Haven't been on in a while. Was wondering what became of the lady Hopester? ...never heard back from her.

perhaps we can get together next time you're in Lauderdale Lakes for a show and tell.

See link for new Sentria II. Personally, I prefer the design of the former Sentria, but that's just me.

I agree with the suggestion to buy a used 900 series from the 1990's with the adjust-O-rite step-on height adjuster. They were made in the US, very good quality and should last forever.

Hope - just a reminder, since I've not heard back from you, about the old Hoover bags you we've discussed. Do you have them? Please let me know. Thanks again.

Congrats! Looks beautiful, Derek - great job! How'd you get it so shiney?

Hi Hopester - I'm happy for you that you're getting good responses. Providence has a way of caring for us. I've been in your position and overwhelmed with vacuum parts having to dispense with them to move on. Just know you'll get through this and with money too. ;-D As a reminder, please let me...

TRY AN OLD ESTABLISHED VAC REPAIR STORE... THEY MAY HAVE SOME PARTS THAT WILL WORK. GOOD NEWS IS THAT THERE ARE STILL MANY OF THE OLD EUREKAS AROUND FOR SPARES. YOU MIGHT FIND A JUNKER ON EBAY FOR CHEAP.

Oh!... Thanks for the photos. I'm glad that Brasso worked out for you. I was surprised; I didn't think the hoods looked that bad for being in the sun for 30 years.

150 hood..... Don't think I've ever encountered a severely sun-baked bakelite hood. This could be a one-of-a-kind challenge. A standard recommendation many club members rely on is to try giving it a good rub-down with Brasso. A light sanding with a very fine grit wet sandpaper is another...

Hans.... That's a great looking Kenmore. Would it be an updated version of the Commander?

Regina.... ...another uncensored photograph of my Regina

Regina... Regina Crown suction only w/Westinghouse motor

John... Thanks for that information and for your interest in this HB thread. I think I'm getting an idea of the approximate age of the No.12, but still trying find some documented production dates to verify. Until then, a Hamilton Beach "cyclonic" milkshake might have to do.

Auction... If you go to auction with your vacs, they will arrive at their true value. Just a suggestion: Don't do what some sellers do by listing a ridiculously high starting price. This practice just puts bidders off, resulting in no bids at all.

John... In the 1947 Good Housekeeping ad, wouldn't that be a model 14 at the bottom rather than a model 12 because of the obvious headlamp? I couldn't find any notation for the model number of the upright. In the following post regarding the adaptable motor, could that be Mr. Beach's fractional...
