I am currently seeking a hood for a Hoover Model 62 or 63 and a hood for a Model 70 Convertible. I don't need the light lens for either machine.

I have just come into one of these from a vac shop basement and it is missing the fan. Would a genuine Hoover Junior fan work in one of these. I don't want to buy one and find out it doesn't fit.

I need one rear wheel for my Hoover Quiet Performance Model SH30050. Specifically, the canister unit itself. They also branded the machine under Oreck and it was called the Venture. Color doesn't matter as long as it fits. I've tried Kenmore wheels and they were either too big or too small...

I have the same hose as shown in the picture below and am looking for a button sheet if possible. All the buttons work and nothing cuts out when the handle is swiveled. I tried calling my Aerus dealer and they said no parts are available for it whatsoever. I'm curious if they ever made the...

Looking to see if it it possible to still get the pulley section of a cord reel for an Electrolux Diamond Jubilee. I tried calling my local Aerus dealer and they just wanted to sell me a used one. Otherwise, I'll just order a new assembly. The

It's amazing what can be achieved with some boredom and spare parts that were laying around. I had this EBK340 from a Proteam backpack that had nowhere else to go except for the trash. Not wanting to throw it away, I had the idea to make a Rainbow pigtail fit in place of the original one. I...

Does anyone know if the Kirby Rebuild Department stil performs service on legacy units? I plan to put together a 519 using as many broken genuine parts so I don't get charged extra. Parts like wheels, bumpers, etc. The rear motor casting has a deformed ledge where the handle yoke sits and I'm...

I'm currently replacing the motor in an Epic 6500 and I need the motor support ring. It bolts to the motor and then screws into the housing that mates with the cord reel. As you can see, it's broken. I have also called Aerus dealers and they told me the part is discontinued.

These two motors were laying around and I'm curious as to what brand they're used for. The first unit looks similar to a Sebo motor and the second one probably drives a gear. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

A-1 Vacuum in Crest Hill is coming to an end after almost 40 years of service since the owner and his wife are retiring. They have the be out of the building by April 30th. Many parts and units are being thrown in the dumpster as I'm writing this. Paul has lots older parts for brands such as...

I'm looking for the machine end of a Hoover Elite hose as pictured below since the locking tab has cracked off.

I own a handvac like the one pictured below and it makes a rattling noise when the motor is running. If I turn it upside down, the noise goes away. Is that normal for these units or is there a shim/washer missing on the armature?

Is this grease gun missing a spring? I cannot get it to pump grease and the rubber is still flexible.

Here are the three vacuums I restored this past month. The Omega was probably the toughest but most rewarding. Blue Kirby D80: I had always admired the look of a red or blue Kirby done in aftermarket trim. I figured I would have to hunt down the pieces and outfit an existing machine or find one...

I vaguely remember seeing handle brace kits for Dial A Matic handles on eBay a few years back. Just curious if anyone has a picture of one attached to a machine. Were they genuine or an aftermarket part?

After going through the pile of vacuums that Jon Durfor didn't want, I snagged this Westinghouse Upright. Despite how bad it looked (Sorry. No before pictures), the machine was complete and the brushroll looked to have been rebristled. I took the thing apart down to the last screw as the...

What kind of belt does a Panasonic built Miele Powerhouse use? I have tried the UB belts and they are WAY too wide. Is there a Panasonic belt that fits these since they built the machine? Mike

I am looking for a hose for this Whirlpool Canister pictured below. I know the chances are slim to none but if anyone has something, please let me know. Mike

I went to order a cable for a Self Propelled Windtunnel in the shop last week and discovered they are no longer available. Even the aftermarket ones have been discontinued as well. Another issue I've been noticing on older units is the nub on the transmission cracks off and makes the cleaner...

Let me start off by saying that this project would not have been possible without the help of Owen and Ray. Thank you two for everything you have contributed to this project. A few weeks ago, I was informed by Ray during his visit to Owen's shop of a Hoover Model 541 on eBay that had been...
