I have a friend that is starting a cleaning business and asked...

I would like to ask anyone for their oppinion on the clarke back-pac vacuum w/power head or if you know of any other brand of commercial back-pac vacuum with a power head. I have a friend that is starting a cleaning business and asked me what I thought. I figured someone here in the forum could...

I must say that I got a kick out of all the postings here. It gave me a good laugh, but please be carefull so as not to go too far camping it up. Best Always, Edward

Owned one at one time I too had one of those Premier Commercial vacuums back in the late 1970's and traded it for a Kirby 560 in 1988. I must admit that it was a great cleaner. I bought it at my local J. C. Penney store in Holyoke, Ma. on sale for around $100. I sometimes regret trading it in...

My other one. I have a couple more that I have yet to take pictures of. Edward

Two of my Premier vacs I aquired these 2 uprights between 2002 and 2006. Here's the 1st one.

That picture reminded me of the cellar at a vacuum repair shop that was in Agawam, Massachusetts not far from where I live. I know the owner and helped him over a 5 week span of time as he moved to a new location in 2003. Sadly there was an awful lot of vacuums and parts that were left behind...

Hi All: I have that particular model #AVF 28, Ser # 34664. I had this model years ago and sold it in 1990 when I needed cash. When I saw it on E-Bay in 2007 I had to get it to replace the one I sold. Edward

Hey Jeff: Mine is a model 29 with the serial # 610113 listed on the vacuums plate. I'm sorry that I can't give more information on it as all but three of my uprights had to be placed in storage at my sister's request. I do check on them once a month to make sure they are ok. Edward

I like the pictures that you took of your Regina "Crown". That is a beautiful looking machine. I too have an old Regina that I bought on E-Bay a few years ago that I would like to share with you. Edward

Great Videos This is my first chance to check out the message board since the convention. I just want to say thank you for the great videos posted on Youtube by Jack and Jeff from the gathering in Ohio. I was unable to make it and from what Victor told me last Sunday that it really was a great...

As much as I would have enjoyed coming out to North Canton, Ohio for this year's gathering and tour of the Hoover and Kirby factories I must pass this year due to budget constaints. It is with much hope that I might make next years gathering and get to meet the members of this club. So Terry and...

I want to thank you all for the warm reception to this group. Yes, Jeff those are my picture of some of the uprights I own. I didn't start taking pics of them until the last few years of buying these wonderful machines. I hope to eventually take pictures of my other uprights. I would like thank...

I am new to this group and look forward to chatting with in this forum. I currently have over 70 uprights in my collection from straight suction machines from the 1920's to a few cleaners of recent years.

In the movie Blondie Takes a Vacation I believe a Hoover was used. There is something wrong with the bag and Dagwood uses a tire inner tube for the bag which becomes quite large and the vacuum floats up to the ceiling if I remember correctly.
