Red rouge I do have red rouge. I’ve used that along the way as well.

Hey guys! I invested in a bench buffer with a stitched cotton and loose cotton buffing wheel. I am having trouble achieving a mirror shine. I keep having micro scratches left in the finish. I’ve sanded w/ 6 different grits of sandpaper and gotten deeper scratches out. I use black rouge on the...

Thanks for the advice guys! Much appreciated.

Curious if anyone knows if the insulation/sound deadening material in the rear end of my Lux Model L would happen to contain asbestos? (See Photos) Or if the wiring in it might? I hadn't given consideration to old vacuums containing asbestos until a few nights ago when I was rewiring the plug on...

Mine hands down is the Diamond Jubilee.

Hi all, what's the recommended adhesive to use on a Kirby nozzle gasket? Is it rubber cement? I recently acquired this Heritage 2 that needed a new fan & good cleaning & tune up. It's back in action but needs the gasket adhered better.

Nice find! I have one as well. All the same goodies came with mine. Found it at an estate sale a couple years ago. They are a piece of vacuum history. This was the Amway model that used James Dysons original design. He sued Amway and won when they had Bissell produce this without his...

Thanks guys! I got all back together & it’s running great.

Thanks for the reply Sven. Should I be prying at the seam I have circled? Or the seam to the left of it?

I’ve taken apart my Electrolux Marquis to fully clean and service it. This is the first Lux I’ve taken this far apart. I’ve pulled the motor all the way apart. I went too far and the fan blades are now loose inside the chamber. Is there a way to get to them or have I just ruined it? The fan...

Yes I have! We had that exact vac at the company I used to work for. It was there and well used when I started there in 2003. It had recently been replaced by a Hoover RunAbout. One of the rear wheels wouldn't stay on so it wasn't used and was eventually trashed. I agree that it reminds me of a...

More Photos of Phillips Mini Meet It was a great day. I had fun finding treasures along the 100 mile OK/KS yard sale with you all. Special thanks to Phillip for hosting and sharing his impressive collection. A shout out to Sean for my newly acquired 1960's Kenmore canister. Pics of it later to...

Just catching up on VL posts. Calem you may have been thinking of my Frantz Premier that I found at an auction a few years ago. Here's a couple pics of it. Not the greatest condition, but I did clean it up as much as I dared and oiled it. Runs pretty smooth for around 105 yrs old.

Does anyone happen to know anything about this mixer. I can't make out the brand name. Looks like possibly Canfield Mfg Co. It's for sale and I am contemplating whether it needs to find a home in my collection.

Thanks for the info & links Harley. I stumbled upon the Allen Lambe house driving around in the past. Very neat! Hope to take a tour some day. I had in mind that there was a FLW house over toward the Riverside area as well. But I guess I was mistaken. I can't find anything about another online...

Wow! Thanks for sharing those pics Jae! I love looking back to see how things once were. Reminds me of old pics of downtown Salina back in the day. So much more substance and style than now. And my what a grand place the Cotillion once was. And I really love that median. Harley you mentioned...

Wesley is a cutiepie! He reminds me of my childhood Cocker. Same buff color. A video of him chasing the Connie would be a fun watch.

Sanyo That Sanyo is a nice find Mitchell. I have the same yellow version. Mine is missing the dusting brush. Did yours come with one? I am curious to know what it looks like. Have fun with it!

I had a Diamond Jubilee version when I was a kid. Wish I still had it

Yes there was a model called the HiTech 2100. I have the burgundy one. I know I have seen it in other colors as well. There are old posts in the archives about it and I am sure the other models as well.
