Yes! . I was going to mention that cord hook. One of my Simplicitys needed one too. A cheap and easy thing to fix that makes it so much better. This brand, more than any other currently producing vacs, charms me, like Oreck used to. By charm i basically mean to like beyond identifyable tangible...

. and discuss please. It's not that old but not in the current line up is all i can guess. I saw these pictured in an ad for over $60,000(!), I think i can talk'em down though.. http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/app/4922238886.html

There she is folks, why don't i see more of these? http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/app/4902273936.html

That grey Hoover.. . color really has aged well. I have a Concept II that color and it might be my coolest looking Hoover.

Use the bags... . the airflow will help if what i have read is true about mildew. This link looked to have a number of worthy ideas. Good luck! http://m.wikihow.com/Remove-Mildew-Smell-from-Clothing

The Sanitaire.. . is a great choice. One of America's best designed consumer goods products ever. No matter how many i find i can't pass one up at the right price.

Dan.. . NIB appreciation is probably the best thing i have learned from you. IMO, If done right you actually you will end up hoarding fewer vacuums not more. That said, if you have the space, hoarding vacuums mostly keeps them from land fills and is a harmless joy if that is your thing. Dan...

Good work.. i'll never tire of 'spa day' posts, thanks.

One idiot.. installs a faulty brush roll and we hear about it forever. Sorry if that was you but.. OEM Hoover brush rolls are on Ebay often enough so there is that option, but i have heard this CWP story *second hand* so many times it is ridiculous. When it was first posted, as i recall, many...

Nice.. someday i will happily have fewer of many vacuums but have a new, or like new, one of these. In other words it's a gem of a vac imo.

This Electrolux and Kirby Sentria . The Sentria has a self propel feature and i'm fairly certain these early Electrolux uprights do not. So one could very well not like using this vacuum but love a Sentria...unless carrying up and or downstairs were the issue. I have heard people rave about...

Wow.. nice machine. I got one close to that but yours is really a standout among standouts, way to go.

. Only a trained professional could spot the out of place part on this Kirby. Trust me it's there. It may look like a 517 but something is out of place. Don't feel bad if you don't see the modification as clearly an expert has worked hard to cover his tracks...almost got away with it too if it...

. At least to my eyes. I got these pics feom an ad and post here in hopes of more info from the seers in residents..ahem, dat be you guys.

Argh.. ..."shorter than you think".

The bristles when new.. on the VG's are far shorter thn you think they are going to be. They are much shorter than say, a Hoover Convertible brush roll has.

Dan, . what is your take on the Powercast? I realized i wanted one when they were being closed out but i was just too late too the party to get a new one. I have yet to come across a used one outside of the rare Ebay appearance, and even there i have yet to see a two motor model which is what i...

And the beat goes on.. . Dan i want to turn things around a bit and ask you what is *not* in your collection and why. For instance, i have around 150 vacs but only one is an Electrolux canister. I do not have any vac pre 1960's. I have only one pre G-series Kirby. I do not have any hand vacs...

Dysonman1, . I don't understand your comment, the bid seems to have only gone up $10 at the last minute, hardly a run up as it sold for $610. What is so special about the vac and who is miss Pupek? Here is the bid history: Bidder Bid Amount Bid Time w***7( 3107) US $610.00 Jan-25-15...

.If you wanted one of these i doubt you could do much better. http://newyork.craigslist.org/wch/app/4886060391.html
