What do you do when you have a Kirby Tradition with a broken safety switch and a Kirby D80 nozzle with blue trim? You make a 13" Kirby Tradition of course!

I recently came into possession of a legendary Air-Way DirtMaster, along with an original disposable bag for the machine. The vacuum itself says that it is a Model 38, but the bag states that it is for a Model 37 "DirtMaster". The DirtMaster Air-WayCharlie showed in thread 26097 was also a...

Here's a Hoover Z I found on Facebook Marketplace. The seller claims to ship, but I'm not sure if they will follow through or not. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/687182399133384/

I recently purchased a very incomplete Air-Way model 35 Chief and I need help bringing it back to its former glory. 
 Based on the pictures, I can tell that the machine is missing: Handle Switch Cord Brushroll Bag Side Cover for Belt

Does Aerus still make pigtail hoses for pre-1205 Electroluxes (F, R, G)? Thanks.

I have an Electrolux Model G in relatively poor shape and I am trying to restore it. One of the bumpers has some large scrapes in it and I would like to remove it. I tried disassembling the machine, but it looks like I have to remove the bag chamber in order to remove the bumpers. Is there an...

I know it's a long shot, but does anyone have a twin motor Air-Way they're willing to part with? Thanks.

This Lewyt vacuum was found at Los Angeles City College. It somewhat resembles a Lewyt 210, but it is gray and does not have a tool holder or a cord winder. I looked at the machine and I could not find a model number on it. Does anybody have any more information on this particular Lewyt? Any...

I heard rumors that Hoover has (or had) a prototype of a Constellation with a power nozzle. I have seen a picture of what appears to be a mock-up of such a device. However, the contrast seemed somewhat washed out. I was wondering if anyone has higher quality photos of this bizarre machine. Thanks.

Here's a set of wonderfully bizarre commercials advertising Matsushita's (Panasonic's) National series of vacuum cleaners. These commercials were created by Tsuburaya Productions, best know for creating the popular Japanese series Ultraman. I'm not sure if a vacuum-themed superhero fighting a...

I noticed some sparking coming from the carbon brushes on my Royal Power Tank. The video I attached shows the sparking that appears when the vacuum is turned on. The brushes still appear to be long and have not majorly worn away. Is this behavior normal? If not, how can I fix this machine? Thanks.

I was looking through a book about Raymond Loewy, hoping to find pictures of a Singer S-Series vacuum. Unfortunately, the book had none. However, it did have a photograph of a Loewy-designed Electrolux prototype from 1939. Does anybody know anything about this machine and if it saw release...

I was recently using an Electrolux Sidekick attachment, when I noticed a squealing sound coming from the brush roller. I cleaned any noticeable hair and debris off of the roller, but when I re-assembled everything, the sound was still present. When the roller is detached, the Sidekick’s motor is...

I purchased a Hoover 425 several years ago and I have some questions about the machine. Are the brush roller and belt pulley compatible with each other? The roller appears to be suitable for flat belts, while the pulley seems to accept round belts. How can I remove the brush roller? I tried to...

I heard rumors that the Hoover Junior 375 was released in Canada as the 376. Does anybody have any solid information about the existence of this machine? Thanks.
