    POD 9/16/2020

    Silly me passed up the chance to acquire a 1956 Eureka Roto-Matic with all of the attachments, and some bags for $125 at a local thrift store.  I passed because the price was a bit steep at the time.  When I went back a couple of weeks later, it was gone.

    Took my Hoover Model 68 to work

    I work for a national auto parts retailer, and recently the vacuum at our store crapped out (made in China).  So, yesterday I took my Hoover Model 68 along to vacuum the rugs we have in front of of our counter area, and in the entry way.  My co-worker laughed when he saw it, and remarked "does...

    1955 Eureka Roto-Matic (swivel top)

    Saw this beauty while out thrifting on my day off today.  I've included a link to the store's FB page with its contact info.  I didn't take it out of the rolling storage container because the store staff was looking at me kind of funny.  I did see a pkg. of dust bags in the box.   I was told...

    NIB? Electrolux

    I don't usually post here in Vacuumland, but I thought someone might find this of interest.  Ad says everything is still new?, and in the box.  Seller only wants email communication though. http://wausau.craigslist.org/atq/4468823629.html

    A pink GE canister vac very much in the rough.

    I saw this on my local Craigslist, and thought it would be of interest to someone here.  Seller is asking $20, but it doesn't look like it includes any hoses, attachments etc.  I can help out if need be.  http://wausau.craigslist.org/app/4199746150.html

    My thrift store score!

    About 2 weeks ago I stopped at a local thrift store which is operated by several Lutheran churches in our area.  Stuck in a corner at the back of the store was a lonely looking rust colored Regina Electrik Broom.  I kind of buried it under some other things and went home and thought about it...

    Premier canister vac bag

    I recently rescued an ancient Premier canister vac from my grandmother's basement, and was wondering if the dust bag can possibly be gently laundered?  It has acquired quite a funky odor from sitting in the basement for so long with dirt in it.  I would also appreciate any info on where I might...

    Hoover Model 68 attachments.

    I would like to purchase a set of attachments for my Hoover Model 68.  When I purchased it at an estate sale 3yrs ago, they said they didn't know what had happened to them over the years.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Awesome POD 10/27/11

    I love my Hoover Model 68 that I found last year at an estate sale for $5 w/ about 15-20 vintage bags to go with it. Now I'm on the hunt for the attachments. Wish me luck.
