Wow! Just as beautiful as the Hoovers!
I used to have that Powerdrive- great, sturdy machine.

I have several powerdrives!!
They are amazing machines. They have been called... the Dial A Matics with everything corrected. I'll post some more very shortly. Glad you're enjoying them so far.

I'll show them all together soon. Killer headache at the moment.
Enjoy!

Please keep the pictures coming.
I love the stick vacs
Fantastic collection, the line-up on the stairs is impressive.
But I love the stick vacs most, the were sold here as well as "Hooverette".
How does the nozzle mechanism work? Ever wondered about these twin toggle pedals there.
Thanks for posting, keep them coming!

John, your home and collection look amazing and stunning. There is a lot of hard work there.
Thank you, VERY much!
I appreciate the comments a lot.
In regard to the "pedals": You push the brushe us and lock it "up" there with the pedal. When you "shift the pedal" the other way, it drops the brush back into use. It's for carpet AND bare floor surface.
Here's a "coffee can"... belonged to the great Terry Lattz!

I like your light over the table, you can never go wrong with stained glass. Is it vintage or a reproduction?
Thanks!
It's a repro.... was overpriced, but.... sometimes you must cross the line. When my paents bought the house inthe 50s, that kitchen was 2 rooms and a hallway. It has asbestos linoleum, a sink on legs (not a pretty keepable one), celotex staple up ceiling blocks, a dead chimney from a former coal stove, and......... a double doughnut flourescent light! Suffice it to say, it was a dog's breakfast. I did it over about 26 yrs ago... and tweaked it 3 yrs ago.. one addition 3 yrs ago was that new repro light. Glad you like it.

I just HAD to replace that dishwasher.
When "Al" removed the old one, I vacuumed, (naturally... w/ Miss Connie Hoover), I spied the remnants of the brick chimney.

And, a lot of $$ later.
It was very sunny that day. You can see the reflection. I've only used it once. You almost can't hear it at all.
