Alright. Here's the pics I promised!   First shot is the Rainbow with a Wessel-Werk power nozzle from an Oreck Dutch-Tech canister. For those of you wondering how I made this work, I had a Rainbow electric hose from a D3 that had a pigtail end, so I just plugged that into the W-W wand and it...

The verdict is in: I am completely and 100% sold on the concept of the Rainbow system. I apologize for not sharing pics yet. I've been so caught up in cleaning every square inch of the house from ceiling to floor and everything in between. As for the machine itself, it looked beautiful in the...

A never used Aqua-Mate with the box if you want it :-P 

You got it right with Rainbow!    I picked up a near PRISTINE 1986-1990 D4 for an absolute song last week. I'll be posting plenty of pics when the box gets opened up!

Think door to door sales, my friend. I know you can get this one!

Not quite, but good guesses! A bit higher end than those. 

<span style="font-family: terminal, monaco; font-size: 12pt;">I awoke today to a very large "thud" on the porch, followed by someone banging on the door. I'd been expecting a reasonably large box containing an eBay purchase, but wasn't expecting a box so large that a mini fridge and a microwave...

The Eureka F&G style upright is one of the greatest carpet cleaning machines ever devised. Excellent brushrolls, extreme airflow, and gigantic paper bags to catch all the crap. You may recognize these as the ancestor to what we still know as the Sanitaire commercial and household uprights.

Brushroll's bearings went bad. Time for a new brush. They're fairly cheap. Less than $25 and you'll be as good as new.

Nice job! I wish we had gotten clutch-less DC07 and DC14 models here in the USA. They really look nice and look to do a nice job.

I'll throw in another vote for the Hoover SteamVac. I own 2 Dual V models and 3 of the standard squared off tank models. (Can you tell I like them?) My oldest is from 2001 and it is still in perfect working condition. Only thing I ever had to replace was the cord. My newest is from late...

Sure. I'll dig them out tomorrow and photograph them for you.

Jake, I have an original (dirty, but original!) bag for that machine, as well as a set of nozzle wheels. If you'd like them, they're yours for the cost of shipping.

Excellent. We curmudgeonly Northern grammar Nazis applaud you, Clayton! Now if only you could influence the majority of your generation!

Sonnyndad, you took the words right out of my mouth.....I'm a little older than high school age myself, but proper grammar knows no age limit! P.S. your own posts are always a pleasure to read, entirely legible, descriptive, and clear, concise photos! Keep up the good work!

Shoot me an email.

Hans, dear, I THINK I have some vintage generic bags for those. I'll have to check, but I'm almost positive!!!

Great buy, Matty! (Greetings from the Northeast PA Matt!) Your mother will love her Kirby as Dan has already expressed. The three of us should get together for a mini meet sometime. I'm in your part of the New Jersey fairly often :-)

The museum is in Missouri, not Texas.
