I know the feeling. Small world Eric. My grandmother had a orange DAM when i was growing up and she let me run it as a little boy. I loved to play with it and use the hose in the back. After she passed it and a few other vacuums went in the estate sale. As a teenager i wasn't thinking. I regret...

Hello My Dear Friend Dave. Yes Dave those are great ad's. I just bought a new scanner a few weeks ago and have yet to set it up. I'm not the most technical man around. Once i do I'll find a way in sending them to you. Write to my e-mail address so we can communicate there. I have a lot more...

OH MY GOODNESS! Well Dave you sure did a great job on that tower and room. Your lucky to have such nice tall ceilings in your older home. That helps. You have an outstanding collection and it's nice to see it properly displayed. No matter how many vacuums a person has. We should all try and...

Welcome to the group! I too love my Hoover DAM. I'm not in Texas so i can't give any tips on were to go locally. But these vintage Hoovers do pop up from time to time. Although they are starting to get a bit harder to find in good condition. Keep trying estate and garage sales. And E-bay is a...

Nice Electrolux LX Well the Electrolux LX and LXI are my all time favorite Lux's. I love all versions of the LX, both with the earlier red/yellow side rails or the later plain silver ones. There is something nice about the simplicity of the later silver rails. I use my LX's for all my above...

Thanks Dave for the great pictures! I love all those different tools that were available for this model. I wish we had those here in the States. The only thing missing for this model was a saddle type tool caddy. I'd love to find one. But i have feeling here getting pretty rare now-a-days.

Good Find Logan! That really is a good find. Does the light work? I defiantly have a preference for Hoovers with a headlight. Nice to see what I'm vacuuming :) I must say i also like the color of that machine. I really do like beige or two-tone beige machines. Something about it that's claming...

Hoover Info. Thanks for the few replies to this post. Although not as many as i though i would have gotten. No one answered about the light bulb and how to change it. Does the lens come off or do i have to remove the whole hood?

Your Right. Some Nice Lux's Available For People. Yes there are some very nice Electrolux's on E-bay in last few weeks. Funny how things are on all of a sudden. Then months of not one decent vacuum. If a person didn't have a lot of deep pile rugs. Either the XXX or LX or LXI would be a great...

American Quality Doesn't Have To Die. Is very sad to see yet another American company closing it's doors. There are many reasons why Air-Way finally gave up. Many other posters have mentioned the big ones. Lack of innovation and development on there part. Little or no advertising etc. But...

Hi Gang, I'm getting interested in Hoover vacuums and just acquired a Hoover Convertible model U4317 off of E-bay. Also this is my first Hoover. YIPPY! I belive she is from the early 1970's. But i really have no idea. She looks like a good strong machine. I have a few questions you guys can help...

Excellent Site & Pictures! Jack, i just had to add my two pence in and say i truly enjoyed your site! You have some beautiful machines there. By the way, i have to ask. Will machines from England run on our US electric current? I think the answer is no, but I'm not sure. I've always wanted to...

Pic #2 Back view of this long lost Electrolux.

I saw this article on the web and i thought everyone on the site would like to see it too. Memories of Suction Past "Not that you could get a coffee-table book out of it, but every few weeks or oftener I encounter a used-up vacuum cleaner put out to pasture somewhere in town. Today's...

My God Were Do You Find These Machines? Well Charles once again I'm impressed with your website and your wonderful pictures. I know you must put a lot of time into making your website. I wouldn't know were to begin to do that. But without it i wouldn't know what originally went with my...

The Dual Sanitronic 50 for me! I own both the 50 and 80 and i must say the 50 is my choice. If i could have only one. I'd have no problem is selling the 80 in a heartbeat. Why do i prefer the 50? First, i love the color of this vacuum. There is something so restful and about that beige brown...

Great finds and LOVE that Filtex !! Hi Dave: Great collection of finds. I especially love that Filtex you got. Just like you mentioned it looks brand new. I defiantly want to get one of those for my collection. I rarely see them and never with the hose, attachments or paperwork. You got a once...

Nice Collection! WOW, nice collection of machines! Do you have a Electrolux LXI in that group? I see plenty of LX's. I could die happy if i could ever find and VG Electrolux LXI with chrome halo! Keep up the good work! Paul
