So Happy for you.... Hey Scott, Yes, I would have to say that this TANK is a great addition to your wonderful HOOVER collection so it's surely in good company. I've already given some thought to the next chapter of your collection,(lol) so 'hold on to your wallet!'(LOL) Patience will...

Very nice Constellation! What a beautiful color and in awesome condition! Very nice. RB

No doubt, XXX's and G's are headliners in this group ...and I'm fortunate enough to have multiple incarnations of each. Both are great machines, but although I do not have a production tally of G's manufactured, I venture to say neither the G's nor any other vacuum that comes to mind would...

Fore-runner Nice Vac! That was the fore-runner to the GE/Premier Vac-Kit of the 30's, I believe, that has been on The Forum not too long ago! (The earlier ones were a round TANK as opposed to the GE Tidy being essentially square.) They're fun! RB

No Dirt Devil stuff, please...... No Dirt Devil stuff......EVER!!!!   lol   P.S.   BEAUTIFUL Black and Red, above. Rick

whacky weed..... ...And not sharing! :)

HandiSacs Hello Robert, I would be very happy to purchase all of them through you if that is an option. Just let me know and thanks for posting this. Rick B

YES INDEED, John... You are RIGHT!!!!! RB

More Lux Stories! Here, Here! The connection you have through your Dad is great to hear (of) and any 'inside stories' would be "manna from heaven" for those of us that imbibe Electrolux (too!) I have my feet firmly planted in two camps, Electrolux and Hoover, and have been fortunate enough to...

a case of killing the patient Depends if you want a clean patient (or one with back problems!) Please know I am saying this in jest or 'tongue-N-cheek', being an avowed Hoover and Electrolux fan. I did have a Kirby once.... Rick B

NOS Bags I would give my left one for most any early NOS (Hoover) bags!! Rick B

Carbon Dust There is a solution to this! Electrolux vacuums from 1930 to 1957 (models XII to AE) have exhaust filtration (done away with on the AF later in 1957). It really does capture both dust having escaped the bag ('Dirt Trap' in Electrolux jargon) PLUS carbon dust being emitted. At...

The 63 series was Hoover at its finest!! At least that's my opinion. They are such awesome machines (all 5 of them) and yours appears to be very, very well taken care of. The bag and cord speak volumes (at least to me. At least I don't hear 'voices!' LOL) Rick B

Hoover 638 Very nice find, David. This series is among my favorite and they are nearly bullet-proof! Enjoy it. Rick

Today's stuff is, well....lacking It IS indeed! The newest cleaner I use in my house is a Hoover 719, among the last of the 'real convertibles' plus a Lux 30 as my daily drivers. Imagine most any machine manufactured anytime recently being in use in 45-60 years and running as well as it did...

Model 'T' or THRIFT The 'T' was made for a relatively short time in 1956. They literally have an 'LX' handle (remnants?) and untilize the 30/XXX cloth Bag and have the 'full-sized' 535-watt motor. While most came with a traditional Belden cord and plug (as did the E and AE and previous...

give them a good steam bath and a scrub!! Do it with a buddy. It benefits the the vacuum and both workers while saving on energy costs! Rick B

On the early Electrik Broom: Neil, I think/hope this will help. It is from a former hostorian of the Club: Rick B Post# 82174-10/9/2009-23:49 ||| caligula (Allentown Pa.) Todays History lesson--(HE'S A LITTLE DRAMATIC) The Regina Electric broom. Before I answer that question, I'm going to...

Hey John, I think if you cleaned yours up, it might have some potential!!! (ducks and runs!) What an amazing machine and piece of Americana and Hoovercana! RB
