Filter Queen Parts Haul. Does anybody else buy parts when they find them before needed?

[FilterQueenEthan]

Due to Filter Queen discontinuing the straight hoses, I wanted to get another while I could. I stumbled across this 1992 95X parts lot on eBay and I didn't hesitate to grab it! For the price of a good hose I got all these parts after shipping! I got another AN-96, a hose in good shape plus 2 wands and attachments. A straight wand will be a good thing to have in case I ever have to buy a gas nozzle style hose but prefer straight hose curved wand. It will be nice for cleaning my ceilings because I have 10' ceilings. I also ordered 2 packs of filters for $17 each! At that price I decided to stock up. It is so cold I didn't have to work today, so going to take advantage of the paid time off and give the 95X/AN96 a tune up!

Tried to adapt that rainbow tool I had, the diameter is slightly larger.

Of course! I know what parts are hard to find and buy them as soon as they pop up on ebay.

I will generally buy parts as I find them, there will come a time when you cannot find the parts.

Nice haul!

Thanks! I was able to pull parts from that 96 for my other because the bottom plate screw is a special screw just for those bottom plates and I had one missing. The K88 and AN-96 use the same bodies so I have spares if needed. Wanted the gray crevice tool to match my 95X because it had a mismatched brown one that came with it. Floor tool was also in better shape, so I used it and robbed the connector out of the 6" nozzle for the straight wand because it is missing the locking pin. I also robbed the headlight bulb for my K88.

I wish there was a vacuum cleaner salvage yard we could all go pull parts from!

That would be great! Imagine a website where everyone puts their scrap machines on and people can cheaply buy parts from them.

I usually try to keep my eyes open for parts, attachments, or accessories that I either need now or may need eventually. Some are more readily available, while others are harder to find. But I get what I can when I can with the hope of eventually having all my machines as complete as possible.

France Purification has hooked me up with good used parts for my Swedish Luxes on occasion. A German Lux dealer who goes by the name of Michi on the German ebay site has also hooked me up with lots of clean low use Swedish treasure.
