    What is different between Javelin 12 and Windsor S12? Need help

    What seems to be different is the JAV 12 sticker says 6,8 amps (6 comma 8). The Windsor S12 is 10 amps. I can't find the specifications of the JAV-12 anywhere online, at all. Trying to be an honest eBayer is a pain. Would it be dishonest to list it like this: Javelin JAV-12 By Windsor...

    What is different between Javelin 12 and Windsor S12? Need help

    I bought a Javelin 12 vacuum cleaner with no front cover and could never find just the bag housing cover at a reasonable price. Finally I ordered an entire upper half of a Windsor 12 (unfortunately in very rough condition-it only looks as "good" as it does because I sanded it extensively!). It...

    $4 Fantom Lighting with a damaged powerhead motor need some help

    "You could use a different power nozzle altogether." Funny you should mention it, I love Kenmore Progressive type 116 canister vacuums and have a disturbing number of motor bodies and power-heads... so: The connectors are only off by a quarter inch-a slight bend and its actually snug...

    $4 Fantom Lighting with a damaged powerhead motor need some help

    I picked up this puppy-a Fantom Lightning LC51 02 for just $4. However, I found that the powerhead is in bad shape-the brush doesn't seem to turn very freely, and the motor itself was damaged. One of the fins on the motors fan was bent and it couldn't turn. I'd hoped after bending it back into...

    is a kenmore whispertone self propelled worth buying to resell?

    I noticed one of these at a local thrift store dirt cheap, I honestly have no need of it myself but I saw it here as rare and "good to find" (I also lifted the picture from that thread). I got the impression a number of people would like to find one but it doesn't interest me personally. It...

    Kirby Classic iii restoration questions

    Thanks! The motor isurprisinglyly healthy sounding, so I guess I'll leave it be. I was alssurpriseded the bag seems to be the original but does fine holding the dust in. Since its over 30 years old and probably never had to be serviced, I'm pretty impressed with the little bugger.

    Kirby Classic iii restoration questions

    I've been reading through the forum since I found a Kirby Classic III for $4 with buffer, crystallizer, paint gun, original owners manual, and some other misc accessories and jumped on it. It runs like a champ and I absolutely love it, but it has some pretty good scuffs and scratches in the...
