    Regina Vacuums

    Hello All and huskyvacs, It seems one could go a lifetime without seeing a really old Regina upright. Now there is one at the Orange County Goodwill here in California and it looks like it is wearing or sporting what I think is an old Bee-Vac shake out bag. You can check it out at...

    An Airway with a Eureka twist!

    Hello All, A curiosity question regarding the Eureka Power Nozzle on this Air-Way. Does this use the standard Eureka motor to power the brush roll? Did they leave the Eureka fan in it as working like Eureka's upright vacuums? Thank you for looking, Pete

    Electric Sweeper Vac and Apex

    Hello All, I find this Electric Sweeper Vac really interesting as it could switch from straight suction to motor driven brush with suction. I think they were manufactured in around 1919 or early 1920's. The diagram of the Electric Sweeper Vac is from www.vintagehoover.com which shows how it...

    Eureka 260 Disturbulator Lubrication

    Hello All, I believe you will have to tap/pound the roll pin out of one of the ends and pull on the other end and it should then come apart.

    Singer r4d and birtman electric vacs for sale

    Hello All, One has to remember that many of the collectors of the older vacuums started collecting them years ago when these older machines could be found easily. I am really fond of the early Singer vacuums like the R1, but there is no way I will pay $1,000.00 for one. Thank the Lord there...

    Hoover Model 725 Optional Hygienisac and Adapter

    Hello All, Well this is a rather interesting item which was sold as an option to the Shake-out cloth bag. I read that it would also fit Hoovers back to 1917 which I guess would be Model N or Model 102. All this I learned for a really old Thread No. 4075 that portable Posted 07-16-2008 titled...
