    One Ringy-Dingy...

    Going to look like I'm trying to keep up with the Johns& Hello All, Oh, it should be with the Jones'. Well my parents had my number since 1948 and I still have it in the house with 2 phones and lines in all the rooms, but I do use my cell phone all the time. Picture is of a Princess 702B dated...

    Roybi Power Tools Hello All and Gabriel, First Gabriel, that is a great looking Singer. Wow, so your Singer was made by Roybi Motor Porducts Corp of Anderson, South Carolina which is the home of Roybi Power Tools. I really found that interesting.

    When did the first Dirt Devil arrive on the on the scene?

    Hello All, May sound odd but I seem to remember buying a red upright Dirt Devil and a red hand held Dirt Devil in the mid or late 70's. I do not remember it that well and I cannot say that the hose was attached to the vacuum. Does anyone have a picture of the first Dirt Devil upright that they...

    Oh, People's Ignorance

    Ah, I don't understand, please explain Hello repairman, vacuumlad1650 and All Forgive me, I don't understand what repairman is pointing out with the link and I don't understand vacuumlad1650's reply. Now I am old so that could be why I don't understand or my tack is not as sharp as it once...

    Making you money Hello All and Rainbowvacfane2, So if an $8.00 to say $50.00 plastic machine only last you a year as long as it is cleaning good for that year it was a good investment for a startup company. Good luck with your cleaning service. Wow how many $8.00 working machines can you buy...

    Electrolux XXX question

    Sorry that is not the original hose Hello, That is not an original hose to the Electrolux XXX but those are the original hose ends. In the 70's and 80's we could get really sharp looking aqua vinyl hoses, not the swimming pool type hoses, and off white vinyl cuffs that adapted the hose to the...

    HOOVER SPECIALS

    My just received Hoover 61 and parts not need of Hoover 300 Hello All, I really did not want to buy the Hoover 61 but it looked to be in reasonably good condition and from the picture I could tell it had the Handisac outer bag but was not mentioned that it did have. As it turned out it had the...

    HOOVER SPECIALS

    I have to agree with Hoover61 about the hood Hello All and Hoover61, I would have to agree with you about Hoover using the newer Hoover 61 Hood on a Hoover 60 Special as who would want it with a scratch hood. That would not have been so good. Wondering what Hoover would have done if there were...

    HOOVER SPECIALS

    Could the date of 1950 be wrong? Hello All and Jae, I just re-read Thread Number 29565 and Hooverboy81 indicates he has a Hoover 825 Special that was rebuilt in 1951. If you read this Thread all the way to the end it does seem Hoover was rebuilding vacuums much longer than the 1950 date and...

    HOOVER SPECIALS

    100 percent correct Jae, it was a 60 Hello All and Jae, You are correct Jae, what I saw was the 60. (See Thread Number 29565) I just don't see a problem with either a 28 or a 60 being traded in for a newer model or in need of repair. The 60 pictured seems to have been turned into a 61 as it...

    My Bison Mark II and Thread Number 25205 Hello All, I have the Mark II Bison and while it has a massive amount of power it is a deafening experience to use.
