1973 was indeed the last year for the jcpenney handivacs. i have the gold tone penncrest 1561 one. it is not two speed. just single speed. only the f-bag handivacs had two speed motors. after that as shown in the 1974 catalog, they switched to sh!tland vacuums for stick vacs. i never got why...

Paul those bags shown are for the A-121 f bag handivac, not a eureka based machine.

if youre needing one to actually service machines? or just for collecting? if the former, you dont need it. an automotive grease gun with a needle tip will work just fine. if the latter, expect to pay big money and wait many years. hoover collectors often dont use them, but also refuse to...

Local here Hey Jack, i Live in Akron, just up the road from North Canton. The HHC as we hoover nerds call it, its a great place to visit for your first time to the "Home of Hoover". Docents give free tours on the Thursay - Saturday, however it should be known that except for Christmas...

Antoine if you need any assistance with service procedures on that Baycest Dial, let me know. Re-gasketing the bag door with window gasket foam and polishing the sole plate to a mirror shine will drastically increase performance, among other things. the brushroll takes a type 50 belt...

i would advise against it if youre in the hopes of finding the powermate for that machine. unless you trope trade in rooms and junk piles in vac shops regularly, you will NEVER find the powerhead for that machine by itself. if youre just ok with the canister by itself. take it home and enjoy...

vacmadman its not bad timing. the age bracket for what's "collectible" has drastically shifted in the last 10 years. the younger collectors don't care about vacuums before the 1980's now. when i got into this hobby 14 years ago, if you wanted something from the 1950's - 70s because of the...

With a very faded bag and scratches on the machine, no its not worth that. if the bag like new and perfect metal finishing AND original attachments, maybe at that price.

Michael: Here is some more specific information on your Penncrest connie. your model is an A107 made in penney white and penney biege. it had a very long run, however the aforementioned 1969 ad is not for your model. your model is older. the A107 had two color variants, and yours was made...

white hose charles, from what i talked to tom anderson about with several of the spec sheet photos, if tools etc weren't in the correct color, they just grabbed whatever was in production or with final mockups for the "beauty photos". ive seen oddball stuff on manuals and promo materials from...

here are the 843's spec sheets from the hoover company.

all those machines take the same bearing the parts numbers you have are correct. the older 5 digit number had the better all metal bearings though unless you find those old stock youll only be able to get the new ones with the nylon ends. ebay is your best bet. however if all your machines...

you need to be specific about what type of bearing and for what brand of cleaner. Will Hemb

ben you cannot accurately date a hoover product prior to 1987 from its serial number without internal corporate literature. the best you can do is the date range from when it was produced and guess a year based on serial number (low, high etc)

looks like you found alot of goodies John, what all did you come back to pittston with?

the belts are type 48 or part number 49258. if you get those get vintage ones made before the year 2007. ones made after that are junk. also 44783 belt (AG commercial) is also available, and better quality, those can still be had new but are more expensive. use genuine hoover type c bags ...

Eureka1998 thats the base of an 1178 power drive dial a matic from 1974/5. here are the spec sheets for that machine also thats from the hoarder lady who owns irving vacuum in irving texas. she hates collectors. someone will really score decent stuff from that shop when she dies. she...

correct to #1 thats a Westinghouse mobile speed, not a roll easy

les you know well as anyone else these don't exist outside bill edstrom or the random hoarder vacuum shop. A lei person will curb it when they can't find the part on amazon.
