Hello Jason and All, You also might want to try VacParts+ Which is a division of The Henry Company. The have found or had items with were really hard to find for several of my late 20's Hoovers and a late 30's Royal. Steve Henry is really great so do contact him. In the late 70's I worked at a...

Hello All and Hoover lovers, Looks like someone found a new RS in the box. Drat, there goes my dreams of getting thousands for my poor broken RS. Well maybe I can get thousands for my nice good used one? I heard that. LOL. Now if it were that all illusive GE 111 with a headlight I would be in...

Hi Antoine and All, I understand not having the right tools you could not take it apart. The Compact is looking good without taking it apart and that is what counts. Keep the good work up and keep the videos coming. I might have a few pictures somewhere with a Compact taken apart. Thank you for...

Hi Antoine and All, I have watched several of your videos on YouTube. I liked seeing the Electrolux APP 200 and you had a lot of good information for all of us. I knew the Canadian Electrolux were not the same as the US ones. Keep the good work up. I have few Cats along with a few Vacuums but no...

Hello Compactc9guy and All, I have a question regarding painting the Compacts. I mean no harm but when I rebuilt these Compacts for the used sales floor I would take them completely apart. I knocked out the switch pad pin, the lid lock pin, the rear wheel pins and the lid pin. **Caution must be...

Hello Nicolas, I think the Hoover Senior is the same as our Convertibles so I attached a picture of the bottom of an old Convertible and those 2 screws will release the hood and you will have access to the bulb. I hope this will help you and that is a similar model to your. Good Luck, Pete

Hello All and Phillip, I had no idea the Convertibles were made up to 1992. My other RS is 0192 so it is January 1992. Am I right in thinking the Hoover Convertibles were made from 1957 to 1992? My grandparent built the new home and move into it in 1957 and they retired their Rexair Model B and...

Hello FCS3, broomvac and All, I have no need of the Hoover RS and I am not sure of it having any value. I own a Hoover RS I bought a month ago. See Thread #32212, Post #378472 and you will see the Hoover RS I bought. At the time I just thought it was a nice looking good Convertible and was going...

Hello All and Hoover lovers, Hoover Convertible is it Junk? There are 15 pictures for you to look at and decide if it is junk. The Fan #38755010 is not repairable as it has nail holes, new fan cost $14.00. Fan casing has holes and could be repaired with JB Weld or similar. The motor base plate...

Hi Brian and All, That is a great looking Electrolux 1521 Ultralux. I think you got a good price on a really clean machine and I bet it will run like new. I have a Lux G I bought years ago and I just got a Silverado off Craigslist which is no way near as nice as your 1521. I have seen too often...

Hi All, I looked around and found a Kirby 518 and light socket in it is the same as what is on my Kirby 519 so I am thinking it is correct. When I replaced the safety switch on the Omega it totally fell apart so it was a good idea to replace it. Thank you for looking, Pete

Hi Ben and All, I know Chicago Mike is. I tried to order an Omega patch from him but he gets busy. I have worked on a lot of Kirby’s but not newer than the D80. For me even though it is an old machine the Omega is new for me LOL. I could change the fan on the old one easy and fast at the shop...

Hello Calem member Cb123 and All, I have an Omega with a cracked safety switch it did work but not so good in pieces like that. I was given a parts Omega it just had the motor, head light casting and front fan casting with the safety switch. I have to thank Cb123 as I never replace a safety...

Hello Tom, What might be left in the way of upright Singer Vacuums? Such as any of the A-Series, R-Series and S-Series? I also need an odd part for a Hoover 305 or another 305. Thank you for your time, Pete

Hello Jeff and All, I agree that it should be a rubber bumper. It looks like if I can get the bumper for a 189 it would work as it should be about the same size. There is a new Royal UR38200 with a black bag and black trim but the bumper looks like it is thicker and too wide for the 129. In...

Hello All, My grandmother had Asthma and she had a Rexair Model B. My grandfather had to get it because of her breathing problems. They used it up until about 1958 when they bought a Hoover Convertible which was okay as the paper bags did work good. They put the Rexair in the garage and after...

Hello Frank, Jeff and All, That is interesting and the 3rd picture that shows the bag puffed up is similar to how I remember the bag on my mom's Royal with the brush roll. I have no idea why I remember that the bag was black unless my buying the Royal made the memory kick back in. I bought it...

Hi Ben, I think the keeeeeyboard made me do it. It just couldn't be my brain or fingers that made me type the wrong number, right. Thank you, Pete

Hello All, Jeff and Frank, Yes, it is shinny under the nameplate of the Royal 129. I cleaned the nameplate and belt cover as much as I could without removing the black paint. Also I bent part of the inner nozzle rug plate as best I could and it now fits but I believe the original would fit...

Hello Rob and All I just talked to James at Kirby Service Shop in Plano Texas, a really nice person. He looked in all his boxed up D80s and none of them had the green #192967 power cord with them. Well I snoozed and lost out on 2 of them on eBay. You know that saying "you snooze, you lose", yep...
