Well, it looks like the Kenmore straight hose 2405 I bought new in the wrapper from Appliance Factory Parts in Colorado really was the last of the Mohicans. They nicked me an arm and a leg for it. It came in a nice fresh Sears pacakge, so I checked Sears Parts Direct and it was shown being...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/191049217146?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2648&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Does anybody know what company makes these and has anybody tried attaching standard Kenmore hose ends and electrical connections to one? These could be a solution to the lack of Kenmore straight...

I would buy this in a heartbeat if I lived within half a days drive. Unique, nice condition and oh so interesting. http://spacecoast.craigslist.org/for/4647693476.html One of my other oddballs, the Swamp Creature, came from Daytona.

I'm pinching myself. I have been looking high and low for all three items, but especially the hose. The Filter Fairy is being very kind to me. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sears-Kenmore-Magicord-Canister-Vacuum-Hose-amp-attachments-/331322759798?

I'm wondering if anyone knows who manufactures the various vacuum hoses, especially those for central vacuums, on the market today? Also who manufactures hose ends and things like the gas pump style nozzles? Plastiflex is one but they are from Belgium. Who would make hoses and ends for...

I have to make regular sojourns from my high desert redoubt to the filthy and dangerous environs of Los Angeles for medical appointments. I had to make one such journey today. Along the way are two vacuum shops that are Miele and Tacony dealers. I have gone into these shops on occasion, time...

You recall I mentioned the small Kenmore 2.5 I bought came with an unusual small 12 inch wide Powermate. The base was broken in two places, but Sears Parts Direct showed it was still available and a call to them confirmed this. I reported a few days ago that Sears indeed shipped the part and...

The KHDRC center today inducted a kissing cousin of the normal Kenmore fare the Center specializes in. The vacuum is a Panasonic Jet Flo 240, model 9530, canister. It was purchased from a family that replaced all of their carpet with wood flooring and now claims to prefer using a Dyson! The...

An ebay seller is a friend of mine and she often offers me interesting old Kenmore vacs. I have bought from her in the past, both parts and whole vacuums. Early today I saw a really rare Kenmore Whispertone from the late 80's or maybe 1990 with a variable speed motor. It included the...

Something I stumbled across. http://www.costco.com/Rotho%C2%AE-Twin-TT-Aquafilter-Vacuum.product.100074673.html It reminds me in concept of the Douglas Hydro Flow Home Cleaning System. Anyone have one of these or have some hands on with them? The price seems reasonable. Do you have to use...

Here is a thought. There is a site called SearsCatalogsOnline.com . The site will let you ask for digital copies of a section of the Sears Catalog for three different catalog years. I asked for the vacuum section for 1971, 1983 the two years of my parents old vacuums, and for 1990. If we...

The KHDRC recently bought two very inexpensive early 1980's Kenmore canister vacuums intending to use the most cosmetically challenged vac as a parts source and the more attractive of the two would be re-motored with a modern Ametek_Lamb two stage Advantek series motor to make a real suction...

The Kenmore High Desert Restoration Center had to put in a hard weekend to clear a back log of outstanding projects. The first is a 1983 Kenmore 4.1 canister with infinitely variable motor speed via a dial on the left rear corner of the bag chamber lid, and the off/on/floor switch is on the...

I picked up this little Panasonic Jet Flo last week. It came in superb condition other than missing it's secondary filter holder, one tool and it was badly age yellowed. But it runs so nice and, man, the suction this thing has vacuuming. It only has a suction floor brush with wheels, but it...

In the last report from the KHDRC you will recall the non-standard switch and associated wiring had some clearance problems with the rear axle. Trying to wiggle the wires and switch around while fitting the lower half of the vacuum body resulted in the switch breaking. Fortunately the center...

Very cool vacuum and something I very much want, but the price! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Panasonic-Canister-Vacuum-MC-9530-JET-FLO-240-MINT-WORKING-COSMETIC-CONDITION-/161414189027?pt=US_Vacuum&hash=item2595090fe3 Knock a hundred, hundred and ten off the price and it might be a good buy...

So I bought this old Kenmore canister from the very early 1980s that came with a small powered floor brush of a type I have never seen before and didn't know existed. It is 12 inches wide instead of the usual 14, has the motor over on the right side of the wand, the height adjuster is a dial to...

I am trying to look up the Kenmore Extra Suction Canister Vacuum 24196 in Sears Parts Direct. If someone has one of these could they tell me the exact model number off the data plate on the underside of the vacuum so I can look it up. Sears Parts Direct keeps kicking back "24196" when I enter...
