Emptying storage unit-VACS MUST GO !

[rugsucker]

I need to empty a small storage unit.Note-Even if you have been here you may not have seen this.If you want or need anything a personal visit by you or someone in your area might be best.(Just ask Hans.The last to come get many vacs for little money.)I would also consider taking to UPS(closer than the scrap metal yard)if you want to pay them for packing,shipping,insurance.Would be a great time to visit with cooler weather,changing leaves,close to interstate and more.I value many of these at $0-$5 or $5 to $20.Some would be more due to rarity,condition,etc.---Contents of this unit include,bt IS NOT limited to,FG Eureka-some blue with cordwinder,Kirby-50s to 80s,AirWay 55/66,Elux B-8s-machine only here-not sure of other brushes/parts,Amway-Dyson copy,storage hasocks,Hoover portable dryer(gold),Penncraft shop type vac,Tanks-Westinghouse,Modern Hygiene,etc,Canisters-Hoover Diminsion,Eureka Empress,Royal(and private labels),etc,various power nozzles and more and more.I would like to see many of these find a new home or be used for needed parts but my options do include the dumpster and scrap metal yard(with instant payment for AirWay,Kirby,Lewyt and others).

Jimmy: just wondering if you have Clay's vacuums you were storing for him in a separate storage area? Wouldn't want Clay's vacs getting mixed up with the ones you're getting rid of.

Hey Jimmy

Did you find any of the Lewyt parts we talked about?

If you happen to come across a brown plastic halo & cord for an Electrolux 1453 special...!

 

[ncovert]

What model Kirby's do you have?

storage unit vacs

Tom-Clays vacs are in corner of larger unit with a mountain of 20s-30s-40s-uprights in front of.Only one that left was a Modern Hygiene to Hans after working a trade with Clay.P.S.Do you have a copy of how we should calculate storage and interest charges after 30 days?Just kidding!
Doug-Only 1 round Lewyt here.Atts and others are in different places awaiting more sorting and order.
Charles-Have halo but cord is harder to find.There may be 2 or 3 more Specials to add to the others.
Noah-Kirbys include-no 505 or older,some mid to late 50s,a few 60s,a few 70s,many Heritage-H-2.Some already good to very good,others to restore.Many att sets,etc(but little for green Sanitronic).

 

[collector2]

Hey Jimmy - which round Lewyt is it? I'm still missing the two pink ones. (pink and white model 81 and pink and grey model 103)

Hello Jake(and Chevy truck)--Goodbye Vacs!

Jake,who moved to TN last year after selling,servicing and collecting vacs in Wyoming,drove up yesterday in a 70s Chevy truck for some Filter Queens(Majestic and newer).After loading FQs we went to small storage unit and added-Elux B-8 & XXX,70s & 80s Kirbys,Empress,2 Regina brooms(one a 'Reginalux'),AirWay 55-66-77,2 of 4 Amway Dyson copies and 1 Vorwerk(newer).And will return for Lewyt & Rexair.The good news for me is this storage unit is closer to empty.The good news for you is that there is more still here and much more in other areas(upstairs,etc).-Who will be next?!

 

[rugsucker]

Doug,

Was early round gray with beat up lower blue storage box.Is now upstairs at what is becoming the Lewyt corner.I think I have 1 or 2 pink atts and a later round tan vac with attached wheel dolly.

 

[constellation86]

Any way you could post pictures of what's left?
Thanks,
Nicholas

 

[collector2]

Thanks Jimmy - let me know what all you end up with. I just picked up a model 107 but still need a power nozzle for it and the 111.

Doug

 

[kirby505]

do you have a filter queen k31x?

 

[durango159]

Hoover Power nozzles

Hi Jimmy!

I am seeking 2 specific Hoover power nozzles. Hoover Celebrity Elite II and Hoover Guardsman canister power heads.

Both power heads would be exact same design with box style headlight, but Celebrity Elite II has the brown color scheme and Guardsman has the red color scheme.

Thanks so much!!

 

[rugsucker]

Do I Have ??

