Sorry dysonman1, I didn't know that was your picture. I really like the Electrolux model G and wanted a picture of the front of one and this was the only suitable I could find. At the time, my Electrolux model G was long gone as I gave it to my local vacuum store for parts because the motor...

You Are... Doing a wonderful job! Your work is almost as good as some of the professionals! The motor on the American version of this is not in a sealed cylinder and is easily accessible. I think you made the right call on just putting the motor back in because the Canadian and European...

I was using a service manual to help me rebuild my Hoover model 28 and to remove the motor it says to remove the screws and lift it out of the housing. It also says to remove the gasket. I removed the only four screws I could see but the motor was in there as solid as it was before. I am not...

I was looking at a Hoover service manual from 1957 for some help on dismantling my Hoover model 28 and I found the section that talks about how to dismantle the Hoovers model 27, 28, and the model 305 but there was also the mention of a Hoover model 80. I was interested in what the vacuum looked...

I need... A brushroll for my Hoover model 28. Would any of those happen to be in that back room?

I went to try and get the bearing out of my Hoover model 28's brushroll as it needed to be replaced so I inserted the axel and planned to strike the end of the bearing with the axel until the bearing came out, but I unfortunately struck the end cap(I had no Idea it was plastic and I thought it...

Thank you.... You helped me get the other end cap off! I was going to use pliers at first but I was worried that it would damage the threads on the axel. Well I got it apart and found out that it was loaded with fine dust and some coarse dirt. I also discovered that both thrust bearings were...

Ever since I purchased my Hoover model 28, the brushroll has been very rumbly and to be honest it sounds like it has rocks in it. I tried to disassemble it but I could only get off the brush strips(which are very worn down) and one end cap(which I cleaned and polished to the best of my ability)...

I know that there are some rare Hoovers out there but I never bothered to ask myself the question of how rare my Hoover model 706 actually is. I have seen four or five around vacuumland but that doesn't exactly answer my question of how rare the model 706 is. I want to know how many were...

My Hoover model 28 is running slow. It has been running slow ever since I first got it a year ago but now it is worse than ever. I cleaned the top bearing which was caked with dirt, but I also noticed that a lot of the motor is caked in dirt so I am guessing that it has stuck carbon brushes. It...

I have a Hoover Convertible 706 which I had been working on for a while. I took off a few wires in order to remove the motor and when I finally reassembled the vacuum, I wasn't very sure if I had the wires in the correct order. I will post a picture below and can someone please tell me if I have...

Interesting... Looks nice except I hate it when they repaint the vacuums with a different color. I used to have an Electrolux model G that was refurbished by Electrolux but it had a burnt-out motor and that was one of the many reasons it was thrown out.

WOW!!!!!!!!!! That is so cool! I have never heard of or seen one before. Good luck on the restoration!!!

A Kirby... I would reengineer a Kirby because sometimes you don't know weather your Kirby is on or off. So I would put a flip switch on the handle with labeled on/off.

I am... So jealous! I have wanted an prewar Electrolux model xxx for some time. There was a prewar Electrolux model xxx on offerup but it sold before I could buy it.

I saw... An Electrolux model xxx in the Carol Burnette show. Tim Conway was the vacuum salesman and brought in a vacuum called the Davis 500 but you could tell it was an Electrolux model xxx.

Thank you.... For all of your answers. They were very helpful in helping me understand what this odd looking vacuum is. Special thanks to electrolux137 for the video. Apparently that vacuum shop has been an eBay member since 2005. Hey Huskyvacs, can you tell me where that vacuum shop is located...

I was browsing eBay and I found this really weird vacuum that looks like a hoover on a stick. It says it is a vacuum bag cleaner but I have never heard of such a thing. Can someone tell me what this is...

Kyle... That must have taken you forever to restore all of those vacuums. You did a great job Kyle! Can you rebuild my Hoover model 706?

Hoovers... My favorite vintage vacuum is the Hoover model 28 for sentimental reasons. As a small child, I would always visit my local vacuum store and ask how much the salesman there would want for the Hoover model 28. "Its not for sale!" He would always say, when he said this, I always got...
