VacMadMan, BEAUTIFUL 725! I really like the simple, art-deco lines of those coffee can Hoovers. BTW, is that a Kenmore Imperial, (Bugeye), I see in the backround? I have one too so my eyes noticed it right away.

"All That Heaven Allows", (1955), Lewyt big wheel green version. Cary Scott's, (Jane Wyman), housekeeper uses one while she is talking with her best gal pal, Sara Warren, (Agnes Moorehead), and she slams the bedroom door so they can talk without the noise. Also, Loretta Young uses a Hoover 28...

Mine has not made it south of the Mason-Dixon line yet........... :)

VacMadMan is correct about separating the handle from the fan housing. I took my Air-Way Super Chief to a vac store friend where I live. In trying to separate the two, (the Super Chief had a metal handle), he cracked opened the joint in the metal. He thought I was going to flip out but I just...

Kyle, Very impressive and very nice jobs! Looking at your pictures reminded me of how many of those I have done. They have all moved on to other homes but your photos make me wish I still had them! At one of the conventions you should have a restoration clinic.

A large crochet hook works well too. Either wood or metal.

Keith, Absolutely stunning! A perfect time capsule circa 1980. Okay now I am in a tizzy!

The upright is the canister motor vertically placed instead of horizontally. The newer uprights have more powerful suction due to higher RPM's and fan blade design. The drawback on the upright is the bottom fill bag---the dirt is always in front of the motor creating the suction so the bag...

I have a friend that already has his tree up and his house is fully decorated. Sometimes I think it would be easier to leave lights/trees and other decorations up all year long. People put lights and decorations up just after Halloween and leave them until the end of February. 4/5 months out...

The 67 has been sold.

Thanks Mike! From your pics you have some beautiful vacs too. As you know, I'm downsizing a bit and keeping just my favorites. More will be popping up here in the next few weeks. Hopefully the 67 will end up some place where it can be show cased a bit---since two went into the making of this...

I did not win this at the convention in N. Canton. It came from another collector with expenses involved some number of years ago. I thought this was the Supermarket? When I went to make the post, I clicked on the Supermarket section and did the listing. Maybe someone can move it for me...

I am selling this Hoover 67 convertible. Before putting it on Ebay I thought I would see if there are any interested parties here. It is in excellent shape and all nearly all original. The switch has been replaced as well as the agitator. The new agitator is genuine Hoover. See photo. The...

I like the Compacts and even the newer Tri-Stars. I've had many models and currently use the CS with the HEPA bag. For me, it is a much cleaner system than the Filter Queen. Even the new power nozzles made by Aerus are IMO, are better than the FQ.

When I was selling a cannister vacuum for Rowenta on QVC, (the 8 lb., 8 oz., Rivo), I devised an attachment to pick up a fish aquarium and a 60 lb. hassock. Its all about the physics of the attachment. Many current canister vacuums could pick up a compact car if the attachment was a flat panel...

Replacement plastic fans for convertibles have available for years. Much the same way replacement fans for early Kirbys are now only plastic. According to some sources, the plastic fans for the Hoovers were better than the originals due to the improved design of the fan. Better suction and...

Kenny, in case you are interested, there is an Aerus/Electrolux dealer in Richmond, VA, and the owner has been with Electrolux since 1976. His son specializes in repairs and restorations of older Electrolux products. You can google them by looking up Aerus/Electrolux Richmond, VA. You will...

I have quite a few old rotary and push button phone including Trimlines, Princesses, 302 black desk, 202 Imperial Anniversary Edition and an a rotary Ericofon. I have VOIP and when requested to push a number, I dial the number and it reads the pulse with no problem. I still love the sound of...

or maybe a birthday spanking...……..

I had a 1969 Chrysler Imperial LeBaron coupe that was a killer! The TorqueFlite transmission was great and trust me, at that point in my life I was hard on a car. That car went through a lot and never failed me. It needed minimum maintenance but a lot of premium fuel. Fast forward......it was...
