. I couldn't leave well enough alone and decided to tear into another vacuum before the summer is over and we head back to the Big City. The vacuum is the standard Eureka/Sanitaire dirty fan layout with the self propelled feature. This vintage and model sees a lot of plastic, even the on/off...

. Anybody here try doing this? I was wondering if i clear coated some dingy plastic what the results might be.

gsheen, . how right you are, this vacuum came from a house just a couple blocks from the beach. Thanks everybody for the kind words on getting this vac back on the road as it were. I did wonder myself -about mid way through the filth- what i had gotten myself into this time. Like, "maybe i...

After pics.. . Looks like this will be the only vacuum I'll have time for this summer. I have too many other projects here right now to tear into another one. This was one turned out very satisfyingly. From extremely abused cast off to now a daily driver. That said I will be pretty wary of...

All together now.. . But i'm too tired to upload a video to do it justice...let me explain. As you can tell from the pics this vac was pretty rough and would never be a trailer-queen show-vac. No this is one was destined for regular use. I decided before i started, not to use the above floor...

Another day.. .. Should have taken a few more pics as reminders and I would have been done by now. I had forgotten I left the front wheels on to do later. Well today was later. The most pleasureable aspect besides removing the mountain of grunge in the brush roll area was getting at the...

That.. . Is a keeper. Wood grain, push button goodness in all it's upright vacuum glory.

Add these close ups.. . The first pic in the last post shows the clog as I initially found it. Here are some hopefully sharper pics of the largely cleaned up body. I have made it to the half way point. Some detail with q-tips and a magic eraser pad should be good. This vacuum (and a couple of...

More.. . I didn't want to get this thing too far apart but that smell must go! I am trusting with proper drying the electronics will survive the dunking. Never tried just hosing the whole thing (minus motor) but here goes..

. Actually the puke was gray hair and mud brown, the Kenmore vac is purple. Well it's been a while since I worked on a vac and posted about it here. Two reasons, one I got interested in automaticwasher site and have been busy there, And secondly I have been away from San Diego where I have my...

Re post 14 . That TRUVOX is a common vacuum rebadged under many names and sold primarily as a commercial vacuum. You like the above floor cleaning ability yet decry the weight and cummbersomeness that is necessary to provide the feature(?). For what this vac is intended for it excels. I do...

Scored... . a Blue Simplicity Moxie yesterday! Like new from a woman leaving town for a new job. Came complete with the deluxe attachments..now i need to look into upgrading the brush roll (to a three row) and get a new Hepa, Tom let me know how much those two items would run me please. This...

. I have only seen these in bright green before..

Yes.. . right now all my vac are for sale. I have over 150 so specifics would help. All are newer than 1965. Kirby, Hoover, Royal, Sanitaire, Kenmore, Oreck, Electrolux, Miele, etc. I will sell as many as I can but I am not bailing out of collecting just slimming down. Best bet would be for...

I have a couple.. . I also have the commercial version. Where would the vacuum be shipped to? It may be cost prohibitive. Lmk

Found one too.. . Yesterday, I left it at the thrift store. Perfect outward condition, but not running, and no attachments. I knew it was probably a rare one though.

. Absolute score. I didn't even know that color existed on a Concept I.

. . $99 delivered, tempting... http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Oreck-Axis-Upright-Bagged-Vacuum-Blue-U7211ECBQ-/221747300925?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item33a12b4a3d

I sold a.. . NIB Filter Queen on Ebay for about what you're hoping to get. The most painful discussions for me on VL are people insisting what something is worth. Worth to "you" is my answer..thanks for telling us what you would pay for the vacuum. Lets let the market decide what someone else...

You risk loosing stenils... but washing the bag is the sing most satisfying part of "spa day" for me. I use a bucket with warm water and mild detergent. This is of course l,after i have emptied and vacuumed the bag thoroughly first. On some i have used the washing machine on the gentle cycle if...
