    Hoover Celebrity Rebuild

    Ok, I hope I don't sound too full of myself, but I am very proud of myself for the work I did on this vacuum. This vacuum had some horrible bearing noise and generally did not run good when I got it. So, I decided to fix it myself. The reason I am proud of myself is because this is the FIRST...

    My Weekend Find!

    Golden Jubilee - Model 1205-J Fred, you said you weren't sure if you've ever seen a Golden Jubilee 50th Anniversary model. Let me show you mine. Take a real close look and you can see some subtle differences between the Super J and this model. (The handle assembly is slighty different on the...

    weekend finds

    Nice finds. I especially like the Orange/Red Eureka canister vacuum. I never knew Hoover made a Spirit in those vivid colors. That must be the Miami, FL edition. LOL. (my attempt at humor) :-)

    UPSET!

    Eric you are right. Everything happens for a reason. I think this experience just means you have a nicer even better Eureka waiting for you somewhere else!

    Electrolux cannister "special" edition

    Complete Set I was finally able to find a gray PN-4 in decent enough shape to complete my Silverado Special. Here is a picture mine. I would love to see a picture of yours once you get the cord and make yours complete too!

    Electrolux cannister "special" edition

    Hey Cleaningbuff... I went digging through a vacuum store today and I found a Silverado Special. I took the cord and halo off it and they are in great shape. If you still need them, send me an e-mail and they are yours. My e-mail is [email protected]. :-)

    Hover convertible model 719

    Robert I'm very proud of you! I know how much you like that Hoover for very sentimental reasons! You made it look brand new again. I know it will make a very nice daily driver for you.

    A Model R "Flight of Fancy"

    Very nice pictures with all of the original attachments! VERY NICE! I am impressed! I liked the story you wrote. I remember when I was a little kid going to someone's house and I would get so excited when I eventually found whatever type of vacuum they had (especially when it was an Electrolux!)...

    I guess this is the All Terrain Model...

    Do you think that one runs off of electricity or deisel? :-)

    picked these up today

    I like those Royals. I used one recently at a local vac shop and was impressed with it's performance.

    Lux 1205- Gold or Silver Lettering?

    They may be gold, I may just be color blind! Or possibly, the gold lettering on mine is faded.

    Lux 1205- Gold or Silver Lettering?

    All of mine have silver lettering (1205, Super J, Olympia). I don't think I've ever seen one with gold.

    I found a Hoover Celebrity...

    Power Nozzles... No they are not all that deluxe. The lower end Celebrities of this model came with an "L" shaped power nozzle with no headlight.

    I found a Hoover Celebrity...

    I got the power nozzle in the matching green with it, but it's kinda nasty looking so I was embarassed to picture it. LOL. I will photo it once it's cleaned up. I'm not sure when I'll have time to do that though.

    I found a Hoover Celebrity...

    Also... While I was there, I spotted a Lux Model AF. When I asked them about it they said the motor was fried because an old lady sucked up water with it. Well they gave it to me and when I got it home and put a cord on it...it purrs like a kitten. There is nothing wrong with it. The bag cage...

    I found a Hoover Celebrity...

    This Celebrity came into a local vacuum shop as a repair and the customer never came to pick it up. So, after 45 days the vacuum shop called me and said I could either take it or they were going to trash it. So of course I went and picked it up... It runs good but has some wicked bearing noise...

    I hit the vacuum jackpot today!!! A parody of thread 2793.

    One more thing... Rick, how do you keep that pick up truck so clean? And I thought I had high standards! :-)
