@huskyvacs Thanks! The lighting in the basement is cool white LED lighting and the camera my IPhone 11. The machines actually are very vibrant with color as I don’t believe they have been exposed to a whole lot of sun or used heavily.

Thank you for the compliment! They are very good machines indeed and some of my absolute favorites. I see you are in NY how far from Syracuse are you?

Yes it is! The bagless on the end was NIB, and all but 2 (excluding the NIB vision) have been serviced or rebuilt with some NOS parts. The 2 awaiting service are the plus (soft bag) and lite plus (black bag). I did have a can Vac, both power team and straight suction, also the pro series maroon...

As promised here is what I have dirt devil wise so far.

Is there a way we can manage to keep the thread on track without anything derogatory for once?

I have quite a few dirt devil machines. I’ll gather them tomorrow and snap a pic of what I have, I’ll even throw the royals in a pic too considering that dirt devil was made by Royal. I’m sure there are a few members here that have quite a few dirt devils too. I do have a brand new used once at...

No idea. I’d assume around 2000-01 than again, don’t quote me on that.

I actually have 2 of these, one came from a very good collector friend which it isn’t in the best of shape but it’s restorable, the other is damn near new. The “new” one was bought be a lady who used it for about a week to clean her deceased fathers house. I paid about $50 for it and find it to...

If you already have a sidekick here you go! https://www.ebay.com/itm/254524904096

The filter does have a gasket around the frame, however with the amount of air pressure behind a clogged filter where else does the air have to go other than around the edges. Basically, At that point the filter frame would flex outward regardless of the back cover holding it in place and allow...

lay the machine down flat, there are screws at the base of the head, I believe there are 4-6 screws, remove them, flip the machine over and remove the head. you will have access to the motor, belt, brush roll and headlight.

@bikerray I do stand corrected and apologize, as it has been quite some time since opening up a model 30 they do in fact use a double ball bearing motor. Both bearings do indeed require grease. 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️ Although there are a lot of electrolux models that do utilize a rear sleeve bearing and...

so there are a couple of things to look for, one as mentioned is the hose, Electrolux makes wonderful machines, however they have always lacked in the hose department, the insides are rubber coated and over the years have cracked, and degraded hence horrible leakage, another thing that you can...

Cole I managed to score the blue one of those Kenmores NIB and have used it quite a bit since i got it, love the color of yours!!! how do you like the nozzle?

Husky: I am not quite sure how rare they are actually, I am sure that they are getting to be uncommon more and more as the years go on due to lack of available parts. They are a rather large and bulky machine if you couldn't tell, and they were most commonly used in, airports, hotel lobbies...

John No I didn’t get it that dirty, it was pretty well used when I got it, and normally when something comes into my house, it immediately gets a cleaning. This was one of those things that I needed some time for and well, with this whole covid thing going on I had some time do that and some...

Tom I didn’t know you had this machine at one point! I’m glad I have it too, it might not get used much due to lack of available parts, thankfully none were missing and none are missing after the service, I made sure all parts went back where they belonged. It’s also actually very quiet for an...

I like the XL21 and a couple of the newer ones. This machine though is a beast in its own!

Back in November, my friend Evan Rogers came to visit myself and Greg Palmer on his way through to his parents. He asked me if I wanted any central vacs he had since I had mine installed back in August by Greg, and I like tinkering with machines that have been well Rrrrrrrrrinsed and put away...

The white scuffs can easily be removed with 91% rubbing alcohol and a microfiber cloth. As for the machine good buy and it’s also an earlier model (98-99 maybe 1st or second quarter 2000), early models had the screw on HEPA filter cover and the later ones had the snap on covers. The E-series...
