I am interested in relieving myself of 90% of my collection. I am only interested in a buyer coming and taking it off my hands, and I will not ship. I do not have time for that. I will only be keeping 4-5 vintage machines. I have attached some photos for reference and am happy to provide...

I'm interested in adding a CV to my <1,000 square foot condo. I want the unit to fit in either a large cabinet I have or a closet. I would be using it with the utility valve or piping it to one inlet and perhaps a vacpan. I have seen the compact "OVO" brand units on Amazon, but I'm not really...

I am going to start selling off some vacuums. I had made a post a few months ago in hopes someone would come take a load of them, but lost sight of the goal after the sudden passing of my father. This time I will be taking a more measured approach. First up, I have an Electrolux CA. I love...

With shifting priorities in life and little lime to pursue the hobbies of yore, I am looking to sell several machines to a good collector home. I would love for someone to come and buy most of it, but I may consider shipping in the future depending on the circumstance. I know there’s some good...

All, I have some Kirbys I would like out of my way - one later model Sentria, and two G5s. One G5 is quite dirty, but both run fine. Both G5s come with the standard attachment sets. The Sentria, which is in good shape other than some scratches on the nozzle, comes with the attachments and a...

All, I have attached some pictures of the cord end on my Lux XII-A, which is unlike any I have ever seen. I am curious about whether or not this is the original cord end for the machine? It is very small and round, with no markings besides a small design. For reference, the last picture is of...

Every now and then a good deal can be found on EBay, like with the model 63 I just got. You can see in the pictures below that it is quite nice, but the zipper on the bag is frozen. Does anyone have a recommendation on how to “unfreeze” it? I absolutely don’t want to ruin such a nice bag...

Hello! I hope everyone is well. I am moving for work in a few months, and would like to shed some vacuums that I don't really need. I would like to try here first, before I use eBay. I realize these are a dime a dozen, but this is a cosmetically nice Lux XXX. The hose is aftermarket, but...

Hello! I hope 2017 is treating everyone well. I am looking for a good pivot arm assembly (I think it's called, the part that connects the handle to the base) for my Hoover 64 Citation. Mine is very wobbly and the spring mechanism is broken. If anyone has a parts machine from which they would...

I finally "bit the bullet" and bought myself a nice, used Tristar EXL. I had been looking for a new daily driver machine, and the Tristar really caught my eye. It is my first Tristar machine, and I am not disappointed. It just screams quality, especially for a vacuum made today. It's also really...

I would like to purchase a late Electrolux Model F in good condition. It can just be the machine, as I expect to really have to hunt for a power nozzle that originally would have been purchased for the machine. I'm trying to fill up the holes in my Lux collection and have not had much luck on...

Hi all, I have an early 50s model XXX with the hammer-tone blue accents that has a bad motor. I guess the bearings are seized up, because it just makes a horrible grumbling noise when turned on. I have considered upgrading the machine with a newer, more powerful motor, like one from a Model G...

Does anyone have any details on the current market share of the various vacuum companies in the US? I read in a Dyson job posting that they are currently in one out of every ten homes in America, and it made me curious about the other companies. I imagine cheaper Big Box vacuums have a large...

I have purchased an early run (second version) pre-war Electrolux XXX on eBay. I am very excited, as I have been searching for a pre-war machine with the aluminum rear, different front cover, and flat runners that attach to the trim for quite a while. Now just to find the rest of the original...

I have been browsing ebay and thinking of buying either a newer Tristar or FilterQueen for a daily driver. I have a few questions: I have never used either machine, so which would you recommend? I am looking at Filter Queens with the newest style hose and power nozzles. Is it true that Filter...

Hey everybody, I recently got a Lux Model XII on Ebay. The hose that came with it is a XXX Era Hose in beautiful condition. The hose end, however, is for Canadian machines. For correctness sake, I would like to change the hose end to the American version and display the hose with my XXX. I have...

I have always heard that Aerus / Lux had great customer service. However, I have visited a couple of "not so friendly" dealers before whom quoted astronomical prices on supplies and acted like I was crazy. Needless to say, they didn't get my business. On the other hand, Tuesday I called Aerus...

I finally have one of the main staples of my Lux collection that I was missing.. An LX thanks to Nathan Thomas (Electrolux Dude) Without further ado...

This is my now (almost) complete rexair c. The major thing I am missing now is the curved lower wand.. Which evades me somehow. My first model c came from its original owner well taken care of and it ran great. (That is the motor unit pictured.) however, it was missing the rug tool, lower wand...

Hey everyone, I am looking for a hood and lens for my model 69 hoover convertible. The pieces where the screws lock into the hood are totally broken off. The headlight lens is broken in half.... These are the results of someone stepping on the hood of the machine. I would really like to buy the...
