They had the right idea in terms of practicality. At the time, correct me if I'm wrong, Sears was the only CV with finger tip control like that. I know they had such a feature before 1978 because in 2018 a person in Duluth, MN was selling on Craigs a Kenmore CV system along with a scuzzy hose...

I have two Eletrolox Ultralux series vacuums as well. I have an 87 Marquis and an 93 Classic. Both are in very good shape however, the top plastic frame, the top handle, and the two rear wheels are discolored on both machines. Much like yours no doubt. The exhaust port door is fine...

Again, AWESOME ! If I could give you a YELP review it would be all positive but where would I find your profile? lol I'm starting to get suspicious on how you do this. This looks like the matching model to the Ultralux LX . Same colors and lighted pn.

Why did I know you drove an older model Eldorado Mark? And it's not in bad shape either. White leather with plum interior, very classy. That's what I love about the 80s. The car phone still working? My first car was a 4 year old 1983 Grand Marquis LS. White with blue leather. Very...

Where did you find the Eureka/Wards vacuum? That looks exactly like one of the first vacs I collected.

As much as I like the plastic stuff, if it discolors, becomes brittle, or literally disintegrates into dust.... no fun in that. Metal stuff might have get rusty but can be cleaned and painted. But even vacs that have a metal body, there are lots of plastic parts. If they disintegrate, what...

Peggy Bundy When did you move to the east coast?

Which one is this that ....I'm sure no one will recognize where it came from.

Congrats on the normalization of your weight. If I can just trim off 20 lbs I'll be an ideal BMI.

Sweet story "I owned about 600 vintage vacuums, " Can one get any closer to an ideal love story? It's better than I've done. Good for you both.

Those are beautiful Silverados. Wonderful staging with that curtain backdrop. The hose upgrade= excellent choice.

I won't be dropping the mask in congested public areas until September at the earliest.

I wonder if in today's world it would be better for a local vac store owner to operate on line and from home. They could show all the used and new vacs on their webpage and when someone buys something they could deliver and pick up old vacs. No commercial over head rent? And no store hours.

Round vacuums like this aren't stairs friendly. You can't stand them on end for storage so they take less floor space in a closet. There's no on board tool storage.

I remember seeing the canister at Sams in the late 90s. Can't remember the price. It seems like it was around $400

Wow, thanks for the pic Mad. It's always amazing to me how people can let these things happen. Most people just aren't as thorough as us. These things have to be seen to be believed. look at how melted together and packed in that dirt is.[this post was last edited: 5/17/2020-22:53]

Are the original electric hoses even available for this? Will a generic hose have to be used with the original ends from what's left of that pile of..... vacuum hose.....stuff.

I've never seen any dusting brushes with a broken side. I've seen them with worn brushes which indicates they got good use. We have to remember these dual tools were made long before they came out with the sidekick which I would use over the older furniture tool anytime. I wish they would...

Yes, if you do happen to get water in or on electrical parts, in addition to letting the appliance dry for several days with good air flow around it, one should also occasionally shake the appliance to knock out those areas where water pooled. It's also a good idea to lay the appliance in...

off to be primed and painted. Taking them outside in partial shade on a 90 degree day with a nice breeze. I'm also treating the original wall mount bracket. First they are sprayed with rubbing alcohol, then primed, and then painted. They don't have to be perfect, they will get a second coat...
