1964 Sunbeam canister

[sudai]

Mom has had a Sunbeam canister vacuum (model 635-1?) since about 1964. The motor seems to be fine, so all it needs is a set of bags to get going again and Sunbeam cannot help her. Do you have any ideas?

Looks like a Hoover celebrity rebadge, I think that's hoover bag style H. Anything over 10 years old and 99% of the time the represenatives you talk to from the manufacturer will be of no help nor have the resources to get you what you need.

is NOT a hoover celebrity private label. those sunbeams were made in the early 60's. best bet is to go to an old hardware store or ebay for bags for these machines. they are still out there, just now brand new. DVC may still make them new...

Sunbeam...

Built that right in good old Chicago, and if its running right will suck the paint off the walls!

The bags are obsolete. I have a few packs I could sell you. Private message me for prices.

Yes, the motor is amazing! Sunbeam says it stopped making those bags in the 1980s, but I wonder if there is an equivalent. Maybe you were referring to one like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hoover-Type...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item484562bb6e

I wonder if eureka princess style H bags would work if the Hoover H bags don't
