Its Here! Well it finally came, My Stark Deluxe 880. Heres a few pics

I just unboxed my Stark 880 a little bit ago. Honestly, I think the 880 is more stable than my 801, which has all narrow wheels. The 801 tends to tip towards the bag side. I am liking the 880, much more powerful than my 801, but my 801 may need bearings. I also got the headlight working on the...

I cannot for the life of me get the top to unscrew, thats why I asked because I thought maybe it didnt come apart.

jealous. I wish somebody would gift me a convertible :-/ Not even any good machines to buy at thrift shops, all dirt devils LOL

wow $100 including shipping, you got a heck of a deal on those 2 kirbys

Ben, You might want to try adjusting the brushroll. My 801 brushroll has numbers on it like a kirby's brushroll. Set it to 3 and see if that helps. Also, if you are looking for the air freshener crystals I have attached a link where you can buy them. On a side note, do you think bearings are...

I just love that blue Stark bag. Is yours also a 4.5 amp?

Ben, Where did u pick that up? Please do post pics and maybe a video

Its in my state! I do hope it arrives tomorrow and undamaged. I cant wait, darn you usps hurry up!

I love the blue color! I cant wait to see mine in person, I like the stark bag better than the royal.

Thanks, I love this vacuum even more now! now if only I could find an original bag for it..

I couldnt detach the bag so I hosed out the inside in the tub, taking care to keep water where it should be. I didnt use soap because I worry about the dye bleeding but its clean now. just waiting for it to dry now. Im not sure how common or uncommon these are, I just saw it was a regina and...

I picked this up at a thrift shop for $3 today. Its a Regina ElectrikBroom 3 speed. The motor was a bit dry when I bought it so I tore it apart and lubed it. Seems to work OK. I get the feeling if I washed the cloth bag it would have alot more suction. Does anybody know how to remove the bag...

Ben, I havent received it yet. It wont be here till next week. I sure hope it doesnt get damaged, At least its all metal so theres less chance. Has anybody purchased a machine from that seller to know how well they pack things?

I found a dremel with buffing wheel sped things up considerably. It took the oxidation right off, but looked like a used a grinder almost. A final hand buff smoothed everything out though. Using the dremel did in seconds what would normally take 15 minutes of rubbing the same spot.

I am very happy with the results! It looks 20 years younger. I wish it didnt have those scratches on the nozzle but thats what you get with 50 years of use

turned off the flash because it was ruining the mirror effect

Drumroll Please.. Here she is, and all her shiny metal glory :-) I think it came out nice, I could have done a better job if I spent more time on it but I work full time. Tell me what you guys think.
