We're on the road traveling right now, but I told Robert about this thread.. He'll look into the issue tomorrow... Moving to the Household forum.

Love the one with the rainbow sticker!!

Hummingbirds are amazing little creatures.

It was worth that price for those Filtex tools alone!

The power unit itself isn't shown in the 1961 Brochure that is for sale on Automatic Ephemera, but the company logo is the same. I would guess that machine is from the late 60s or early 70s. I'm not entirely sure when they changed their logo, so it could even be from the late 70s or early...

That would have been a Norca, it would have been the sister to the hoover 305 I believe. Does this cleaner still have its brushroll? The thing with Norcas - they had a 4 brush brushroll and no beater bars. I'd say if it's missing the bag, hand, and hood the machine would probably be...

I've had one since 2010 and I really like it.  I like to sleep with a fan running and this fits the bill.  The only time we don't us it is when we have the air conditioner running in the summer.

Haha!  Oh, the vacuum thing was around long before 5th grade.  We already had a Dimension 1000 at home by then.  :-)

Here's one on eBay... $200 and free shipping.   http://www.ebay.com/itm/Super-suction-NSS-model-M-1-commercial-PIG-vacuum-Works-Great-Inludes-Hoses-/321434798762?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4ad701caaa

Ooh, those blue Dimension 1000s are pretty machines.  Nice find!  I would love to find one some day.    When I was in 5th grade, we had some sort of class project that everyone worked on.. made a mess in the classroom, of course.  My teacher brought his in, and I was put in charge of...

Geez, I don't know which I would have purchased.. quite possibly all of them! I hope you didn't order that particular bag - that particular bag in the picture is for a Conquest, and won't attach to either of those Convertibles. Unless there was also a Conquest not pictured. :-)

I've had that happen to me sometimes with carbon brushes.. I know the noise you mean.  You can try replacing the carbon brushes, taking them out and turning them around, or letting it run for a while with the belt disconnected.   I love the model 36, that color is such a nice shade of...

This is a tough one... I would say its a model 67 if I had to choose between the two. The "Hoover" on the bag seems to be reflective, which it would have been on the model 67, not the 65. That ink used on the 67's bag was silver. What throws me though is the tie that the gentleman in the...

I did hear that Kirby changed its tune and photos are no longer allowed.

What kind of carpet do you have, and which carpet-height setting are you running the machine on?

I also disagree that the CWP brushrolls are crap. I think they work very well on particular machines; in the end, it's certainly nice to see something modern available for a machine that hasn't been in domestic production in nearly 23 years.   I would not use a CWP brushroll in ANY...

You can tell by just flipping it over -- the underside will either be metal or plastic.  My U4101 is on the right; a newer Decade 800 is on the left. 

Model U4101 That's the model that my parents had, which I grew up with.  Does this one have a metal or plastic chassis under the hood?  Great model from 1978 or so; one of the first models to use the type A bag.  Lots of memories!

As odd as it is to lump those three brand names together, I got an email from TTI alerting me to an "up to" 80% off sale that's going on... Looked through what they have for sale and there are some pretty good deals in the mix. Mostly 'factory reconditioned' or 'damaged box' units. Flat rate...

Love that check-box option! Perfection!    Giving it a try from work...
