Just found an old(I assume)Kirby "Heritage II-Turbo" vacuum that someone put it the trash. HEAVY monster of a machine; cast aluminum housing, black and red markings, gray dust bag with red markings and black and red bag clip. The machine runs; I took it home and emptied the bag(which had about...

Oh, somebody's going to want this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140203954031&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1123

Someone should grab this. It's just too interesting! http://cgi.ebay.com/VINTAGE-GENERAL-ELECTRIC-VACUUM-COMPLETE-WORKS-NICE_W0QQitemZ110189255823QQihZ001QQcategoryZ115993QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I feel like a traitor!!! After receiving my first vintage Hoover Tool Kit, I am struck by how vastly superior the old Hoover above the floor cleaning tools are to the old Electrolux'es. I feel awful saying this, because I still respect the design and innovativeness of the Elux tools (and will...

I just won a Hoover Dial-a-Matic model 1140 and I need to replace the beater-bar-brush. My usual Hoover parts site doesn't seem to list my model on its parts inventory. Does anyone know where I can order one? I would like an old fashioned metal roller with the beater bar. My local vacuum shop...

That is the best glam shot of the AE, my favorite!!! Great detail of that braided hose and boy would I like to find some of those old blue Elux dust bags. Thank you Miss Hamilton.

I just got a vintage beige/brown Model L from the mid-sixties. This machine meant something to me because I clearly remember the Electrolux salesman coming to our house in 1964 to sell my Mother our Turquoise Model G(which lasted well into my adulthood after years of severe abuse from a cleaning...

I believe it's a model # U400: I love the color but I want to know if it's a top or a bottom and whether it has the beater/bar/brush or just a brush bar.

I remember that GE blue swivel top like it was yesterday! I loved that machine; I wish we had kept it. Amazing how expensive it was!! $89 was a lot of money in the mid Fifties.

Hey you Hoover people! Have any of you seen the new Stainless Steel version of the Hoover constellation that's offered in the new Hammacher-Schlemmer catalogue? I'm not a Hoover expert but it looks pretty much like the originals! They're selling it for about $75.00 I think.

Does anyone out there know how to change the ends of braided hoses? I'm seeing a lot of hoses with handles and machine ends that aren't vintage to the braided hose? How is this done? Do you need special tools? The example below is a braided hose for the AE/E Electrolux with a handle that...

Charles, would you consider posting a scan of that whole photo/ad of the Electrolux AE in front of the Christmas tree? It has a good clear shot of the hose and the truest color of what that model must have looked like brand new. By the way, thank you for directing me to that ebay site; I was...

Re: the picture of the L's on your collection page, specifically, the unusual truncated L on the right: I'm assuming that was some kind of demo piece that salesmen used, yes? Regardless, was there ever an L model produced in that same beautiful turquoise green that they used on the G? It's...
