Finally! Got all the hair off the bushroll and found nice green bristles!

Yup! That's it. That's the brushroll!

the brushroll Ugh! It's in there somewhere!

Hair....down there What is it about Elites that cause hair to collect around the motor?

Back in November I ran across a Hoover Commercial upright vacuum in the Elite version. It cost only $9.00!!!! It worked fine but the brush roll was in horrible shape. Since today is a holiday from school, I slept in (I have a cold) then decided today would be a good day to work on my vacs. Pix...

I'm this close to squealing! Matt, is the Golden Glide a model C-10 by any chance? My Grandnother had one of those in the 70's and have been looking for one forever. The Golden Powermaster is probably model U 49A? Does it have a ivory/green floral print square topped bag? These were made in...

C 3 Going back to Doug's question about the C-3. It was identical to the C-2 but a floor/wall brush was included with the attachments. A place was created for it in the attachment box. I have many of the vacuums pictured so far. One vacuum that has eluded me so far is the C-10 Golden Glide. My...

Metropolitan? What about Metroploitan vacuums, they are new and retro looking. I have never used one but they look cool. Marty

GE Roll Easy This belongs to a GE Roll Easy vacuum. I like how the bristles are also a green/aqua color. Its the flip tool. One side does the carpet. There is a weight on one side of the tool so when you lift it off the carpet, it flips itself to the floor brush side in order for you to proceed...

Thanks!!! David! I'm so glad you posted these pictures. I had at one time the Hoover Portapower with the burnt orange attachments. I don't remember who ended up with it. Sometime later my friend Victor came into posession the same colored tools and wondered what model they came from. As far as...

Filter Queen Poem Sorry, for it's "bigness" hehehehe

I have it Hi Brad! I have that poem you are talking about. I'm going to scan and post it. If for some reason the print is too small, I will type it out. Marty

Screamer Louis, I have a vacuum just like that. It's an anniversary model with the dark green bag. I bought it in the late 90's. It is back in it's box because it is so loud! I remember seeing here i think that there is a Dirt Devil motor in them? Is that right? Anybody? That and the higher...

More Singer scans Here is what is on the back cover of the Singer Athena 2000 sewing machine manual. Around 1975.

Singer Systems at Target Memories of these vacuums at Target are slowly coming back to me. Target had the green trimmed Singer System upright. I also remember stacks of Singer upright attachment sets high up on the top shelves. I got to thinking about the canister that was sold at Target. The...

OH! I also remember these models being sold at Target for a time back in the day. Should have bought one back then. Marty

Nice find! Hang onto it! I have a package of Singer System bags for canisters. I will have to look at the model numbers. The tools I think were like Eureka tools in grey. Chad and Jeff, great history on Singer. One of my favorite brands! Marty

Have the same vacuum I have the same vacuum in the yellow/gold colors. I thought it was a rebuild. If it is a rare model I will keep it.

Charles I have a Model E that was refurbished by Metropolitan. It has a polished front cover and a Metropolitan cord halo in matching hammertone blue. Why they didn't use a Lux halo, well who knows? I really like the way the E looks with boths ends polished.

Bojack, Aftermarket They are the same to me as far as I'm concerned. If its not original from the factory but "made to fit" then its an aftermarket or more affectionately, a bojack. I think Charles has it right. I've seen bags made by Hoover with the round logo for Hoover and Kirby for that...
