Dating the 7 2 5... The US 725 was manufactured from 1929-1931. Great Question!

Just received the VCCC's most recent Newsletter and it was a treat to 'thumb through' and enjoy. Many thanks to Editor John Long and Assistant/arranger Kim Jo. As my Dad would say in his best Brooklyn accent, "YOU DONE GOOD!" Thank you both. RBinOC!

Another Convention for the books and the records Yep, another Outstanding Convention, both in terms of fun and planned activities. The seamless transitions from one event to the next was a testament to all the hard work clearly invested...again. It was a treat to reconnect with so many great...

Worth waiting for!! Well, I am a little late to this party, having received my Newsletter last week, but the Newsletter was indeed worth waiting for! The copy, pics, and layout were great, and I especially enjoyed the tributes to the incomparable Ruth Hollander. She indeed represented...

Another awesome Convention! I, and everyone with whom I spoke had a wonderful and yet relaxing time.  This was nicely planned and executed with a few wonderful, unexpected add-ons like the visit to another fascinating local collector, Levi, who graciously opened his home, collection, and...

Accessing the motor filter <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Yes, that is correct for the 50/51/53 series Aero-dynes with the ejector/ejaculator set up!  It's not the most convenient, housewife-friendly set up since you'll need your Craftsman flat/slotted head screwdriver.  Be sure to remove the...

Everything's Up to Date........ <span style="font-size: 14pt;">Well,... if  EVERYTHING'S  up to date in Kansas City, how could I miss that??   The past few Conventions have been so incredible...I'm SO looking forward to more of the same this year in Kansas City.  Many people had asked for...

Shaking.... <span style="font-size: 12pt;">It is almost certainly (that) the fans need cleaning.  Dirty fans cause an 'out of balance' condition.  It may not seem like a lot, but dirty fans routinely cause vibration/shaking.  Definitely worth cleaning them in either case though you need to...

Gorgeous! I Have to say your cleaners are stunning, both in choice and condition, including the bags! It's as if they came from a time capsule! They also represent my favorite period of Hoover's manufacturing; particularly from 1916 to 1938 but continuing through 1956 which, all included...

VERY COOL 103 <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Great acquisition!   And a very nice job of bringing that back to life!!!   </span>   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Also nice to know/find other collectors in SoCal.</span>   GO HOOVER!   <span style="font-size: 12pt;"> RB</span>

Locating a 61 <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Is CraigsList an option in Calgary?</span>

Free Vacuums.... <span style="font-size: 14pt;">This would seem very telling. </span>                                                                                                                                                     <span style="font-size: 14pt;">                             ...

Ken <span style="font-size: 12pt;">I have never known you to be or act anything but gentlemanly and your posts are always of interest; a great example and ostensibly the very "raison d'etre" for Vacuumland.  But you seem to give a pass to, or support 'D -man' on his nasty and uncalled for...

NAILED IT! <span style="font-size: 14pt;">Ah, Those annoying Facts!!  Bill, I could not have expressed it better myself!!  KUDDOS!!</span>   <span style="font-size: 14pt;">RB</span>

Re-boot! <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Hey Phillip!   Congrats, but so glad to know you had another position lined up FIRST!  I've known a few who made that critical gaffe and sadly, deeply, regretted it.  So yes, you are 'good to go!' and should celebrate!  Again, congratulations!  I just...

Stunning! I'm not exactly the Poster boy for Kirbys, but Rick, that looks amazing and I can see why you are so proud of it.  Having been the recipient of an NOS Hoover 29 bag some years back, and then an extremely nice Hoover 27 bag this year, I understand your thrill and am equally happy for...

Gallery of pictures <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Thank you, Kenny.  What a GREAT array, documenting so much of the Convention.  Yes, as John L stated, "A GOOD TIME WAS HAD BY ALL!!!"   I surely second that!</span>   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">   RB</span>

505 Looking 'Fabulous' <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Rick, that bag surely completes that machine.  It's probably screaming "THANK YOU!"  Marc is among the finest people I know, and certainly among the most generous..  Enjoy it!</span>   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">RB</span>

Major Kudos to our host in Spokane! WOW!   Another incredible Convention!  So many thanks to our host, Marc, the Board, and numerous members who stepped up to provide such a fun, vibrant convention.  It seems each succeeding VCCC Convention continues to approach or meet the rather high bar...

Convention in Los Angeles <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Indeed, the Convention was in Los Angeles in 2005 and it was awesome with two very large and varied collections exhibited.  Though each collection was quite varied, one collection displayed an essentially complete array of Electrolux...