Nicholas-Pics?Maybe soon.(But it may be after someone else takes what you need.)Any specific wants?
David-K31x?-Probably as I have more than 1 of most FQ after late 50s.Various condition including very nice with complete atts in att box.
Rob-Have a complete Celebrity that looks like the model for your picture and a nice red Guardsman with longer hose and power nozzle that is in line for EBay.Also many Celebritys(various conditions)and hoses and wands and original boxes and atts and power nozzles.And Futura and Dimention and their power nozzles and more and more.
Doug-No extra Lewyt PN but much other.

 

[constellation86]

What Dimension stuff do you have? Also any Quadraflex power nozzles?
Thanks
Nicholas

 

[rugsucker]

Hoover Dimension stuff?

Possibly one standard blue and more than one of gray and black,wands,some atts(but few floor brush),possible power nozzles(but some may have typical broken corner of base),hose ends but few hoses(used).To empty this unit should mean that any vacs that don't go now will be grouped with any similar models so I can better answer these questions.

 

[constellation86]

Any electronic ones? I would like to find a good electronic hose.

 

[blackheart]

Would you have

a hoover constellation hose? i'm looking for one for my 454 it can be in any shape i'm really after the machine end of the hose so it it has holes that's perfectly fine.

I'm also seeking a hoover quadraflex nozzle in white.

 

[rugsucker]

Do I have ?

Nicholas-I do have the Hoover Electronic vac(I think made in France)in med to dark brown.I should have the hose ends but the hose just broke apart in pieces as I have seen with other Euro vacs such as Vorwerk.
Devin-I seem to have more Constellations than hoses but may at least have an extra end.Not sure yet if Hoover nozzles include white.

 

[constellation86]

Sorry I meant Dimension Electronic. My hose is in rough shape and I love the automatic speed control.
Nicholas

 

[rugsucker]

Hoses

Sorry, As above only a very few in used condition. (Probably with tape at ends.)

Who will be next to be next??

A collector with an empty Ford truck arrived this weekend and left FULL.( Air Way 88 and many uprights, vintage to modern).Hint-I think I saw a midwest license plate.

 

[bvac6]

Midwest plates!

Could they have been from Indiana? He he he!

 

[rugsucker]

I forgot the Thermax and Sears canisters(58-63)and

Black & Decker from the 80s with power nozzles and probably others.And polishers.
Who will be next?
(Plates-Indiana?That's it!!)

 

[rugsucker]

almost empty

I can now see most of floor.Many vacs have new homes,some are ready for E Bay next week and later,others are moved upstairs with groups of same vacs such as GE Swivel Tops and others move closer to the scrap yard and dumpster.--Under the layers was a Clark 400 (similar to Eureka F-g and Sanitaire,not the 500)from maybe about 1970.I should also have a 300 if anyone wants to add to their F-G style family of uprights.And more and MORE!Who will be next with a truck?

 

[super-sweeper]

Please,

Do post pictures (If capable) of that 400 & 300!


It's an absolute dream machine!

 

[rugsucker]

Clarkes

The 400 is out of small unit and had a hard life and wrong bag.The 300 is under other Eurekas at larger storage unit and may be better condition and possible correct bag.Both red/white.I think difference is- 400 with chrome hood and headlight,300 with painted hood and no headlight.I would like to have them together and then off to a good home.(These styles are easy to restore and find parts for.)Don't have a 500 but have bags,LOTS of bags,and maybe a good used fan.

 

[rugsucker]

Clarkes,cont.

The 2 separated Clarkes had a reunion on my workbench last night.The 300 has-rounded white hood,no headlight.The 400 has-flat chrome hood with headlight(missing lens).Both have-white handle with metal cord hooks,replacement bags,good 'Clarke' labels,triangle shaped height knob,full wide bumpers(rubbed at corners),bad cords,use brush with small square end(brush & bottom plate missing on 400),running motors with bearing noise.--Any interest?Will be in line for EBay soon.--P.S.-The 300 was found under Hoover conv,MW (Eureka) upright in dark brown color and a burgundy Hoover Supremacy canister.Most needing new homes!
