    Belt for a Eureka model 1279, or 1289 Rotomatic Vibragroomer I

    Hello , what is the correct belt? I have two sizes from a decade old purchase. No bag, The smaller belt has the number 115 on it. It doesn't fit. Too small. Does the Express style power nozzle take the same belt? I know they have the silver dots. Thanks in advance.

    Vacuum of the day---Hoover

    Were women considered subservient back then? Had my dad given my mom a vacuum for Christmas, she'd have put his head in a jar.

    Miele S6 Jasper

    I found it on craigs list at a pawn shop. $50. It runs well, is in nice shape. The electrobrush isn't working is all. It's the newer SEB 225? larger type with no light. The hose and wand has conductivity. Can I use a Wesselwerk (Cana-Vac) power head if I don't get it working?

    In just a short time being here;

    many things learned and shared, and a valuable lesson learned. Keep a low profile, and do not feed trolls.

    Country Guy Gary's Eureka spotted

    on the Buzzr TV game show channel! Yes, on Card Sharks from 1978 through 1980. Eureka was a sponsor, and his Golden Empress II with roto-matic power head is featured as an ESP (extra suction power) premier model.

    It smells of dust and dirt. I'm ashamed to be your daughter! Never should I have to clean house. Especially this house. It's so common. Like you mother. The daughter of a scrub woman, who lived above a market and took in washing to make ends meet.

    orange Electrolux or Volta Z345, 710, etc.,

    Not a Canadian, or a UK built, but a Swedish made European machine. Does anyone in Europe own one?

    Hoover Swingette/ Porta power;

    What a neighbor of mine growing up got after her 1976 Kirby was repossessed. No lie!

    wanted;

    an old style Eureka straight suction rug nozzle. The type before the attached plastic neck that connected to the chrome bottom elbow wand. It can be green, blue, beige, or ivory. I can paint it. I found a blue crevice tool and painted it ivory. It looks great. I used Rustoleum primer/paint...

    Picture of the day;

    I can tell the power nozzle is an American Hoover, but the canister or cylinder cleaner looks British. The chair looks American. I do not remember these in stores. I seem to recall the Dimension 1000 immediately replacing the Celebrity III, or IV QS series.

    Yes, vintage is nice, but;

    Today being Valentines day, restaurants are always crowded, and without a reservation, the wait is ridiculous. Many do not even take them. So, after the afternoon matinee' (Dead Pool),very good by the way, I set to roasting an engagement chicken dinner in my dual fuel convection range oven...

    Miele S5 Blue Moon

    Yes, but in the scale of 1 to 87. I have a hand made model I fashioned from spare plastic building kit parts inside of the Mercedes car show room on my ho 1/87 scale model railroad lay out. I tried taking a picture, but my camera will not macro focus close enough in. I used left over part...

    Milliput

    This is an excellent two part epoxy putty that does not shrink. Imported from England, it sells for $8 US at hobby and some craft stores. Michaels does not carry it, Hobby Lobby does. Same price there for white. The super white variety is $13 on Amazon. It also comes in yellow, black, orange...

    To: Durango159, Rob.

    Hi Rob, as I am older, I will eventually sell off my collection. It's inevitable, as well with the trains, the Austrian & Swedish crystal, Spode, and Bavarian porcelain china. Unless my step kids want it. Not the vacuums of course, and when they host holidays we always eat off of paper plates...
