I still have this machine in my collection! It does see use in my house from time to time to keep everything moving on it. I'm out of Type C bags so I'll have to go to Ace and get some, but this machine runs just as good as the day me and my ex put it back together. I'll get some updated...

I bought a Shark Rocket Pet Pro for my wife since she wanted to try one and I was curious if they had gotten any better than the HV301 I had a long time ago. The power nozzle is definitely better as it doesn't obnoxiously yank itself across the floor like the HV301 Rocket did. Its performance is...

Mine was my parent's Rainbow D4C with the PE Power Nozzle, they also had a black Dirt Devil Swivel Glide that I wish I had kept. Aside from those my Great-Grandparents gave me my green and brown Hoover Slimline that my mom had thrown away as she wasn't supportive of my hobby then. She still...

I picked up this Kitchenaid KUDI220T from my old boss at the furniture store in town. Nothing was wrong with it the previous owner just upgraded to a TOL Maytag. This is going to replace our GE QuietPower 3 that’s been having control panel issues. The Kitchenaid is in overall good shape with no...

Mine is my TriStar CXL with a Centec Power Nozzle. This machine has had many different nozzles on it in the time I’ve owned it, and this is my favorite setup. I have quite a few power teams, but this one is still my favorite.

I’ve always wanted a Mighty Mite II and I found this one on eBay a month or two back. It’s in overall good shape minus the scuffing. It doesn’t have any of the attachments that store on the cleaner and has a different floor tool than the Mighty Mites came with. Were there any other machines in...

I have this Super J that I've had for a few years that I've finally gotten around to tearing into since the motor wasn't running right and found the armature is pitted and severely discolored. I was wanting to know my options on a motor replacement since I cleaned it up and the motor seems to...

Here’s the rating plate.

Thanks! I’ll get those ordered! I’ll get a picture of the rating plate when I get home. This is a suction only model and it does have the blank where the outlet for the power nozzle would have gone. It’ll still make a nice companion to my Convertibles, Elite, Classic Omega and my F&G uprights...

It’s all cleaned up now! I’ve still got some parts to hunt for but I’m happy with how it turned out so far!

I picked this up at the Habitat Restore in Amarillo for $10 about a year ago. I had found a NOS hose that would fit this vacuum and I am still on the search for a power button cover with no luck so far. I hope to find some attachments as the ones I ordered off of eBay were off of a Powerline and...

One day I'll have to come check it out! I love all vacuums in general and y'alls place is somewhere I want to visit.

I didn’t have the exact model but I had a machine like that.

Les It honestly depends on what I can find when I hit the wrecking yard. H&H over in Amarillo has Engine & Transmission combos with the wiring harness and ECM for $1200 with a 90 Day Warranty. A LS1 will be ideal but I will be open to going with a truck motor if I can’t find one when the time...

Human It will be a big project for sure, but fortunately my best friend had done this to his 1991 Camaro Z28 so I’ve got somebody who’s been there and done that with this kind of swap. The way I look at it and the way my wife has told me is I’ve got nothing but time to get it back on the road...

I bought this 1985 Pontiac Firebird off of a coworker for $250! It has no motor or transmission, but the body is in decent shape other than the paint and some dings and dents! It does have quite a bit of work that needs to be done before I’m ready for the power train though. More than likely I’m...

John, I hope all goes well for you both health wise and in getting your room squared away! I can't wait to see pictures of the room in the future!

ridgidwd0670 They are the same machine. the website has a copyright of 2019 and talks about Aerus in their about us section. They may retire the TriStar name, but who knows for now. http://www.airejett.com/#header

Gregvacs28 I believe it’s the angle. The hose is the same diameter as the bagged Tempo. These old Bagless systems intrigue me since they tried so many odd designs. I can honestly say this one was weird and honestly doesn’t work very good. It has a foam seal going from the dust cup, but it...

My old bosses at the furniture store gave this to me a couple months ago. It is presently in pieces waiting for its trip through my Kitchenaid KDS-18 that I use as a parts washer. This vacuum and I had history as it was used in the store until I brought them a Kirby G3 to use in the store. The...
