I found fun stuff!

Went rummaging deep in the graveyard at the shop today, and found a Lux XXX, and Lux G, both in very good condition. With a bit more digging, I even found most of the tools for the XXX, including the elusive white bristle dusting brush! Both Lux's are now at my station waiting to be rebuilt for the salesfloor at the shop, even if they dont sell quickly the customers always love seeing the older vacs on display. Also found a Filter Queen Majestic, complete, no issues at all other than it needs a good cleaning, and either a hose repair or a new hose. I love rescuing vacs from the graveyard. ^__^

not exactly sure what you are asking, lol.. The shop belongs to my friend, I work there part time. The graveyard is in the rear portion of the building, where the customers dont go. This section of the building is where all the trade-ins and new aquisitions go, while waiting to be sorted out or worked on. Obviously some of the trade-ins have been waiting quite a while, lol.

Hey,
If you ever find a GE U6 or U7 Upright with tools, let me know. Been Looking forever! These were from the 1960's.
Thank You Chan

I would

love to have one of those General Electric uprights. They are so cool! One of our members Sean Curry has a nice collection of G.E. canisters and uprights. The uprights are so modern looking.

GE catalogue

Oh Awesome! I'm pretty sure we dont have anything like that right now, but you never know what will come in. I think the only soft bag uprights we have right now are some older Eureka F&G uprights, 2 Sanitaires, and a handful of Orecks, old and new. If one ever comes in I will make sure to set it aside for you. ^__^
