Picked up this Universal Jet 99 tank up. Was $19.99, got it for $10. Just the unit only, nothing else. I tested it out with an Electrolux cord and it runs pretty good.

Calling all vacs, calling all vacs! The model "M". I have two in my collection. I've always thought it was interesting how slow the brush roller rotates, and how the fans is without a back plate.

Me oh my, what a scandal, check it out, a Westinghouse WITHOUT A HANDLE! What would help is a special tip, because this poor vac needs a better grip.

Wow Thank you 3rdGenVacGuy. I'll give this a shot.

Picked this Hoover model 1140 Dial A Matic up at a thrift store. Runs pretty good, I just can't figure out how to tighten the handle. There's a screw located in the back that says to "tighten screw firmly" but this does nothing. Any input guys? Sincerely, "Loose and Confused"

I think that dates to 1938 if I'm not mistaken....

Nice cleaner! Anymore pictures of this cleaner? What does the roll brush look like? How many blades are on the fan?

Eureka model G2 Did they make G2's with and without lights? This is my G2, but no light...

Reply 64... That's a beautiful Eureka you have there Jeff. Any chance you could snap a side view of this cleaner? Love the early light houseings.

Interesting... I'll have to go take a second look at it. Thanks Ben. Would this model originally have a foot flip switch? It had a metal button. It also had black wheels and a grey cover at the bottom of the Sani-emtor.

I came across a Kirby 514 or 513 at a thrift store. I noticed it had an aluminum brush roll on it. I don't remember ever seeing this on a Kirby. Is this a replacement part, or "made to fit" part?

Would anyone happen to have a shake out bag slide and chain for a Royal? I'm going to have to buy a new shake out bag for my Electro Hygiene and the slides are going for $24.00. Thanks Anthony

yes I've seen that 131, it's beautiful. Sure wish I could find something of that vintage.

Jeff Would you happen to have a picture of Royal's first model with a revolving brush? And what model would this be?

Early Filtex Those are perfect examples of the Filtex I like! What year do these date to? Judging by the style, I'd say late 30's early 40's? I predominantly lean towards uprights, but there are a few neat lookin' tanks that I'd certainly go for.

Well... I find old vacuums here and there really, sometimes at thrift stores, other times at antique stores, and there is always ebay. I'm not sure if these were ever popular, but something tells me that these were costly when new. I think one of the reasons that these Singer cleaners are so...

Jeff Thank you SO much, for all that information! I had an Electro Hygiene straight suction, but lent it to a friend to use. It's now in Las Vegas. I don't remember the model number on it however. That Good Housekeeper model 189 is really beautiful, I especially like how the arm is painted black.

Thank you Thanks for the information John, Jeff and Ben. So I'm to assume this cleaner was made sometime in the mid to late 1950's? And what's the story with Electro Hygiene, I mean I know it's basically the same as a Royal, but why, why would Royal put out a cleaner with a different name...

Serial number Serial number is: 285-27174. Yeah I kinda figured it would have originally had a shake out bag. Thank you for all the information you are giving me by the way! :) Anthony

Let's see... Eanie meany minie moe...
