back room vacs-You restore or use parts or I scrap

[rugsucker]

Jason,

There should be an extra moth crystal tin.They seem to be the most common.Other tins had liquids with screw cap.There was a glass jar for shampoo and later a spray can for window cleaner.Still no final count on CBs but brown will be the nicest.

Maybe contact Aerus Electrolux of Richmond, Virginia and see if they would take any of the Electroluxes or not.

 

[rugsucker]

"--contact Aerus--of Richmond--"

I did.He has all he needs.
The most serious person I have talked to is a scrap metal guy.As I need these out it is almost time to open the back door and load his truck.If collectors don't care I no longer care.
Elux include above mentioned tanks (XXXs - Rennys),older & Discovery uprights,rug washers,newer shampoo/polishers,B-8s,B-6 & older polishers including a polished aluminum model & a Cambridge.Do any care what a Cambridge is?(A pre production Discovery with the experimental foot pedal handle release.)

 

[gottahaveahoove]

I contacted you a while back.

I don't think there's anything there that's on my list of (Hoover stuff).

 

[rugsucker]

"-Hoover stuff-"

Hoover will include, but not be limited to as more is being found--
MANY 'coffee can' uprights & MANY sets of Dusting Tools, hand vacs starting with first Dustette & later including brush Vac & Helpmate,tanks including Holiday style,MANY Constellations,40s-50s uprights,MANY Convertibles & hoses & telescopic(& other) wands,Swingette & later(many colors),Slimlines including with cordwinder/att rack,MANY Portables most with hose & att inside,polishers & shampooers(many colors),broom styles,non electric sweepers,Celebritys from parts machine to very nice,Hoover Z,dealer displays for UR atts & Brush Vac,BAGS-cloth,vinyl & paper,factory made dealer signs(think of an 8 foot bumper sticker) and MORE.

Hey Jimmy- Ill give you a call towards the end of the week to talk about some of the Electrolux machines. I'm interested in the CB's, LX, LXI's as you come across them. Maybe we can work out something where I can just buy a pallet of them shipped if thats something you are interested in doing.

 

[huskyvacs]

He won't ship, he expects people to rent a truck and make the drive down there. I asked him 3 yrs. ago about a few attachments and that's what he told me. I live 630 miles away - thats about 3 or 4 day's drive and UHAUL would charge about $1,700 for that much mileage. It's not at all feesable or practical unless you live within his state.

Many collectors sell their vacs & parts on eBay and make serious bank. The one collector I have been following cleared over $900 in just 2 weeks selling old vacs that have not even been restored, $30-$50 for shipping, and people have snatched them up like crazy. He sold virtually every vacuum he put up. 1930's hamilton beach with no handle, no cord, no bag, went for $40 alone. Some Kenmores from just 10 years ago grabbed $60 a pop.

 

[maytag142c]

3 or 4 days drive? Do you drive 25mph? That would be like a 6-7 hour drive and it would be your choice to rent a uhaul. A car/SUV would do it for most as a uhaul would seem a bit excessive.
I understand why he doesn’t ship, if he’s giving stuff away for free or for small dollar amounts, and/or only charging shipping there’s the cost of the time for packing and fuel from going to where his stuff is located to the post office.

Time = money to any business owner

 

[rugsucker]

"He won't ship--"

Then why have I already packed & taped 2 boxes going 2 states away & found a box for parts going to Canada this morning?As well as needing to call for final arrangements of a vac going across country.As for a few attachments these could be in a few different places requiring extra time to find.Which is why I am sorting vacs & parts by model when time permits.
First of all I have a used book store with 1000s of books that is a full time job.I also do some vac sales,service & supplies such as the Sears/Panasonic UR that needed a cord & Dirt Devil service I had to do yesterday which can be another half to full time job.A job which I will let China & Mr Dyson do more of.EBay which I would love to be back on as with my full time EBay seller who became ill & died would be a full time job.Any EBay sellers here who want a commission on 1000s of items?!?Not to mention I am working out of 2 buildings 1 block apart which is 1 to many!
To clarity what I may have said before-If you are nearby or want a road trip to a nice part of the country put your shipping money in the gas tank and come pick & choose.Otherwise after we speak on phone(no EMail,no voice mail)and choose vacs & parts & I receive a reasonable price I can take items 1/2 mile to UPS(I may not always have time to pack)where you will pay packing,shipping & insurance as you choose.Or the dumpster,emptied daily, is across the parking lot & 3 scrap metal guys are standing by.

Me and UPS--

--just made 2 older,rarer vacs go to KY as you will see in the vintage forum.Can we make some go to your state??

 

[vacsofprosper]

Rugsucker, hi I was wondering if you have any 12 amp Hoover Elite motors in your back room? Thank you.

 

[rugsucker]

Elite

Motors and fans have been used up from once common Elite customer service/repair.I will have some handles,cloth bags,bag compartments,hoods and possible cords but most of this will be second in dumpster,after Bissell,when I have extra time to to clear out.
Hoovers Elites were a good vac in their price range and I feel better than similar Eureka,Singer,etc.
