Hi Does anyone have a Kirby Classic Omega Diamond/Armadillo bag for sale? I need one for my Omega I’m restoring. It HAS to be diamond / armadillo, like the bag pictured. Also interested in Omega attachments in Rosewood Thank you, Derek.

That TriStar is BEAUTIFUL!!!

You are right: the Avalir takes the same armature as the G-series. I replaced the armature, front bearing and the fan and shaft ( might as well since I got this far) and now it runs perfect in both carpet and hose mode. I couldn't stand the vibration it had earlier. One of my friends said it...

Hi. I just bought an Avalir for my birthday and I am in love with it. I noticed that it has a smoother transmission than my Diamond and G6 did. it sounds like it runs at a higher RPM rate than any of my prior G models (and Diamond on high speed) did. Anyone else notice this? Does Avalir run...

Hi. I was checking out the vacuum of the day and saw this convertible. It has the narrow bag. Out of curiosity: would that have been a cloth shake out bag? Compared to a Kirby, Royal, or even the cloth shake out bag on my (sadly sold) Hoover 300, the commercial Convertible bag pictured looks...

I think it was either the 75th or the green FQ where they started to go cheap on the motors? The test results above do not surprise me. I think the quality started to go down after the Triple Crown. It's a shame- FQ could build a phenomenal cleaner like they used to- just better, not cheaper.

I don't understand all these issues with the Filter Queen. For my daily driver, I use a vintage (circa 1980) Filter Queen Model 31 with a Model 48 PN, and a modified 15' electrified hose. I vacuum up all kinds of fine dust and regular dirt. I have NO problems whatsoever with the suction/...

Hi. I am interested in the all chrome Filter Queen 450/ 500 you had in the pic on the other thread. Also, do you have any good condition or NOS BROWN filter queen wand seal/ cuffs? thank you, Derek

I like that stove, I LOVE that Two-Ten. That's your daily driver? How long have you had it?

Hi. Has anybody here used Hexol? PineSol changed their formula and it doesn't smell the same- it smells perfume-y to me. I have been reading good reviews on Hexol, and it has a high percentage of pine oil in it. Have you used Hexol? Let me know how you liked it. Thanks, Derek

What do you have in Filter Queen items? I'm always in the market for Filter Queen Wand cuffs in brown. Also straight FQ wands, and any accessories for brown/chrome machines.

Wouldn't surprise me, when I worked in a vacuum store, I started to become convinced that 60% of the time, the average person wouldn't even know what end of the vacuum cleaner goes on the floor. Now throw in a speed switch..... there's a curve ball. $500.00?! What are these people smoking? and...

** In good-natured fun** Today on eBay, I found a Filter Queen "Emerald" which was basically an Optima with a Majestic motor on it. I wondered if the HMI boys said "whoops" after they built their Optima, realized that it was a Lewyt-esque flop, then decided to do what they could to salvage...

I have been trying to locate a black Filter Queen/Princess 10 foot, electric hose. So far nothing has come up. Did Filter Queen discontinue these too?

'48 Lux XXX. My grandparents bought it new from a salesman. They went 50/50 on the payments with my great grandparents and shuttled it between them every other week. I have it now.

That's funny!

A clever use for all that string?! OMG! I cannot line-dry outside where I live so I have about 100' of clothesline strung up from the rafters. Eye screws are great for that. My grandmother used to use LaFrance.

Rockefeller was a Borax miner?

Oh man! Sounds like you were dealing with a professional scammer with that whole address thing. I had something similar happen to me a couple years ago. Sucked

@ vacerator: You're fine. I know you meant that in good humor. I was just giving you a hard time with my snarky retort. Is Spring as cold on your side of the state? It has been freezing cold over here on the west side. Gosh, I think the only white shoes I have are my running shoes/ trainers...
