Christine,I really like both your cars,I have pics of my last Mercedes,I'll start a thread in the off topic forum. Ian and Alan, I shoud post some pics of my Panasonic...

related machines LOL They could be, I found them together,I thought the Royal was older so I might have misposted them,I also got the Hoover Steamvac Deluxe,all for 7.00,also a later Kenmore powernozzle, Excuse my messy garage but they have to stay down there until they are cleaned up,does the...

Today was the outside rummage sale at one of the thrift stores,so right away I spotted the Royal and a Hoover Steam Vac Deluxe and another I am not familiar with It's made by Vax,it uses a cloth bag or you can use it as a wet pickup vac,Is anyone familiar with the Vax machines, I used it to...

It looks real good,You did a great job, I got mine for a couple of bucks quite a while back,I brought it upstairs and it sounded and worked great, it had to go back downstairs to the garage since i have too many vacs up here and too little space,last time I turned it on it sounded funny when it...

I just found an all original Sanitronic,Can't wait to buff it,this will be my first bagless Kirby in a long time,along with a Classic Three,I've got my work cut out for me,I'll use one of my canisters to really clean the bags before using them. here is the new one.

I like your D-50s,That is a good idea you have but the tube from the paper bag might be restricted as it makes the bend from the machine to the Kirby bag, Here is my first sanitronic,it was missing the original bag and emptor and the handle was bent,I had a few Heritage machines on hand,and...

If you want your Kirby to use bags there are ways,there is an F&G bag converter

The same thing happened to my Elite,I had a Twin Chamber Bagless with a 12 amp motor,I'm not fond of bagless vacuums so the motor was pretty much an exact fit in the Elite,so I dropped that motor in it, It's one of my best carpet groomers,it will pick the carpet up,I had to beef up the agitator...

Tom, I'm really sorry and meant no harm,I would never even send someone a rude e-mail,you are a wonderfull person and have preserved Hoover's history,some of these people just thrive on drama and will take anything and take it way out of text. Mark

WOW,Really touched a nerve on that one,yes in the late 70's I did sell a lot of vacuums, but they were hardly collecters items then,you could still purchase them new,the one vacuum I wish I still had was my green Kenmore Duo Power,Vibrabeat,You didn't even bother to post a profile,Tom is a...

I have the same situation,In part of my house I have laminate wood flooring and area rugs,and those are the rooms that are most used and need to be vacuumed every day mainly the kitchen and utility room (the cats room),we cook and eat in the kitchen,I had a Shark Sweeper that was perfect for...

Hi Dave, Welcome, MaytagMark here from AW.org,The D-50 is a great machine,Michael answered all the questions well,it probably needs very little to get it back in shape,I have a Sanitronic that was in storage for years,I just put a new belt on it and it was ready to clean. Mark

Those vacuums should have went to a museum, not to some,so called collecter and just sold willy nilly to anybody

vibrabeat just keep checking e-bay and you will find the Hoover vault vacuum you are looking for,but you will pay $$$$$$$$,just pretending to preserve the Hoover vault,but making a big profit on e-bay

Fabulous Finds Fred They both look brand new,those air powered powernozzles are great,I have one on my Riccar Canister and use it on different machines,Love the Filter Queen,the powernozzle reminds me of the first ones that were brown,the machine looks great in gray,what years did they make...

Hi Charles, It's the first time Cassie has seen this one,I guess she approves,with all the Filter Queen posts lately I thought I would get it out an give it some use,It's been stashed away in a closet for a while,it is a two speed model,thats not the wheel dolly it came with,it's the one from my...

This is one of the vacuums from my childhood that I was fascinated with, our friends across the street had one,my Dad was too cheap to buy us an expensive vacuum,all we had was a Hoover Convertible,love them now,so I won this one on e-bay a few years ago,I was the only one that bid so I got it...

Great finds The Royal and GE will polish up nice and how lucky to still have the original bags,I have a model 62 with a bojack bag and newer cord,so I know how you feel about it,so its in the garage with the project vacuums,if I find a decent bag for it I'll restore it. Mark

Hi Eric, I polished a Heritage One using Mothers Aluminum Polish and a buffer pad attached to a drill and got good results but it just depends on the condition of the metal to start with,the recommendations in the thread you were refering to, involved using two or three grades of fine steel...
