    wireless vacu-ette for sale

    I've had this in my collection for a year or so and I've had some "fun" with it, but it's taking up space. I really don't want to deal with ebay so I figured I'd put it here and see if anybody was interested. I haven't done a thing to it except clean/polish the front a little, just to see what...

    electrolux hose

    Lux 14 I'm going to try the plasti dip, as I have 5-6 lux hoses that are garbage for suction. I have a couple of eureka and compact "cloth" hosed. I wonder if it will work on them also. One question, how do you remove the electric pistol grip from the lux hose without damage? Also, do you...

    Eureka Roto-Matic Power Team Model 1255

    similar I've got a "princess" just like the 1246 with powerhead but it's in blue. I haven't had it out in a long time. Maybe I'll have to unpack it and post some pics.

    Lux "automatic" G help

    THANKS!!! I would greatly appreciate it. Hopefully I'm more successful with this G than I have been with the 1205 cordwinder connection you helped me with earlier this year.

    Lux "automatic" G help

    I have worked on/repaired/rebuilt just about every vac in my collection without any problems, but the lux is one that I don't know much about. I have a two tone blue G that is prestine in appearence, but when you run it, you get that awful kinda burnt old grease smell out of the exhaust. I'm...

    Bizzare Electrolux Silverado carry handle

    Hey Brian!!! I have to agree. The PN-3 and 4 were very dissappointing to me as well, but we have had this conversation before. You are as perticular about a power head as I am. At least in my opinion, for lux, I prefer the old PN-1. The PN 3&4 remind me of a filter queen powerhead as far as...

    Rare Electrolux hose

    interesting set up I've never seen a model L with that hose before. I have a 1205 with that hose, but with a curved wand end and a blue suction relief ring. I use my 1205 with a blue PN-1 with the metal wands and wand sheath. I thought that hose color/design was introduced with the 1205. I have...

    Used Vacs in your house?

    well...... with 106 vacuums at my house at present, there is always a little dirt around. LOL If they are really dirty, they get a quick "once" over in the driveway before going to my vacuum "twilight zone" (as my girlfriend calls my work area) in the basement!

    My latest find, and what a find!

    Brandon...where I found it? lol I still can't believe it myself. I was on craigslist, and a guy had an ad for an almost complete C-4 compact, which, by the way, is IMMACULATE! I bought it, and I told him that I collect vacuums. He says, are you interested in another, and I said sure. He said...

    compact C-8 turbo brush

    Does anybody out there have a C-8 power head laying around that they would be interested in selling or tradeing? I got ahold of a gorgeous "electra" complete with tools in styrofoam, and an immaculate power hose, but no turbo brush. I have several eureka heads I could use, and even my cxl brush...

    Lux 1205 help

    Jimmy... can I bypass the block all together? One of the slots in the block looks like its been hot at one time, and it's really "deformed". I can "make" the terminals on the cordwinder into male spade ends, and run my power wires off of it, so thats not a problem. I don't have the motor out...

    Lux 1205 help

    ok....so..... what is the best way to take this tank apart? also, can somebody explain to me what the purpose of the "cleaning selector" (1-6 settings) is for? I'm sure it controls suction in some way similar to a "bleeder valve". I haven't quite figured out the vacuum hoses attached to the...

    Lux 1205 help

    Thanks, Sandy as you know, I'm not a great fan of the lux, but the 1205, my olympia, and the 30 are kinda "special" (my opinion anyway) and I really like the 1205 color. If I can't fix this one, I'm gonna try to find another 1205 tank to put with this awesome hose and PN-1. When you find an...
