I didn't know ...that Royal made one of their uprights with a removable front like a Kirby? Have you ever seen one? Do you know about when it was made? Does anyone in the club have one? Just wondering. I have never seen one or heard of anything like that.

I know.... ...the person who painted this Model XXX is color blind. That's got to be it!

Boundaries Fred, I want to add my support and gratitude for your willingness to insist on appropriate conversational boundaries on this site. Doing so maintains the dignity and accessiblity of our web site and our club. It is the only way a club such as ours will be able to endure in the long...

I cannot imagine... ...draging that table around the house! The storage is really cool, but actually cleaning by dragging a coffee table behind seems way over the top! I wonder how many of these were sold and if they had several models of them? How long this went on?

Here's a question for all the Hoover experts: why did the Hoover change the design of the hose ending from the early 1930's when it had the curved design, to the completely straight end which went from the Model 150 through the Model 63 early version? The later version of the 63 all the way...

Someone needs to write one.....! I suggested to Tom Gasko that he do just that. He is a living encyclopedia of vacuum cleaner informaton. But of course I know there are many in the club who have a remarkable breath of knowledge about these machines. Perhaps that could be a project for the...

Again... This evening just before the 5 PM evening news the same Aerus[Electrolux] television ad came on again. This time I saw the whole thing. It begins with a full screen picture of an Electrolux Model XXX and goes on about remembering Electrolux the "home cleaning experts." Well...

I couldn't believe my eyes! Wandered into my study and the TV happened to be on. There before my eyes was a television commercial on the NBC affiliate for the local Aerus Branch Office [I think only one of two in the metro Memphis area]. They showed the Guardian; then the Ultralux upright and...

All you have to do is look at it... In my humble opinion, it's a contraption! When I first saw the "Z" in Target last summer I was dumfounded. Who would clean with this and how? It says AWKWARD all over it. What in the world was Hoover thinking? The earlier Hoover cleaners had style, elegance...

Shipping on this Lux I think the shipping is adjusted to the zip code of each individual's eBay information. I don't know how it's done because I've never sold on eBay; but I have noticed several of these items with the automatic calculation of shipping cost set up as per one's zip code. If...

Small Kirby Nozzle I must chime in to affirm Charles-Richard's experience with the small nozzle on the Legend. The smaller nozzle does make a difference with these machines.

Sorry... Meant for the above to go in thread 298...!

Small Kirby Nozzle I must chime in to affirm Charles-Richard's experience with the small nozzle on the Legend. The smaller nozzle does make a difference with these machines. I am going to look into the brush roll with the extra brush strips too.

Dial a Matic on eBay CJ, Here's one that's recently listed. http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-70s-Hoover-Dial-A-Matic-Vacuum-Cleaner_W0QQitemZ200038300842QQihZ010QQcategoryZ115993QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

The Vault..........! Absolutely it would be great to see the pictures. And perhaps someone could talk Hoover into another tour one of these days.

IBAISAIC From what I understand from Don O'Connor whose father worked for Hoover in Youngstown Ohio from the earliest days and who himself has also worked for Hoover, IBAISAIC was a publication/newsletter for sales personnel and other related folks who worked for Hoover. I saw an entire album...

Thanks...! Thanks Jack and Tom for all the interesting history. I didn't know that Henry Dreyfuss worked for Hoover for that long let alone that it was he who designed the trademark. Tom, I am not surprised at all that the Hoover trademark is among the top ten! There is such richness to the...

Here's a question for all the Hoover history experts. Just wondering about the round Hoover logo: when was it designed and first used? Who designed it? Any other info about it? I thought this might be interesting for all of us to know.

1205 vs Model G The 1205 is much, much noisier than the Model G. The Model G has all kinds of buffers around the motor to make it that quiet. I sold for Electrolux during the 1205 era [late 60's -- 'early 70's]. When engineers developed the 1205, they did research into many things and one of...

Ditto..! I was thinking the same thing. Ever since Tom Gasko taught me all about the Hoover 150 and then actually showed me one, I have thought to myself that this was one of the finest cleaners Hoover ever made, if not, in fact, the finest. They really got it all together with this one. Bruce
