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

[rugsucker]

My book store now has 1000s of books for 100s of feet of shelving that need more space which means the vacs in the back room behind the back room need to GO!If you need parts or want to rebuild this is FINAL WARNING on these.Most prices would be $0.00 to $5.00 or whatever metal scrap is.
Pictures soon.

I refurbish vacuums for fun and to make a little money. Typically I go for commercial, high quality, and vintage machines. I’m curious. How much for the guardsman and how much for the brown vintage Kirby?
Also am looking for the following hard to find Kirby parts:
561 original bag with hanger
Grey cord compatible with 561
Legend II handle lock switch (2 needed)
561 emtor
Metal fan (505-ds80)
561 bag guard
Legend II fancase (the metal securing part for the bar broke on one side for a unit I bought)
Legend II cord (2 of them)

The rest of the Kirby parts I need can be found on eBay.

Guardsman(pic 3)-I think this one has crack in plastic base,otherwise very good.Am finding similar metal base as I dig further in back room.Also Royals.
Brown Kirby(pic 6)-I think complete and easy restoration.Each probably $30-40.
I do have a parts bin of metal fans,not labeled.Possibly early Kirby?
Very few Heritage/Legend Kirbys left but MANY older and Generation.Parts or easy restorations.Also MANY hoses,attachments,polishers,renovators,HandiButlers,flex shaft,etc & MORE for MOST Kirbys.
It seems you go between ILL & FLA.Why not stop halfway and choose a car load??

I need...

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

"-brushroll-"

Most at old shop are Convertible but still have MANY Hoover uprights from 20s-40s from very good to use for parts.May have time to look this weekend.

Electrolux Olympia wanted

I see you have a bunch of Olympia’s (Brown and Cream Automatic Control Electrolux’s.)I have a Silverado delux e but the motor is dead and could pair up a decent Olympia with my Silverado’s hose and attachments if you have one whose motor works well and body is in decent shape. The plastic base on my Silverado is broken so I’d be interested in an Olympia with a decent motor AND body if that’s remotely available.

Also I have a nice XXX..and I saw a cord reel on an XXX in a pic. I’d be interested in that…just the removable and unpluggable cord reel to add to my XXX. Do you have any XXX attachment caddy’s that mount to the top?I also like those but don’t have one. I’d gladly pay the shipping for all of this. A working switch off an XXX would be good too for a spare.

Finally I like the attachment caddy’s for the Electrolux uprights if you have any of those. They are convenient for me to keep the attachments for my model L in which I lug up from the basement to the garage and driveway when I want to vacuum out the cars. 2 of those would be great if you have them.

Let me know…my email is in my profile. Thanks, Jon

Jo,

Olympia/Silverado--Most in back room have good body,not sure of motor condition.May still have Silv that was very good except for cracked rear wheels.
XXX-Should have most everything from good XXX,parts,att caddy,cordwinder & parts XXXs.
Elux UR caddy-Yes!I think 2 slightly different versions.Also Kirby caddys from G-3 & newer.(I use G-3 caddys for atts/supplys for Mo G,Panasonic UR & shop vac.)
Will try to look closer but a huge problem is little time for vacs as book store takes much MORE time.Hiring someone to fill a comm dumpster is looking like a better & better option.

Do you have any:

Kirby F&G Conversion Bags
Kirby F&G Couplers
Aftermarket Kirby Trim Kits (Preferrably red or blue)

 

[rugsucker]

"Do you have--"

bag-don't think so
coupler-possible red one
trim-might be red,blue,tan
These would be at old shop 1 block away.Hoping to sort through much of that soon.

I can help you deal with these and some interest

I can repost this on the two Facebook Electrolux vacuum groups if you’d like letting people know they need to call you but don’t want to do so without asking you if that’s ok first so is that ok?

Also, are you willing to ship if the person interested pays the shipping fees?

Next….I’m likely interested in that Silverado that’s in good shape you mentioned to me earlier I think you said it has cracked back wheels, I have a Silverado with a dead motor that has become a parts donor. I wouldn’t mind a picture of it first though and a definite confirmation the motor sounds good…the shipping will be a lot so I’m on the fence but those things will help make my decision.

Definitely interested in an XXX cord reel and an XXX attachment caddy as my XXX does not have these items and really would like to get them. I am willing to pay the shipping for these of course.

Also looking for the swivel lock rings from Electrolux pigtail hoses. They slide off when you press the snap clips in and sometimes you might need a flat black screwdriver to get it started sliding off.

Hey Jimmy

We spoke on the phone several years ago. Did you ever find the Bronze CB that matched the Bronze model G (Like this one or with the stainless tank?)

Jimmy

In case you didn’t realize…Aerus is no longer making parts for most of the metal machines so the parts will really be needed as people restore these machines. Sounds like you don’t have space for them. Have you tried contacting Bryan at Richmond Virginia Aerus. Rvavacuums.com. He may be interested in driving to you and loading up a lot of those Electrolux machines to be parts donors or restore. He specializes in restoring the old models. Call him 804-527-2775.

Jo,

repost-Yes,thanks!This is not meant to be a secret and I have no time to search all the vac groups.Also will be MUCH Kirby stuff & MORE from 20s--90s.
ship-After I receive a low,reasonable price I can take to UPS 1/2 mile away.I may not have time to pack but they do.
Silverado-There were 6 1205 here and a few DJ & newer but most are OO & Silv.Will now be easier to find best ones.There are also XXX,LX & E--G as well as a few more at old building.
parts-Should have good winder & caddy(both were post WWII options)& found a rusty XXX caddy this week but assume you want better.Swivel locks are scarce but may be at old shop.
Doug,
There should be at least 8 CBs in both the back room behind the back room & the back room beside it.Most blue or brown.I do seem to have a very nice stainless tank with good tan bumper but no top assy.
