Large Inventory of Vacuums for Sale

[caligula]

Just to let everybody know

As you've probably figured out by now, Nathan and I have repaired a friendship. The rift was the warehouse of old vacuum cleaners that I bought back in the spring of 06. I paid $350.00 for it sight unseen. but only got a few machines. Nathan and I haven't been in contact till today. He responded privately and we are now mending fences.

I'm sure you also know by the tone of the last few posts that Nathan has agreed to my suggestion and I now own a very coveted Electrolux model. That vacuum cleaner was introduced in 1962 for schools, hospitals and whatnot. My grandfather was the man responsible for cleaning all the buildings for Choate school in Wallingford, Connecticut. One day he brought this vacuum cleaner home so I could use it, but had to take it back to the school. I have wanted that model ever since.

Tonight I am one very happy man, dreams do come true!

My new Electrolux

Nathan, can you post a few pictures of this machine so our members can see it?

This really is a sweet vacuum cleaner. As I said earlier it was the only wet/dry Electrolux ever made. I also mentioned in another post that back in 1979 I contacted the corporate headquarters of Electrolux to ask about this machine and got a terse, "it didn't exist!" Then a few weeks later I got a letter from the president of the company, Charles Mckee. He answered a number of questions, told me it DID exist, and sent a copy of the instrucuion book.

So a major piece of my collection has been acquired.

Thank you Nathan, and God bless you!

Got that

Hi buddy:

When you get a chance to post a few pictures of the C-A for everybody to see it would be great. As for me, I located that picture, and saved it in my "favorites" section.

Do you plan to attend next years convention? it will be in Texas, the name of the city escapes me at the moment. It will be our 25th convention, it's called the "Rainbow Roundup!"

Once Ira and I set a date to fly out to Calif. to get my stuff, I will let you know, probably early next year.

You have no idea how happy I am that we are talking to each other. You were always my friend, and I'm sorry if my lack of comunication caused you to think we were not friends.

And let me state here, publically that I admire you for accepting responsibility, and helping to solve a problem.

Your buddy,
Alex Taber.

Not to change the subject, but your Compact's power head looks like a Rainbow's to me? I never seen a Compact with one of those.

Compact Powerheads

Basically all the older style powerheads like the ones pictured on the Compact and Tri-stars, are ones made by Eureka. Same with the first Rainbow/Rexairs. Eureka made a lot of powerheads for different machines. Compact, Eureka and Rainbow/Rexair just had their names put on the heads. All the older style heads use Eureka Parts--Motors, brush-rolls, belts and bushings.
