Lifetime Enthusiast, Reviving Collection!

[MikeyVacs1985]

Hello, vacuum world. I am a lifelong vacuum enthusiast who is looking to revive my collection. So far, I have a 1955 Air-Way Model 66 on the way, as well as a 1970’s (?) POW-R-Vac. I’ve also expressed interest in a 40’s Hoover upright I’ve been interested in for awhile. Where is a good place to find a Singer from the 1930’s? I had an R-2 that I let get away unfortunately. Thanks!

Welcome to the forum! Contact Dysonman1, Tom Gasko, he may be able to help you obtain a Singer or have a good lead on someone who does.

Welcome aboard Mikey! The 66 Air-Way is a good choice, I have one too! And so are the Hoover uprights, I'm assuming you are looking into a 26, 27, 28, 60, or 61, all good choices. I would also recommend a Lux XXX, Hoover Constellation, a Royal, and a Kirby to help round out your collection. I agree with Kirbylux that Tom Gasko might be able to help you find the Singer that you want.

The hoover constellation is such a cool vacuum.

Thanks! My first acquisition to restart my collection is a solid 1938 Hoover Model 26. I’m currently searching out a qualified repair person near Philly, as it needs a belt, a cord, and to have the motor looked-over.
