The following vacuums will be going to ebay later this year unless someone here is interested. If interested, contact me through the site email system to discuss price and shipping. I'm not interested in making a fortune, just recovering part of my cost in investments in the vacuums. Please...

The Sebo and Miele canisters are very quiet. The Platinum power nozzle sounds like all of it's forerunners making it louder than the machine itself. When the Platinum is set on, "Auto", for the power setting, it is extremely quiet. Lux went through quite a few machines that were kind of loud...

I have owned nearly every model of Lux from the E, to now the Platinum Guardian. IMO, the Platinum Guardian is arguably one of the best canisters made. A true cleaning machine with incredible filtration and really, really quiet. (About as loud as the G models.) I do not mind the plastic wands...

Thank you Charles. Ditto to the above.

Gosh, I thought it looked like a Lewyt humping a Tri-Star..............

Absolutely wonderful find Charles and with great provenance. As Jimmy mentioned, perfect size, weight, power and conversion to take a power nozzle. Just beautiful! It would be nice if Aerus reintroduced a retro model of this for a current, "B", line to compliment the contemporary models...

Tom, Tania and I are working out arrangements to be there. It will my first convention at the museum. I think Tania was there before. We had so much fun with you and Donnie when Duane, Tania and I were there in September. I love all the vacuums I brought home. With Ken Wagman there it...

Some Pics of my model M Challenger This is my M cleaning ensemble. The vacuum is all original and complete with paperwork. The original owner must have used it gently. I acquired it from the estate of a vacuum collector and it needed just a dust up and belt. The hose is great with no...

Cameron, I remember by looking at the above pic, there definitely was a hose you could slide onto the metal tube that extends from the bag housing. It was a good 6 feet. I can't remember anything about the wands but there was a floor brush and a crevice tool. Can't remember if there was any...

The Advance upright also had, (I think), an attachment kit that went on the hose that separated from the base. The brush roll was a great design because it provided a, "no gap", sweeping motion. I'm glad bags are still available. Maybe one day I'll find one of these. The shampooer was called...

Great Vacuum! I had a carpet cleaning business in the 1970's and used Advance machines. The CarpetTwin vacuum was a terrific machine. It used a cloth shake out bag or disposable paper bags. It had two brush roll sizes if I remember correctly--the 12" or 14" depending on your cleaning needs...

Bud... I noticed that too. Makes one wonder. If bidding I would ask the seller about that. Charlie

Hans, looking forward to seeing you! I really don't need to add to my collection but who can pass up this opportunity? Charlie

Mike Rogers........... For some of us that have been involved with the VCCC and Vacuumland for 20 years or more, Mike Rogers was somewhat legendary. A long time member of the VCCC and former board member, Mike was one of the most knowledgeable members we had. He had been involved in the...

Very sad....... Glenn was also a member of the Lambda Car Club International and Todd and I used to see him at many LCCI grand invitationals Not only was he a wealth of information on cars but vacuums too. It was so nice to meet someone who shared two of the same interests. He had some...

I got 4 vintage uprights that I am thrilled about. One is surprise birthday present for my partner and two were vacuums I thought I would never have again as I owned similar models in the past. Since I flew in, the vacuums are being transported to Wisconsin with friends and will be shipped to...

Hose The blue tracer would indicate a 66 hose. I just used one today. The 77 was green with a red tracer.

Let's see, the progressive northern state of Pennsylvania only sells liquor at state owned liquor/wine stores that happen to open on Sunday from 11 AM till 7 PM and beer is sold in separate stores known as, "beer distributors", which are not allowed to sell wine. Sounds easy to get your...

Let's not forget the Bison and what a stellar performer that was. Quiet, easy to use and lightweight............NOT! It lasted about 5 minutes.

What would have been interesting is if Hoover, (while it was still really Hoover), did a retro line of machines. Old machines in new colors. Like the 150 in Neptune Green or 825 in the same red used on the 29. The newer machines could have incorporated current technology making them lighter...
