Hi Eveyone, After learning this cord is very rare I figured I would offer it up to someone needing to complete a Kirby 562. It’s in great condition, flexible no tears or patch work. I’m not really certain of the value of a cord like this, I know they’re very uncommon to find seeing as it only...

I’m curious if anyone here has any experience with the older sequoia center vacuums, they pop up here in the Sacramento area very often? From what I’ve been able to find the company is still around and their modern units are just rebadged MD units. Their older units on the other hand don’t look...

So I was recently given a sebo x4 with a toasted motor and figured I’d ask here and see if anyone had a used one they’d be willing to part with.

Hi everyone, so I just got an Aerus guardian and it has a rather strange issue. The main vacuum motor won’t turn on. The switch on the hose turns on the powerhead as normal but the main motor won’t activate. The plug light and bag light function as normal so I don’t think it’s an issue with the...

Hi everyone I just happened to come across an absolutely Mint Miele ambiente with the seb 226 head. Mint really is an understatement of this vacuum there’s only one small chip in the paint and the inside of the powerhead was spotless. I was trying to do some research into this powerhead but...

Hi everyone, I’m about to start rebuilding the motor on a two speed rainbow and was wondering if anyone knows how to remove and reinstall the bearings for the motor. Like if I’ll need a bearing puller or a press to get them back on. Thanks

Hi everyone, I just won an action for a Kirby 512 that appears to be in decent shape the only thing that kind of stuck out to me is the emptor the bag is aftermarket for sure but the emptor appears as if it’s from an earlier model like a model C. Can anyone confirm if this is correct or if it’s...

Hi everyone I just got a new to me Miele Capricorn and unfortunately it looks like the handheld turbo tool got water in it at some point and seized up the bearings. I’ve been able to remove the turbine assembly but I can’t get the brush roll out does anyone know how to remove it. I’ve attached a...

Hello I was wondering if anyone had some airway bags they’d be willing to sell all I’m able to find are the new one ply bags. I wanted the older ones that filter well and have the plastic top. Thank you

Hello everyone. Today I came across a rainbow model D for a good deal so I ended up picking it up, all it came with was the dolly, basin, motor unit, and a shag rake for $30. So now that I’ve got it I now have to go about giving it the tune up it deserves after being around so long. Although...

Well after a very long delay my rainbow finally sold and in its place is an older riccar brilliance. It took me a long time to decide if I wanted to buy this older brilliance or a new Maytag. I chose the brilliance for several reasons first of all it ended up being way cheaper then the Maytag...

I thought I might post this hear, hope it isn’t over stepping or anything. I’ve recently decided to sell my rainbow e2 blue in favor of a tandem air upright. It’s in very good condition as I went through and cleaned it up pretty well when I got it. The only thing I could get to come clean was...

Ok so I’ve decided to sell off my rainbow and replace it with one of the tandem air uprights. Now for the dilemma I can get a used riccar brilliance from 2008 for about $250 or a new Maytag for about $150 more. When I worked in a vacuum shop one of the first things I noticed was a lot of early...
