    Hoover 29 Cloth Bag Repair

    Since I am a Quilter I know my way around a sewing machine. This repair presented some challenges since the tears are right along the top of the bag really close to the edge with a elevated edge that goes under the bag clamp. The good news is that the repair will be under the clamp so won't...

    Hoover 29 Cloth Bag Repair

    When Charlie sent the 29 back he reminded me that there was some tearing of the bag at the top under the bag clamp. Since this bag is otherwise in excellent condition and I do want to use this machine, these tears need to be repaired as to not worsen.

    The Hoover 29 is Home (Again!!)

    This machine is all original Cord and bag and nary a scratch on the machine. It is literally like brand new. The cord is starting to show a bit of age, but is original. These bags are nearly impossible to find now since they took a beating in use.

    The Hoover 29 is Home (Again!!)

    Well this machine has more frequent flyer miles than I do. This is a special machine to me since I had one in college given to me by my sister-in-law from her mother who replaced it with a Dial-A-Matic Powerdrive. When I started collecting, this machine appeared on EBay and I bid furiously on...

    Can you use inner bag in Kirby III?

    Here Is My Classic III bought new in 1976 and sent back to the factory for a rebuild. Kirby offered a paper bag conversion which was the Legend II bag assembly with original red trim. Works wonderfully. This is a daily driver.

    It's Wonderful to have Friends like Owen

    Rex The Filtex was hooked up to a 120V 30 amp circuit. That is a bit unusual. Optimal setup at that amperage would be 240V which would be more efficient. Not sure why they did it that way (as well as the Silent Master which is closer to 120V and 30 amps). It needs a special circuit no matter...

    It's Wonderful to have Friends like Owen

    BTW Just had Tarantula Arms West converted to solar power by Sun Power. The installers were intrigued by the central vac in the garage. They had never seen one before. Going green and saving a bunch on money on Southern California Edison bills (should zero out.) Not bad for having a swimming...

    It's Wonderful to have Friends like Owen

    Owen is a Prince I have known him since he was a pup. He suggested I swap out my MD Silent Master S5 at Tarantula Arms for a high-end Filtex which he provided so that I could take the Silent Master with me. It is now installed at Tarantula Arms West in Palm Springs. Thanks again Owen. And...
