Mike! I was thinking that was a Scopa in the corner! I have that same GE swivel top!! It looks like the beginnings of a great collection!!! Marty

Pete Got your email and sent you one! :) Marty

I like Eureka Gold. or just Goldie! Pete, I'm glad the bag got to you okay! I'm looking for a blue bag now!!!! Marty

LOL! I can't believe you remember that! Why is that I wonder? Static? Or just like everyone, it happens after a certain period of time? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. Marty

David I like that model Elite! I have an early model also. Also have a box of early front attaching tools. BTW, the other Covertible that you saved was one that the Brady Bunch had. Model 1020 i beleive it is. Marty

Tommy! We had a vk117/c at the convention this year in Omaha! It was labeled Mighty Maid. It went home with one of the members who won it in the raffle! (BTW, Ken look out for a box coming your way) I have one too and i call it the grasshopper. They are fun machines! Marty

Guy! I have one of those too. In blue. Mine does not have a bag and i'm wondering what it looks like? Is it possible to snap a picture of it? To ward off any Petes that may appear at your doorstep, leave a big cake, any flavor, and that should keep him happy ...for awhile! ;-) Marty

Greg What i learned this year at the Hoover clinic was that the speed switch was moved around. I know when we talked the other day you said there was no switch. Check to the other side of the converter track. But it is gorgeous isn't it? Marty

Pete! The curved wands in your picture are indeed for your Air Way!!! Yay! there is a hose end with the suction bleeder valve there in the wand but i don't see the machine hose end. BTW, i have not forgotten about the Gold square top Eureka bag for you. I am still going through things in...

Bag Tommy, Do you not have Hoover Constellation bags or did you just want improved filtration? Are bags not available where you are? I love your vacuum and i espeially like the combo carpet/floor brush that is with your vacuum. I wish we had that attachment here in the US. Great find!!! Marty

How about a Sanitaire? Try a Sanitaire upright. They are fairly reasonable price wise and it would only be used in your house. Most houskeepers are familiar with them as most hotels etc. use them. Then she can use her crappy vacuum in her other homes. Thats my suggestion. Marty

Tom!!! Thats not Heather in the background mowing the lawn while you and Joe were out having a great time collecting treasures is it? I think she would have loved it if you brought the Lawn Boy home!!! You have such great luck in your treasure hunts!!!!Congrats on the cool finds! And it's okay...

Speaking of comebacks.... Koblenz had two models of vacuums a few years ago in the Princess and Ironsides metal bodies. Koblenz must have obtained the molds ( or is it casts ) from Eureka!

What I have done... in the past on the Princess and Ironsides Eureka canisters is to put felt around the hose opening on the inside of the vacuum so that a seal is formed from the bag collar holder to the inside of the front of the hood. The terrycloth bonnet over the motor as Louis ( Hi Louis...

How Cool!!! Thanks Gary! I have a C7 that took me a long time to complete. I call it Dirty Girl. The short story, it was filthy in a box when i found it. Nice to see the manual for it!!! Marty

Glam shot Once I get her all nice and clean I will post an after shot!

Bojack bag!!! But the inside bag cage is clean and shiny!!

Front/Rear I like how they polished the front bag cover instead of painting it hammertone blue. I wonder what a Lux of this generation would look like all polished chrome with light blue logo? The rear cord halo is a Metropolitan halo. There was a Metropolitan vacuum on ebay recently with the...

Metro parts Make that Crappy Metropolitan parts! I'm glad they had the good sense to keep the Lux wands instead of using plastic wands. I'm going to find real Lux tools to go with this vacuum.

Here is a great thrift store find the other day. An old refubished Electrolux Model E by Metropolitan!! The box says with Metropolitan parts.
