Naturally the day I was scheduled to have the Central Air Conditioning unit given its annual service, it is over 100 degrees here. The 30 minutes the unit was off really heated up the house. Now 3 hours later it hasn't cooled off yet and the A/C has run non-stop. I finally broke down and went to...

I've always said I was born a generation late. I love to play with old trucks and old machinery. That being said, I never got to experience new or gently used equipment that I enjoy running and wrenching on. A neighboring farmer passed at 89 back in July. Your typical "never threw anything away"...

Finally getting around to repairing the dishwasher after months of hand washing dishes... Nearly all the parts for this have become obsolete. I managed to find a new-old-stock motor and some of the needed parts on eBay, but sadly it needs more than I can give it. Too many obscure parts that are...

Well I had to make some changes at the house, and one of them involved the sweepers moving bedrooms. It's a little tight, but they fit nicely. Now to find where I packed all my old advertisements during the move in August

Well if there is one chore I just struggle to get myself to do, it's the dishes. My kitchen just doesnt have a spit in the cabinets I could sacrifice to install a dishwasher, so a few weeks back I decided to purchase a portable one. That idea died off when I found out a new one would set me back...

When I bought my house, it had this LG "smart technology" washer and dryer set. I never cared for it, but I didn't have a set to put in when I moved, so here it stayed. Over the thanksgiving holiday, a friend mentioned they were looking at getting a new washer and dryer. Nothing wrong with the...

Selling this Epic 6500SR. really dont use it anymore and don't have the extra space in this house. Took it in on trade a few years ago when I was still selling and servicing vacuums, so it got a thorough cleaning then, used probably 5 times since. Exhaust filter dated 2017, that was when it was...

A few weeks ago, our first lady of vacuums, Miss Tania Voigt, called me about a vacuum on facebook marketplace about an hour north of me in Lyons, IL Well I picked it up a few days later...and indeed she was right, it is a fine example of a practically unused C-2 Revalation! The seller bought...

As some know, I recently purchased my first home. Although I'm nowhere close to moved in, my several month lease on a storage unit is nearly up and I don't intend to pay for a third month! The collection (which has not seen the light of day in nearly half a year) is working it's way into the new...

Well folks, I will be relocating in the first week of August, and there are several machines here that are duplicates, or just do not get used, and NEED TO GO! I'm not looking to make a profit, I just want to bring less with me to the house i'm moving into. All shipping will be via FedEx at...

Well as some of you who have me on the facebook are aware there was an incident in my truck this past week involving a can of Dr. Pepper exploding all over my backseat. I did not have any rags with me, so I wiped up the floor when I got home and grumbled that I would clean up later. Well I...

Hello Robert and others... Has anyone else had issues getting Vacuumland? On both my Cell and my Laptop i have intermittently gotten a "server error" message. I either try back later or use a link to the site through google. AR

A few years back, Ken Wagman gave me one of the "jar" sprayers to complete my Electrolux LX. I really never used it, but I am wondering, can I use it to spray the shampoo water mix I use in my B8 shampooed in it? I would love to shampoo the seats in my pickup, they are showing their age...

Technically this belongs in the Misc. Forum, but that's not important. As many of you know, my grandfather has been struggling since the beginning of November. We've had several close calls, but he continued to pull through. We lost him today. Fighting right up until the end. These next few...

A friend of mine in the Vacuum Business referred me to a longtime shop in the area, to pick through. After a nice, long visit with the owner, he started filling up bins with things for me to "Haul outta this place!"     Starting off, we have a machine I've wanted for some time, a Hoover...

I had meant to post these sooner, but thanks to Work, this is the soonest I could post.....   On Memorial day, I took a 2 hour road trip to Capron, Illinois to see Ken Wagman. We had a beautiful visit, with Ken showing me his Gorgeous collection, had a nice visit, and Ken made us lunch...

Picked up these gems yesterday. A headlight lens for my Eureka 2050, some floor nozzles, new Electrolux XXX carbons, and these units. A Hoover model 66 with replacement cord and replacement bag. I needed a beater vacuum to leave at my Grandmothers house. Also picked up this Hoover Pixie that...

Well, folks, its time to thin out a few machines that I really don't need. Not trying to make much on these...just need them gone and need some money in my wallet!   Up first is a 2 brush Regina Floor Buffer and Carpet Shampooer. Has the 2 floor buffing brushes. It has the original cord, and...

A BIG thank you to Hans Craig! I came home to a huge box on the porch...inside were plenty of those peanuts, and 4 beautiful mixers! 2 gorgeous Sunbeam Hand Mixers, a Chrome Mix-Master (UPS DESTROYED the base...) and a Fabulous Sears branded mixer...I'll be giving them a true workout pretty...

"A gracious Hello...this is Miss Tomlin, from the Telephone company...Have I reached the party to whom I am speaking?" I figured this would be a fitting title for a Thread regarding Vacuum Collectors and Landline. It's recently been brought to my attention that people are getting rid of their...
