I’ve always been into Kirby’s, Hoover’s, Eurekas....etc. I’ve always liked uprights, but have really wanted to try a Rainbow. A gentleman posted an ad on Facebook Marketplace, so I contact him...a Rainbow SE, and a Rainbow E series plus attachments and shampooer for the SE...all for $25. So, I...

I found this old vacuum on Facebook marketplace for $10. I’m familiar with, and own quite a few Convertibles, but never one of these. Runs well, came with extra bags and belts. The lady said it belonged to her elderly mother, who passed away a year and a half ago and was the original owner. It...

Thinking of purchasing a Rainbow D2. Are they a pain in the rear? Never owned one, but wanting to try something else for a while.

We have a Kirby dealership not far from where I live. Called the shop and asked about some vintage machines and the owner called me back last night. Really nice guy that has been in the business since the DS50 was new. Told me to come down to his shop and look at what he has and pick out what I...

Never owned a Sanitare before, but have always wanted one. I picked this machine up this afternoon. It is model SC684. The bag is off and being cleaned at the moment. What can you tell me about this particular machine? I’m by no means an expert...I do have similar Eurekas, but my first Sanitare.

So, after selling my S&F Sanitation System on eBay, I discovered a box of attachments in a closet. I do believe that some of these belong to the machine. I am, by no means, an expert and don’t claim to be. I’m just a guy enjoying this hobby. I wish I would have found these before the auction, if...

Wanted to buy: Kirby Classic Omega in good shape. I am a serious buyer. Thank you!

Guys and gals, I just sold my Scott and Fetzer Sanitation System on eBay. I had awoken to find the ending bid! I am so shocked. I had no idea these were worth this kind of money! Started at $50.00.

I need some information please. I recently purchased an electrolux diamond jubilee and have what has been called a pn2 nozzle. I am missing the pigtail power cord that runs to the nozzle. What replacement am I looking for? Also, what belt am I looking for? Sorry for my ignorance. I'm an upright...

So I picked this Eureka The Boss model 2034 A up at my local Goodwill today for $8.00. Any info on this machine? It has the 6.5 amp motor and the ESP with Vibra-Groomer II brushroll. Are these the vacuums with the motors that go bad so easily or am I mistaken for another model? This one has a...

I'm currently at Goodwill and I just scored this Electrolux 50th for $7.50. Can anyone tell me anything about this vacuum? It's my first canister vacuum. I'm an upright guy. What style bags do I need for this?

Anyone have a Kirby Classic 1CR or Omega they are willing to part with?

A few weeks ago, I purchased an excellent condition Hoover Convertible model U4127 on a local Craigslist. Does anyone have information about this model? I've heard it was the first plastic base unit from around 1978/1979...? I am unsure of the validity of that information.

Just picked up this Hoover Industrial Upright at a thrift store. Any info regarding this? It's model C1091. Sorry about the bad pics.

Found these at a yard sale today, got them both for a total of $15. Both run. What models are these? Can't find much info on them.

Looking to buy a Hoover Convertible model U4387. It is the maroon vacuum with the Kmart special striped bag.

So, I have a YouTube channel where I'm featuring some of my collection. It's not the absolute best out there, but it's neat nonetheless to show these vacs off and get others interested. I'm showing my vacuums and other neat collectible things. So, check it out...if you like it...

Anyone happen to know around what year this Eureka was made? There's no date tag on the bottom of it like most Eurekas usually have...$2 garage sale purchase today...

So, I've been off the site for a long while now. Life has gotten in the way and my wife has suffered from some heart and other health issues lately, so I've been focused on taking care of the homefront. Anyway, finally made a new purchase a couple of day ago. I found this Hoover Convertible 700...

So I purchased a Hoover Convertible locally today. The brush roll housing with the two slots that hold the roller in has worn down and cracked odd. The original Hoover roller will vibrate and roll around in the housing...but my CWP roller works fine and fits snugly. Is there a way to fix this?
