK that you collect vacuums. (We at Vacuum Collectors Anonymous are here to help) :)

No problem I'm assuming...that the electric version of the hoses Vacuumciti sells come in various lengths, and already have the correct type of electrical connections on them. But you'd need to contact them to make sure. If they don't have electrical connectors on them, you can simply get an...

Everybody got theirs yet?

Hey ND, If you're trying to separate the flex hose from the black plastic coupling, then you want to free up the red & blue wire combo from the handle switch console. (I don't know what I'm talking about, but it sounds good). That R/B wire combo ends in a male plug (like a telephone land-line)...

Try Youtube There's a few vids on modern vac hose repair/replacement. This screenshot includes the video url at the top. Its not the exact same Kenmore progressive, but they probably used the same connection design for yours.

In the pictured example they provide, this thicker, stiffer older type of hose uses its end attachments as "feet" resting on the floor, and helping take the weight off the hose. The hose doesn't seem to "hang" from the wall hook, the hook merely keeps the hose standing upright on its own.

The best way is to contact their customer service Email: [email protected] Phone: 703-635-7521 Measure the length of hose needing replacement. If it has fittings on either end, allow 4" to 6" more. measure the hose diameter, both outer and inner. Choose a color. When you contact them, tell...

One possible source Hey normadesmond, I'm from Minneapolis FYI You're right about not so old parts quickly going obsolete. That's why most people work on their own stuff. If you're game... There's a distributor of (what they call) vacuum hose varieties. Vacuumland members are experienced pros...

Home Depot's Halloween deco goes from "spooky" to "kooky"

Close to home I'm building a small collection of early elec/non-elec vacs; early electric toasters; and, early elec/non-elec mixers. Plus other early electric small appliances. My neighbor saw them and said, "That's CRAZY !" But, I think preserving history is less crazy than letting it all...

Here's a better image

(Sorry for the fuzzy res)

Hey Zephyrlux This might get you started.

I'm thinkin' this is a WTF 2000. Anyone else have a clue?

Is this a new acquisition? Hey Bvac6, I recently saw one of these rare birds on craigslist. There's 2 versions, I believe. A straight rugsucker such as the one pictured, and a belt-driven brushroll model (perhaps a newer innovation?). There's several interesting past posts about Delcos Frank

The "bug" that bit me I found a 1916 Eureka upright in the attic of a duplex The owner gave it to me. I cleaned it, rewired it, and polished it up. Since then I've been hooked on "Old Tech".

Possible ebay find Hi Evilvacuumman, You have very expensive tastes!. Try listing #132282969640 This is vac and PN with hose only. But, maybe those extra attachments could be ordered?

Beautiful Machine Bvac6 With the G.E. corp. logo, the Kenney patent tag, and side air slots on the motor housing, I'm guessing your Eclipse dates from 1915-1920? If you ever get tired of it, I've got a nice place for it! Frank

Looks delish!! I hope you made enough for everyone.

Worth the effort I'm sure your Fedelco appreciates the "Showroom Shine"!
