I recently purchased an old Apex straight suction vacuum. It's in pretty bad shape but I'm trying to bring it back the best I can. Picture 1 is the vac #2 shows the handle with the on/off in the end of the hand grip #3 shows the fan #4 shows the back of the motor My questions are: pic #3 - the...

I was on Vacuumland a few days ago and drifted over to AutomaticWasher.org to see if anything was of interest. I saw a link to an online auction showing vacuums...the pick up was only 2 minutes from my house. I was the high bidder and picked them up yesterday. I think we are keeping the maroon...

I have a Cadillac vacuum for you....haven't seen him posting in a while. Please respond if you're out there

I saw this on Facebook labeled "pick up only" for $ 10. The guy was nice enough to ship it to me for $ 15. I like it but what is it used for ? The base has holes in it so it appears that it was mounted to a base perhaps with wheels. I'm going to do that next. I thought it was industrial (maybe...

My latest vacuum is all done except for rewiring the motor and possibly installing new brushes. I can't get the fan off. I removed the reverse thread nut and have a shaft with a flat end. How does this come off ? I did apply Kroil to the area where the fan meets the shaft. I'm afraid of damaging...

I recently bought a strange vacuum and I'm in the process of cleaning/polishing. It has a fabric hose...can this be cleaned ? If so, how can I do it without damaging it ? I'll post pics of the finished product when I'm done.....let's see who can identify it.

What the heck is this ? Only $ 10.......if I lived closer, I would get it Very Cool https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/319722237123286/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3Acd1c5574-cfba-46e1-95fe-73851fee52b6

A few interesting machines in the collection. Not sure where these came from ...

For the Kirby / Scott and Fetzer extreme collector: I didn't know they had a division that manufactured lights...

I saw this for sale...I kinda like it but it's very rough. Would make a nice restoration project. What model or year is it ? I've never seen this one before.

Before I list these on eBay....any interest ? I also have a Cadillac handheld that Madman has first dibs on..if he's out there.

I bought a 1940s Royal and it has a clip on the electric cord that holds the loose cord and plug together while the cord is wrapped around the handle. I've never seen one of these before. Is it original or an aftermarket piece ? It appears to be original. I'm sure these were lost on most.

Does anyone know if the wheel "studs" come off ? It seems they would be threaded and unscrew but I'm afraid to try fearing damage to the posts and/or breakage. I can clean them without taking them off if I have to.

I don't know anything about this: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/291582372981764/?ref=search&referral_code=marketplace_search&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A59c51cc1-8b92-4f13-84bc-46f5af091557

https://www.ebay.com/itm/325076845668?hash=item4bb0170464:g:rh4AAOSwB1ViF~du Did someone make this ? Is it a prototype design ? I have no idea where it came from

I bought a handheld on ShopGoodwill....I ran it for 3 seconds and was quite noisy. I started to take it apart and noticed the brushes are pretty much gone. I've never seen brushes like this...they appear to have springs with a copper piece and then the carbon ?? All I have seen are just springs...

Anyone need/want these ? Free - Just pay shipping

What is this ?? I like it but it's too expensive for me...

I posted on another thread that I have 2 575s...on one of mine I just used a "scrubbie" and lightly cleaned it as I read that these did not have a shiny finish when they were new. The one I just bought I will clean up...what should I do to the finish ? Scrubbie again ? I will change the bumper...

I have two 575s and neither have the correct bag. What models are these for ? they are both in very good condition...does anyone need these ?
