Hello huskyvacs, For some reason they indicate the shipping cost to me is also $84.00 and I am about 50 miles from the Goodwill store in Orange County and about an hour and half in California traffic to get there. They indicate that it is "This item has a fixed shipping price of $87.25 (Shipping...

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...

Hello All and huskyvacs, Check out Thread Number 4687 from Sept. 2008 with some good information. Regina is one of the oldest vacuums going back to hand pump days. Thank you for looking, Pete

An Ad for the Ohio Tuec Vacuum on eBay Hello EllenK727 and All, Great little vacuum you have. On eBay there is an ad from 1923 for the Ohio Tuec which is interesting. It indicates the wheels drive the brush and and when you put the handle down it will start the motor. eBay Item No...

Hello All and jordan3399, There is Thread No. 113 from 09-10-2006, Post No. 956 that could be of interest to you and in that same Thread is Post No. 968 which shows pictures of a Hoover Model 60 with the handle mounted handle release. I believe Hoover made the Model 60 from 1940 to 1942 with...

Hello All, Thanks, I got may question answered on Thread No. 23408. Thank you for looking, Pete

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

Hello All, Is it Art, Creative or what? Drat, the cord winder still works. Thank you for looking, Pete

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...

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. I can not say I remember exactly as it has been years since I did it. There are a few new ones on eBay just look up Eureka CWP 244 and it should bring up...

Illustrations of Old Models Hello All, I figured that this should be added to this Thread rather than starting a new one. I find these old Hoover models interesting and I hope you do also. Vacuumland if full of information from past Threads and I find it fun to revisit them. These came off a...

Hello All and kirby519, I did not realize the booklet had a copyright date of 1910. I guess all old upright vacuums had attachments available for them and this Hoover's look really complete. I found the instruction for cleaning the bag and the sealing really interesting. I believe the booklet...

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...

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...

Wow, that is lots of money Hello All, I see the Singer R4D is back on eBay. I have to agree with dysonman1 that some members have their Singers. I have 3 of those great machines; R1, R4 and R4D. I thought I paid a lot for my R4D but no way near what this one is on eBay for. Good luck on...

I see you have both of the machines on eBay. They are both nice machines.

This is really troublesome, I have wrapped that darn cord the wrong way and have caused a stampede.

Sort of an interesting mix of colors and parts.

Figure 8 Is your Bison cord wrapped correctly?
