Does anybody know about a 1912 TUEC (Feb. 2009)
A number of people posted comments to this thread. I recently gave a tour of my 1912 home to a friend who was fascinated by the old motor for my mother's 1912 TuEC that is languishing in my basement. This friend researched the old vacuum for me and sent me a copy of this thread from 2009. I now have a contract for sale on my home, and I need to find homes for a number of things, not the least of which is this old vacuum relic. Does anyone have a suggestion for how I would go about finding a home for this 400 pound motor? I no longer have the hoses or attachments. My mother used the vacuum until about the end of WWII when she could no longer get household cleaning help. The hose was heavy and all the debris collected in the bottom of the motor and had to be brushed out by hand which was a dirty job. She loved her new electrolux that could be pulled along like a puppy and had disposable bags. I would appreciate suggestions for a new home for this collector's item. I can send photos if it would help. I also have a 1936 Maytag Mangle with instruction papers that needs a new home. Thanks for any suggestions.
