Yesterday was the forty-first anniversary of THE VACUUM CLEANER COLLECTOR'S CLUB. We were the first, and originally a teaching club as there was no internet. All we had were phone calls and snail mail. And the only source of reaching others was with the Newsletter. Through this we covered the...

This is the inside of the cover of the instruction book for the Electrolux Model LX. Shown in back are the cans of floor cleaner, waxes and polishes for the Power Polisher, and moth crystals for the Vaporizer, Spray Gun, and Garment Aire bag pictured on the far right. As to the logo on the...

I'm interested in acquiring back issues of three newsletters. The 1994 issue when the V.C.C.C. first went to Hoover. The 1995/96 Electrolux issue by Charles Richard Lester and Alex Taber, and the one with interview of Stan Kann in 1996.

It has just come to my attention that Roger Proehl passed away. I wish to express my condolences to his family and friends. Roger was part of the second phase of the Vacuum Cleaner Collector's club, and yes, that was the correct spelling. I met him and his partner Charles in May of 1993 when...

I'm looking for two parts for an Electrolux LX. Replacing the cord winder shown in the pic with a chrome one. And I would like to replace the polisher. I still want it in the hammertone blue. Message me at [email protected].

Last night a buddy from Pennsylvania arrived, and in his check-in luggage, surprise, surprise was my model LX. He packed it to a large pull case. He thought it was packed to protect it but the cordwinder got badly dented. So what I need is one in chrome with the original Belden plug male end...

I ran across a find I couldn't pass up, now I need the experts to give me some background. This is a Progress 50 E, tank style on wheels and I suspect its from the 1930's as the machine ends, spray gun, and some type of blower thingy are all Bakelite. The glass jar to the spray gun is an odd...

I just got mine, awesome!

While I've been away for a few years I did want to stop by and take a moment to thank Gottahaveahoove for very touching words at this rough time. Later this morning I will post a tribute to my mom, but for now let me just say that she made a confusing time of starting a club relatively easy...

I'm blown away! A few days ago I saw a container for Electrolux moth crystals on EBay sale for $7.00. (Yes it had the model LX logo). Naturally I thought it was an empty can, to be used for display, but I just got it, full can!' ready to use with my vaporizer or Garment-aire bag. Needless to...

Well I finally cleared up the question of who sent me the Electrolux Model LX. It was not Larry, it was my mom, acting through him! Last November she took a fall, landed in a rehab to treat a light fracture of the pelvis (got home on December 20) and while in the nursing home she asked Larry...

Whoever you are thank you. The Electrolux model LX in mint condition that was in Super Market which I mentioned in a previous post was delivered to me yesterday via FedEx. I contacted the seller, and all he said was "you have a secret admirer, enjoy it!" So unless it was my housemate, (the guy...

I just acquired model LX in almost perfect condition. The only drawback is that it ejects even with an empty wrapper (bag) therefore the tubing needs to be replaced. As I understand it the hose for an aquarium will work. Does anybody have the exact dimensions of this? As to the vacuum cleaner...

I'm looking for the tube to replace the warn out one on this model LX.

I don't think the dustpan was part of the set, this is taking 'complete' too far.

I got to see the newsletter on the Chicago convention and it's awesome. Both Sam Addison and Kenny Loveland have turned out a work of art. Thanks guys, Alex Taber.

This time it's Gottahaveahoove. Maybe we can trend.

Nice Kirby 1-C, but not at that price! Look at this machine, it has replacement parts galore which detract drastically from the authenticity.
