Who here has used a Scott & Fetzer Wireless Vac-u-ette? I'm quite curious on how well they actually work? I have only seen one video and it didnt show it cleaning. I want one really bad but if it doesnt work very well I really dont want to spend that kind of money. Pics and VIDEO would be awesome!

I wonder who won this beautiful machine? I would have loved to have it, but I'm saving for a new apartment.

bearing you can tell by looking at it if its a sleeve or ball bearing. There would be a place to add oil just to the rear of the fan housing on the right side. It will be either a red cap or more likely a screw. my 801 has front and rear sleeve bearings with screws instead of red oil caps. if...

cleveland the cord is unusable. I would really like it in working conditition and was going to replace it with the same twisted cloth cord. I was still going to keep the little bit of original cord thats left

so indeed it is rare? how much do you think its worth should I decide to sell it? I may put a new cord on it from sundial wire

the cleveland does not have a latch that holds the nozzle on. it is held on by 4 flat head screws around the fan case. The earliest patent is March 19, 1907 and the latest is July 11, 1922

caligula Alex, since you are so knowledgeable in early vacs, maybe you could give me more info about my cleveland suction cleaner? heres a link to the thread as far as strangest thing in a vacuum, my kirby R had sucked up a hotwheels car by the previous owner...

I finished shining the kirby classic 1-CR. It looks alot better but not as good as I hoped. My buffing wheelwas shot by the time I was done so I'm sure thats why.

I'll have to think about the Kirby R. the guy, whos my dads age, said it was his grandmothers. I want to restore it but the only thing thats original is the motor

evan, I'll try to post a pic tonight. also for those who are interested I may be selling the cleveland in a month or so

when I had it apart the fan looked original, although I'm not sure how to tell. I remember we used to have an electric wall clock that if you unplugged it in plugged it back in, it would run backwards. I sure hope its working as designed

if you turn off the lights and watch the motor, is it sparking at the brushes or do you see it arcing around the armature. If you see electricity running around the armature, its most likely bad. If the brushes are shot, they might have damaged the armature.
