So I recently got one of those weird floor washers and it's got an odd issue. The suction was weak and come to find out the water/air separator was plugged up with a bunch of mud like gunk. I cleaned it all out and after reassembly the suction was awesome. However, when I use it now the water It...

This has got to be the largest carpet sweeper ever sold for use indoors! It's enormous! Sanitaire for comparison! Also, before and after of cleaning up the wood.

I cannot believe I got this! It seems to be completely original, it even still had one of the bag slide rubber protectors on it! It runs but the bearings are dry. I was amazed that both of the headlights came on and both of the lenses are intact!

Maybe not quite a horde but I negotiated a deal and got two totes full of these bags, mostly aftermarket Hoover. Some are genuine NOS Hoover. I would like to sell some. There's also a vinyl outer bag for the GE uprights, and an f and g shake out inner bag.

I have a portable I'm servicing and I need a new set of carbons. What is the Hoover part number for them? Thanks in advance!

I scored this private label Sanitaire from HiBid today, I love these! Any clue of an original model or year this is from?

So a while back I rescued a Duo-Power upright from certain death, but it is missing its brushroll and bottom plate. It runs well and I even have NOS bags for it. I know these are probably next to impossible parts to find but can someone that owns one share some pics of what that roller and...

So I was cruising around town and found a curious thing in the trash! Along with an Amway Cleartrack was this dirty beast! All it needed was a new belt and the bag swept out, what a monster. The bag pouch included an instruction leaflet and a very stiff spare belt.

So I got these and a bunch of others (other pics soon) for the low cost of nothing. This commercial Royal I have decided to dub the Super Stark! The Westy Carousel works but no hose or attachments.

I bought the last one, I couldn't resist! I love weird Euro vacs! What gets me is how flimsy the handle feels, it's got the diameter of a carpet sweeper handle and goes together about the same. The yoke is plastic and doesn't feel strong at all. It does clean pretty well, especially on low pile...

Ok, so I've sorted the hoses I don't want from the Pennsylvania auction. I would like to sell them to members here. They appear to be a mix of Electrolux,Rexair/Airway, some random. I'm also trying to get rid of some parts donor/project machines that I just don't want to have lying around...

Any clue what this woven hose went to? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vtg-Unknown-Vacuum-Hose-Braided-Woven-Black-Stripe-Replacement-Hose-Only-V1-3-/303894977608?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292

I am currently on my way home from Harrisburg, PA with a car full of vacs! When I'm able I'll post pics!

These came with the DS50 I won at the auction. Any idea what they go to?

For those of you that have restored a 28, what shade of brown did you use to repaint it? Did you go for exact color match or match up some Rustoleum? I'm going to repaint the base of mine and am looking for some guidance. Thanks!

I had one of these when I was a kid. I found this one at a thrift store. The bearings screamed so decided to take it apart and give them some lube. Its a Johnson motor with a rear sleeve bearing and front ball bearing. I serviced them and now it runs beautifully and is surprisingly powerful for...

This past week was good to me with these three lovelies! The Kirby 516 came with its attachment kit and seems all original except the bag. A coworker said a friend of his was flipping a house and found it, so he rescued it from being pitched and gave it to me. The Sanitronic 50 was an auction...

How did this hide, unused for so many years? Incredible! https://www.ebay.com/itm/Gorgeous-Brand-NEW-Vintage-Hoover-Model-913-Upright-Vacuum-Cleaner-/184536437809?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292

I have been after one of these World Vacs ever since I used one when I was a kid to vacuum my dad's office. It has literally been twenty-odd years before I've been able to get my hands on one! I cleaned out the motor, which was full of fluff and dirt. Apparently at one point in time something...

So in my spare time I refurb bagless vacs, or vacs that I don't consider collectible and sell them on Facebook for pretty cheap. Recently, I tried to sell a bagless Bissell. The buyer made his arrival time later and later, kept apologizing and offered an additional 10 bucks for the...
