    Donating to the museum?

    Oh, it's in the USA - it came to me from Austrialia. Post your Zip code or you can check with USPS for a package from 05101 to your zip. The package is 22" x 12" x 10" and weighs 9 lbs.

    Donating to the museum?

    I'm moving and have tried selling this Lux-O-Foam Shampoo accessory on ebay but it hasn't had any interest. Time is running out (a week to departure), so if there's a collector who wants this unique accessory from Austrailia, please let me know.

    Wiring up an old Bayonet Plug

    There is a Load side and a Nutural side to the wiring. The load side is the lead that the switch is wired to. If I remember correctly, early home wiring in the USA had fuses on both Load and Nutural sides in the main pannel. When Grounding (Earth) outlets were introduced it became allowable to...

    Fixing A Leaky Braided Hose

    Thanks for the replies. My initial searches didn't come up with any results. Fix-A-Flat is a No Go as it is toxic (thanks for pointing that out, Ben [massagemiracle]), for anyone thinking about it from my first post. @Erik: I am using a vinyl hose but I don't like the gargantuan-sized grip...

    Fixing A Leaky Braided Hose

    Is there a simple solution to sealing an old Electrolux braided hose? I have 2: one has practically no suction loss but is not an electric hose and is a little stiff. The other is an electric hose from an early 1205 (pigtail on machine end and quick-connect at handle) that I would like to use...

    Electrolux owned by Eureka

    That's not quite right... In 1968 (?) Electrolux USA was aquired by Consolodated foods. Electrolux Sweeden (Europe?) continued to exist overseas. Sometime later Electrolux (Sweeden) aquired Eureka and continued marketing that brand in the USA. I think there were a few parent company changes...

    Company called "VCP" (Possible generic parts for Kirbys)

    I've used Hesco for a motor once. Seems OK: my one experience didn't require any returns as I did get the right part. I've seen someone here mention them not long ago, too.. However, their Kirby section reads as follows: "Kirby Vacuum Cleaner Models Kirby has had a long-standing policy with...

    My very small collection

    Alex, I've heard that Maria Von Trapp lived here in Vermont in the Stowe area. The family runs a small Inn somewhere on the outskirts of town. I haven't thought about looking up more information on them but I will do so now. Dave, That project lamp, though maybe made by an avaerage Joe...

    My very small collection

    Dave, The GE's motor attached to the handle is an interesting design, though I notice that the underside reveals what I would think is a poor plenum between the fans and the brushroll. The sharper angles are points of energy loss and turbulance. The Singer S series seems to have a much smoother...

    My very small collection

    Hi Brian. Thanks for that video link. It's a wonderful find. I'm embedding it into my website's Singer page. Dave - I missed your post on the GE Silhouette when I replied above (we must've been playing tag again). That design does look strickingly similar to the Singer and looks fantastic...

    My very small collection

    @Christopher: Not a problem. Raymond Lowey started development of the S series Singers in the late 40s, I believe. I thought I saw an ad for the S1 dated around 1951 somewhere. I believe I read that it ran for about 12 years or so. @Erik: Belts stretch and snap, and can usually be replaced...
