    I think this is a new record, and its not even finished!

    Somethings not right there.. ...that gray box for instance. While the vacuum and the PN are obviously new, what's up with that old grey box and the old glass sprayer and cloth bag? New Luxs didn't come with two hoses either. Shouldn't the racer stripes on the hose for the Golden J be gold and...

    Eureka Age??????

    floor nozzle The nozzle on this vacuum was used on Eureka's real bottom of the line cleaners. I once found a bottom of the line JC Penney Eureka Princess "bug" canister with this style nozzle.

    Bidding on ebay getting out of hand on a Eureka

    Two more things.. I won't use snipe ware and I don't judge people for how much they pay for something. I have paid waaayyyy too much money for things in the past based solely on the rarity of the item or for the sentimental value of the item.

    Bidding on ebay getting out of hand on a Eureka

    My practice... ...is to bid on something that I want only if I am going to be home when the auction ends. That way I can be there at the last minute and try to win the auction honestly. Sometimes I win, sometimes I don't. That is the name of the game. If an auction ends when I am at work then...

    Todays Finds

    Hi Chad I did not know S&M bags will work as well. That's good to know because my supply of L bags is dwindling so I'm not using those bags or vacuums any longer. My friend Andy just gave me two pkgs of Eureka S&M bags because he thought they looked vintage and therefor thought I might like...

    L bags? I thought the bags for the Golden Glide was the same as the Eureka L bags. The collar is much wider on the L bags than the S&M bags. Now I have to go look though my stash. Marty

    Anyone have a Eureka model 1934?

    I do! I bought one new for my Gram when they came out because it was light and easy for her to push. Now that she is 92 and does not vacuum anymore, it's my Aunt's preferred vacuum to use in the house. When I go over to visit, I give it the once over to keep it running well. My Dad brought one...

    New Hoover Guardsman

    Brush roll I call it a brush roll and not an agitator because there are no beater bars. The is also no second set if brush strips! I have a brand new convertible agitator complete with beater bars sent to me by Glenn Dienst. I've been saving it for something like this!

    New Hoover Guardsman

    Cord The cord threads up the handle just like the model 31. The step switch is on the handle bail and the bumper is clear! An interesting thing is that the carpet height adjustment lever is not metal with a rubber tab like the handle release, its a one piece lever that I hope does not break...

Judging by the picture on the ebay store I bought it from, I was kind of thinking I was getting maybe one of the last North Canton machines. One can hope. But it is a Tacony machine. Mayb ethey should update...

    Kirby Sentria Question... Help!!!

    Hi! Is the belt worn? I once was vacuuming with a Convertible I just brought home without checking the belt first and it was in a stage of starting to split and as it got hot the inside rubber of the belt started to melt and leave black streaks in the rug. I turned off the vacuum immediately...

    Soo I'm leaving the Chinese buffet Friday...

    Thief! Not!! I once put a bunch of misc. Hoover tools inside a Kenmore canister and bought the canister. Well they were just laying there not priced and not with a vacuum. I considered it a rescue from the dumpster therefor ridding me of any guilt! We all have these stories LOL!

    Noise Hi David! The vacuum is actually 5.5 amps. I've been down with a cold so I stayed in bed on Wednesday and bought things online. LOL! Among other things, I bought a Hoover Guardsman Commercial Upright. I wanted a new Convertible style vacuum before they disappear (you never know) plus I...

    Hoover Commercial Upright Elite

    full view To one of my friend's out there (you know who you are!) this hoover has a 50ft orange cord in great shape. It also has a grounded plug. This vacuum originally had one of those attachment/hose carriers that fit along the back of the handle but seeing how the hose was missing, I left it...
