Hmmmm... tolivac said "You can move a human being with a vehicle equipped with a motor of LESS than 1/2 HP!" You ain't met my sister-in-law. That CAT 2700hp 16 cylinder you speak of might get her to budge, however...

This is a subject that always gets me... ...because in the early days, I fell for the more is better numbers as well. I have 3 Royals of the 6 amp variety. They are not vacuums, they are Urban Dirt Assault Machines. A 9 or 10 amp Royal? That's scary. The government should mandate a license to...

Rules are meant to be broken... ...and for a 'lux 1205 (I just got mine a few days ago!) you'd have been a fool to pass it up. Besides...you don't HAVE to call it a vacuum. You can call it an "electric shag rug rake." And...yah know....yeah, we call these "vacuums" but a lot of them are...

Daily Driver? Go for the Tristar...dumping the slag from the Rainbow will get old really fast, believe me. Whichever one you get, show us pics when you get it :) John

AMEN, Rex! Rex/tolivac said "If you must use the beater bars on a roller brush bar-please use the POLISHED METAL ones only-no plastic.Plastic bars can be nicked,cracked or broken if they hit something hard like a coin or peice of gravel-than the nicked or broken bar becomes a carpet DESTRUCTION...

*nodding* Brandon, I've had that experience. It took 3 weeks to get my Kirby 560. The guy listed it, I emailed him. Didn't hear from him, so figured it sold. A week later he calls. Leaves a message. I call him. Leave a message. A week later I email him, finally we make voice contact...

I believe ...we've seen your Filter Queen on another thread. So this is a repeat. I'm sure you'll come across the floor pad sooner or later. The reference to "someone else" was not necessary. If someone doesn't like someone else's postings -- just don't read those threads. That might be the...

BTW... ...the top of the Princess looks white in this pic, but it's the light blue that you would expect.

I also got... ...a Premier hand vac, some other goodies, and another Electrik Broom. You know how some friends when you're leaving, give you a slice of cake or something to take home? I have a buddy who seems to do this with Electrikbrooms! I need to take a pic of it and post it. J.

Isn't she beautiful? Gorgeous..complete, with just a regal touch of mystery....like what's the little wheely thing? And to protect my beautiful Eureka Princess from any roll around (of the head) tragedies like other European monarchies is the GE Swivel Top. Dave, the metal flange that you...

Ah, but Brandon... ...can't fault you for the excitement though...and your enthusiasm for these things at your age. It's great to see someone who gives a dang, is interested in these vacuums, their history, their manufacture. Not only do I admire you for it, but I thank you for it as well...

I look really bad in stripes! Rick....that "70's Hoover Bag Jumpsuit" does make your butt look big.

As Dave said... "The Fact Finding, Sharing & Confirmation VCCC Forum at it's best!" BINGO! And this is what I like on these forums! I save, print this stuff out, and put it in a notebook. This, along with my own notes adds to the fun for me. That way too, when I go to that great filthy...

Noting... ...the Snellville return address, I'd be careful handling those things...you don't know where they might have been.

Nope... ...fill tube on my G4 goes straight into the emtor. No tape job anywhere.

Back to the G4.... ...standby!

Good grief, man! Call a cab to take you to U-Haul or Ryder. Rent a truck, and GO!

Just checked my G4... ....it has a white reinforced nylon strap with a triangular button. This loops through a slot on the fill tube and is then buttoned.

Canadian? So, you're telling me this isn't just a Electrolux 1205. but an Electrolux 1205eh? I know *groan* -- but I couldn't resist! ~John

As you see.... ...this little guy will need some TLC -- but around here, that's the fun part. :-)
