That and toothpaste works well on the rubber as well just be sure to rinse it off wiping it with a damp rag afterwards.Great find,I'd be proud of that one if it were mine.

I wanted to add that the minor scratches come out great with soft scrub or a light rubbing compound.If you lightly use soft scrub and a little windex followed by a little car wax the finish should turn out beautiful.Also a light rubbing compound followed by a damp rag then some hand buffing...

Awesome Electrolux!It looks to be in nice shape!I have one Electrolux myself and they are terrific Vacs.I'm sure glad you were able to save it.It is a really well preserved machine and I love the styling they had on the model L to me it has a classy look to it and I heard that the Model L was...

Ok Ben Thank you then it is a replacement bag that was on the 1CR when I found it.The other bag that I put on the 1CR does belong with only the Omega then or was the Classic's bag the same?Her'es a pic of the Patch of the gold bag.

Wow!Thank's Jeff.I'm new to collecting vacuums. When I was little I had this thing for the Kirby because it too had the polished metal.I didn't know it was that new though.All I could find were a few in a picture that were similar dating to the early thirties.In Ben's post he said that the...

I just looked at the two that I have and can see the major differences between the two.Though to me the Omega looks more bulkier than the 1CR.In your opinion witch one is a better Vac?Some say they don't care for the Omega because it's bigger and harder to direct then again I seen where someone...

Thanks Ben,I do have the gold bag with the Kirby Classic and it also has the horseshoe on it and is more like jean fabric that bag originally came with the Omega and the other bag is a pinkish color with brownish ovals was on the 1 CR.One more thing what product would do the best job on cleaning...

Rosewood bag that originally came on the 1-CR in the pic.Does it belong with the 1-CR?Someone told me that it could be a replacement bag and didn't come with the 1-CR.

early 70s Omega as found I plan on restoring this one maybe too.

I was wondering if anyone can tell me is this 1-CR that I found equipped with the original bag? I have a second bag as well that is rosewood in color with small print Kirby on it.Witch is witch?I also just ran across an Omega Classic from the early 70's as well and my question is what were the...

Great find!That's an awesome vac too.I love the excitement I get when I find them put to the wayside because they think they are useless machines.Awesome story by the way.

I have been into antique radios and Televisions for some time now and that has been a passion of mine along with the restoration of them as well.Among collectors Zenith radios are some of the most desirable radios for collectors to obtain and to find a Zenith Vacuum Wow!That's incredible and it...

It seems like there were many companies that used the height adjustment like this one too.

Here's the bag that I think is probably original too.It's not the best picture as the little black spots are on my lens but as for the bag I think it's a pretty cool looking print.I am going to do a you tube and post it in operation for others that might find one and be curious to see it...

I took a couple of other pics of it and posted them.I didn't find many pics on it and wanted to help others try to find out more about them as well.I had a couple of spots on my lens though.Maybe someone can tell me how to read it's serial number to find out it's year out of curiosity?
