Hi, I have went through our archives and found an extension explanation on how the automatic control works for the model lx up until the last all metal bodied Electrolux 1521's. I have a Commemorative Edition Electrolux with 4 Control settings. 1, 2 , 3 (normal) & 4. Here is what the manual...

Does anyone know if you can take the endcaps from a Eureka model 260 brush roll and put them on a NOS 246 brush roll. Both brushrolls look exactly the same other than the end caps. Two rows of brushes on one side and single row on the other. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Bud PR-21

Hi, My name is Bud and my user id is PR-21. Just wondering if anyone else but me has thought of getting older (64) and what will become of our vacuum collections. I am not talking about newer vacuums or plastic vacuums. I mean no offense at that statement, but the vintage ones that are becoming...

I have wondered this for some time and decided to just ask. On Hoovers like the model 700 and I believe up to the model 28 they had two screws to hold the bag coupling on. When emptying, did it take a pair of pliers or was this just a thumb tighten connection? Where I worked years ago, we had...

Just got my New Kirby Avalir on Saturday....so far I just have the Avalir, Shampoo System, Zipp Brush, and the attachments. I will add the Floor Polisher and Turbo Sander, a little later.    I made a closet just for the Avalir, which has room to hold the polisher and sander as well.  ...

Hi, I purchased a Hoover Model 70 off of Ebay some time ago. I wanted one as I had bought my mom a brand new one in the late 60's. I found one on ebay that looked like it was mint condition for it's age. I detailed and sanitized it, cleaned the motor housing etc. I also found a NOS outer bag...

My grandmother gave me a Universal Upright Vacuum cleaner that looked similar to a Hoover Model 28 except that the bag adapter was a twist on type, centered on the back. (Brown matte finish with a brown bag with Red lettering)I was pretty young at the time. My dad brought it home, but it would...

Did Kirby always seal the fan case on all Generation models. I had a G4 that the repair guy took apart when it was brand new to put lubricant behind the fan to stop a high pitched squeal on winding down after using the attachments and at the time he did not seal the fan case afterwards. I no...

Here is the latest addition and long awaited Eureka Model 2070a. Bought from Leisurelady on ebay. I detailed it, put a headlight lens on it, and had a 6.5 amp two speed motor put in by a local vacuum shop. Just got it back. I originally bought a Eureka Model 2070 B in the early 70's. One of the...

VCB Brand Vacuum Cleaner Bags. Went to a Eureka/Sanitaire Store so I would get genuine bags and belts. They don't have them anymore and sold me VCB bags. Are these good quality bags? Any help would be appreciated. Thank You, Bud Mattingly PR-21

Electrolux made Sure Thing Filter bags in the late 90's. I prefer the 4 ply genuine bags over the Aerus Bags made today. I have had several issues with the 1 ply inner lining not being glued well enough and leaving just the blue part of the bag showing. I have brought this to Aerus's attention...

Their has been much talk about the bags leaking. I was sent 3 bags to try and they seemed to work ok, so I bought the newest ones available. I was baking and pouring my baking soda into a container and knocked the box with lid completely open into the floor. It was almost a new box, luckily I...

Just wanted to show my newest vacuum. It is a Simplicity Symmetry Premium. Metallic Grass Green Color. Just received it Friday and have not been feeling well, so all I gave it was a test run. Even with that, it vacuums very nicely and has great airflow through the wand. PR-21 Thanks for looking

Hi, Does anyone know if Simplicity is discontinuing the 7850? When you say buy now, it does not show up on their website, the Riccar 8955 is still on their website? Thanks PR-21

Hi, Would anyone have a set of rear wheels for a Hoover Innovation hard body vacuum? I would be interested in buying them, I could get by with one if need be.... Also would anyone that runs a vacuum shop, be willing to help me restore this vacuum that I purchased off of Ebay? Thanks for...

Hi, I am looking for a Kirby Model 505 Bag Closure Clamp for my Vintage 505 Kirby Vacuum. I am willing to pay for it, if anyone has an extra one. It is black with a rubber cap. I know they sell clamps that are supposed to fit, but they are designed for the newer bags that have the cloth cover...
