In the final stage of my liquidation, I am offering most of my owners manuals up for sale. Some are common, some are quite rare. Make me an offer I can't refuse! I will combine shipping and give great deals on multiple manuals. For round one, I have listed all of my Kirby, Electrolux, Air-way...

I figured this was special enough to deserve its own post. See eBay for more photos and details! http://www.ebay.com/itm/162178394388 http://www.ebay.com/itm/162178394388

Mostly pre-war stuff, all in very nice completely usable condition. I tend to only buy and collect the best I can find. Everything will be going on eBay gradually as time permits, and will be listed as Buy It Now or Best Offer. Any reasonable offers are welcome and will be taken into...

*Many more photos available in the eBay listing* http://www.ebay.com/itm/152157573955 Restored 1945 Kirby Model 505 vacuum cleaner. This was the first Kirby that Scott & Fetzer produced after the war. This is an exceptionally nice and complete example with original attachments and boxes...

Hello all, I am looking to purchase a total of 3 General Electric Hoses and sets of attachments and wands for some Roll-Easys I have (I have 4 machines but 3 are missing everything). These could be from Swivel Tops, Roll-Arounds, or Roll-Easys. The hoses could be woven or vinyl, and the...

I have decided to sell my restored Kirby 510 on eBay. Buffed to a mirror finish, bearings greased, new motor brushes, the works! Complete with every attachment, cloth hose, Handi-Butler, floor polisher, boxes, and more. Doesn't get much more complete and original than this...

I'm wondering if these cords are proprietary to the Roll-Easy or if the female end is some sort of standard connector. I'm in need of 3 power cords and don't know where to begin looking (other than the obvious and fruitless eBay). Any info is appreciated!

After many, many months of trying, I finally came home with the Hoover Model 634 I have been coveting for quite a while. It was a trade in from long ago at an old vac shop about an hour away from me. It was filthy, so I cleaned it up, polished it, and laundered the bag. I think it cleaned up...

Just wanted to do a quick update and let everyone know that there are a TON of new manuals, brochures, service guides, and ads that have been uploaded to the site. The current total is 80 documents and counting! I had to update the link from the main page to redirect to a file sharing service...

My latest acquisition...a very special Lewyt Model 55. The fact that it is relatively complete is a bonus, but the real "pièce de résistance" is the ultra-rare model 101 carpet sweeper nozzle! This was essentially the first attempt at a power nozzle, thought it was more of a traditional carpet...

Runs like a champ, was my daily driver until I finished my 2nd 450. If you're looking for something that can really be put to work and not a show piece, this is it.

One of the nicest I've seen, looks and runs like new. Includes a spare unused NOS bag, and moth crystal attachment.

Original bag in great shape, runs well. Cord is a replacement and there is some paint loss as with all of these. Otherwise it's a nice little machine!

Looking to buy any quantity of Lewyt speed-saks. The more the merrier!

I need a brown rubber gasket to complete my pink GE Roll-Around. This is the one that seals the hose to the inlet on the machine as pictured below. Thanks!

I have 2 Lewyt Model 55s, one is missing the hose and one has a damaged one. Looking to buy a nice hose (or 2!) as well as a manual.

Keep in mind this project is still a work in progress, but I am pleased to announce that The Vacuum Archives are now online! This is a place where vintage vacuum cleaner manuals, brochures, and other literature will be digitized and available FOR FREE! I have just started the actual scanning...

UPS delivered my new Apex yesterday with one smashed Bakelite rear wheel, and one cracked one. I'm guessing they were quite rough with the box. Does anyone happen to have any spare Apex parts sitting around, or perhaps know of a place that may still have stock?

VacuumLander price: $100 plus shipping via private sale. See the link to my eBay listing below for more photos. Vintage all original 1970s Electrolux Model 1205 Vacuum Cleaner in good shape. Works well and has good suction. Cord and cord winder are in good working order. Power nozzle (PN2)...

Decided to purge some stuff to make room for a few things I have coming in the next few weeks. Starting with a few machines, and I'll post some parts later this evening. Make reasonable offer, not looking to get rich on any of these.
