Before this goes to ebay, I thought I'd see if anyone here would like it. It is an Advance, (Nilfisk), commerical VU-500 12 inch. I'd say it was "New In The Box", except that some people will go nuts because I took it out and used it once and used in my own home. It is leftover from when I...

I have a couple of questions for the folks here. I know some own their own cleaning businesses so I am hoping to get some helpful information. The first is: my husband and I are of the age group that still uses hairspray. We're lucky to still have hair! We have a tile floor in the master bath...

I haven't posted pics of my vacuums in a longtime. Two of these, (the Kenmores), I never have shown here. The thread about the Kenmore Imperial, or "bugeye", prompted me to photograph and post today. Thanks to Opelgkarl! They are the Kenmore Imperial, Kenmore Deluxe, Air-Way Chief model 35...

I am selling this Hoover 67 convertible. Before putting it on Ebay I thought I would see if there are any interested parties here. It is in excellent shape and all nearly all original. The switch has been replaced as well as the agitator. The new agitator is genuine Hoover. See photo. The...

And, not the kind from Kings and Queens but from those familiar with the Royal family of vacuums. I used to ask Mike Rogers but since he has passed on I'm soliciting help here. This is one vacuum I never collected or learned much about so any help is very much appreciated. What are the basic...

The following vacuums will be going to ebay later this year unless someone here is interested. If interested, contact me through the site email system to discuss price and shipping. I'm not interested in making a fortune, just recovering part of my cost in investments in the vacuums. Please...

Two former VCCC past-presidents, (and their spouses), Tom Gasko and myself, Charlie Watrous, had a long awaited reunion at Tom's Vacuum Museum in St. James, Missouri, yesterday, July 20th. Three hours flew by as we reminisced about years and days in the past. About past conventions, members...

Since it was so unbearably hot in Charlotte today, I decided to have a Hoover spa treatment center this afternoon with some of my favorite clients. Posed for glamour shots from left to right are: the 150, 28, 63, 64 Citation, 67 and 69 If the weather stays like this, I will have to have...

I am hoping one of the viewers on this site can help me with some information. What can anyone tell me about the pictured Apex? Year made, how good a vacuum, very many around, reliability, etc. I am trying to help a friend with this. My knowledge of Apex is fairly limited and my interest in...

In the February issue of the VTDA, (Vacuum Dealers Trade Association), magazine, Tom Gasko, curator of the Tacony Vacuum Museum, has a great article about the 1936 Air-Way Super Chief. As a former owner of one, I found the piece very interesting as there is limited information about these...

In the season of giving, I found this DVD from 2004 that was available to members at the 2004 convention. I burned it to my computer, then uploaded to YouTube and pasted the link here. It is apporox. 25 minutes long. It is a collection of photos of vacuums and members from four different...

Does anyone know if the Electrolux 4000 took an electrified hose utilizing the Sidekick and other attachments or was it straight suction only? When did Electrolux start using a electrified hose on their uprights? I know it was for straight suction in the beginning so what model was the first...

This came to me from my brother's estate. It took three years for things to be settled, (an unexpected death), and for certain items to be removed from the house. The Sentria appears to be seldom used. The tools/hose look like they were used for the demo only. The rug shampooer is still new...

I was doing a repair on my Hoover 150 today and decided to start a thread since I have not seen any talk about the fabulous 150 in a while. Here it is with shots of the bag full/empty indicator, automatic height adjustor, bag tension elastic strap, (upright and in the vacuuming position), quick...

I am posting the link to several vacuums I have on ebay. I am planning on selling most of my collection with more auctions going live next week. Please email if you have any questions about any of the vacuums. Charlie...
