That's actually a newer model. mine is an SC-1, and that one is an SC-2. Don't know if they changed the color or if it just looks darker because of the lighting in the ad picture. But they are a powerful machine! Mine is one of the "family vacs" in my collection and belonged to an Aunt (my Dad's...

Westinghouse The Westinghouse you have pictured there looks a lot like mine, which is all original except for the hose and the cord. I'd like to find the original turquoise hose for it too (matches the bottom part of the cannister and the attachments), but until I do I'll be happy with it as...

Paul, Uncle Charley also used the Lux XXX, in fact it was the ONLY vacuum I remember seeing on My Three Sons. Sometimes you would also see one of the boys carrying it upstairs or downstairs. I think the only member of that family who DIDN'T do anything with the Lux was the Dad, Steve Douglas...

The Hoover 26 and 28 both use the same hose and attachments, only the converter (and the tool caddy) is different, and the one from the 26 will not fit the 28. Here are pics of my 26 and 28 with the Cleaning Tools, but the pics are probably too small to get a good look at the converters. If I'm...

Huskyvacs, I never heard that saying before, but I like it! As for the box, I don't think there's much I can do with it, as part of the flaps were torn off. But I'll at least try to do something with it. Thanks for the suggestion. Jeff

Thank You John! Looks like you all had a great time, and it was nice of you to share it with all of us here, especially the pics! I haven't been to the museum or Tom's house in several years but hope to get up that way again some time. Thanks again, Jeff

I had always hoped to get a set of attachments (or as Hoover calls them, Cleaning Tools) for my Hoover 305 but didn't think it would happen, due to their rarity. However, I found this set on ebay and got them for $10.00 plus shipping, and they arrived Tuesday. The original box is in bad shape...

So Sad To Hear This I did get to meet him at the Canton Convention in 08 and enjoyed visiting with him there. Jeff

Gary, I knew it would polish up beautifully! Glad to hear it is also running smooth! However, it's hard to set a price for it, and as they usually say here and in the other groups, it's only worth what someone is willing to pay you for it. On one hand, it's in great shape, all original, and...

WOW! That is the first upright version of the Modern Hygiene I've ever seen, until now I've only seen tank models of that brand! It is almost identical to an Electro-Hygiene from the same era, which would be mid to late 30's or possibly as late as 1941, but definitely pre-war. The Royal is a...

Yes, I knew the cloth tool rack was for the Kenkart when I got it, but I bought it for the attachments that were with it that I needed. And since I have it I do keep the attachments in it. I'd rather have the burgundy attachment box that came with this model if it ever turns up. Do you by any...

Here's Mine The tank version without the cart, model 116.730. My parents had the same model when I was growing up, for the basement and to clean out the cars. This one only had the hose, wands, rug nozzle, and dust brush with it, so I bought the Kenkart caddy to get the rest of the attachments...

That's absolutely beautiful! you did an excellent job on it! Jeff

Romain, Glad you enjoyed the pics. I do try to have the vacs in my collection as complete as possible, however the Electro-Hygiene is missing the wands, floor brush, and crevice tool, and the Kirby is missing the hose. Ben, you are partially right, but there's really no connection between...

Hey Tom, While you're looking through those totes of old cloth bags, do you suppose you might have any pre-war style Electro-Hygiene bags in there? If so, let me know what you would need for it. The printing would look like what you see on the black patch on the bag of this model 94, with...

Tom, Thank you for the compliments, always glad to share my knowledge, especially when it will be helpful. It was indeed a pleasure meeting you and giving the Apex Rotarex to you for the Museum, knowing it would be a better home for something that rare and unusual than in my collection. And...

$25 for both isn't too bad. Couldn't tell if the Kirby is an Omega or just a Classic. They both would clean up real nice. Here's what they would both look like cleaned up and with attachments. Jeff

Overpriced Health-Mor I agree with Tom, if I could get that much out of my machines, I'd be putting them up for sale too! By the way Tom, your Health-Mor is absolutely beautiful and complete, especially with both of the original bags! I have one too, but no attachments and mine has a generic...

That looks a lot like my model 39 Regina pictured here with the attachments. And I agree with Kieran, date wise we're looking at closer to 1935, and definitely not worth the price. Jeff

Cassie, I sent you an email earlier today but got back a message saying, "Your email cannot be delivered; this mailbox is disabled." Anyway, I would be interested in the Royal power nozzle cords, the cord with the inline switch, and any other Royal parts or accessories you might have, except...
