    Pink GE Swivel Top find

    Pretty in pink... Andy, Great find as well. This machine is right around the time that G.E. was hitting it's high point as a vac manufacturer. No the hose is not original as you were told, but was a strange early molded plastic material that cracked and split towards the machine and...

    Found a Premiere today... don't know much about it..

    Hi Fred, As usual great catch. After you work your magic, you should have a great machine to play with and have for your collection. You're right these machines were not common then or now, and so finding one is definitly a coup. I don't know if you remember or not, but I had mine at convention...

    What can you tell me about a Singer R5?

    Jack, Fire away dear friend. The pics weren't mine to begin with, as I believe i found them over on that LIFE website that features different photos from over the years. And they are most appropriate here? Incidentally, I too just got one of these monsters from Kyle K, that was originally...

    Packard Deluxe and Eureka Model K

    Can you provide a link to the Packard forum you mentioned ab Sure Roger, This is what I call the online clearinghouse of all information Packard. It is by far my most favorite site of them all, and pales in comparison to the others. There are links to the other packard websites there too. But...

    Packard Deluxe and Eureka Model K

    As far as I was ever told, by a still living original Packard dealer over on a Packard automobile forum...that the Packard vacuum was developed to be sold by Packard dealers during downtime's in the showroom. I also visited a well known automobile museum in Mishawaka Indiana; the S. Ray Miller...

    Royalaire 260 "After" Pics

    Jeff, The results are indeed stunning. You must be so proud to have such a nice Royalaire in your collection. I feel personally that yes you can have a NIB anything, but for many; it's one that you bring back with love and devotion, is surely one that has the fonder outcome and ending. And As...

    What year is this Simplcity????

    Synergy X-9 or X9.1 and Riccar Radiance Yepper we sold those quite alot of them, before the new Miele S7's came on scene. We still sell them of course, but now are kinda secondary choices. It's main uniqueness was the dual motor capability with dual suction creating fans. The lower motor that...

    Another New Compact - C-9 UPB

    Possibly my very favorite of all Compact's for two reasons. 1. The cool sparkly tools, and handle on the main unit. 2. The electric Eureka Roto-Matic Powerbrush starring as the Turbo-Brush, which kinda seems a contradiction in terms. So happy to see that you got not ONE beautiful NIB Compacts...

    most wanted vacs

    That would be the Sanitizor you're looking for Brnadon. It was made in several different models. The 55, 55a, 66, 77, 88, 88 MarkII, Mark V, and later models such as the Centurion. You may want to start hunting, as they aren't all that common unless you find on on e-bay. I found my first 66 at...

    Mini-meet my place Sunday Apr 5th

    The Chicken in the rough was actually VERY good. It was NOTHING like KFC or Churches, which end up giving the end user a terrible time in the loo afterwards. It's too bad that they no longer have as as many franchises as they used to. I definitely would be a repeat customer if that was the...

    Black and Decker Canister (Canadian) Post initial restoration...

    5 winter/summer extremes. Dave, You can say that again. As I drove home and Rusty napped, or was just quiet...I was mapping out in my mind how I was gonna tackle it. It seems to have worked out just fine, and thankfully you see the results. Gary, Too bad your mom had such results with her...

    Mini-meet my place Sunday Apr 5th

    Was the Eureka 60 - 97 the result for the BrandyWine caniste Mike, I believe so. Dave was this correct? Anyway, all the tests were done on hi-speed, and it was the difference between the pull of suction at "Drapes" on one side of the six suction selector buttons, and "Carpets" at the other...
