Little Look into my Lux Collection

[xraytech]

Very nice collection Tristan, all your vacs look to be in great shape. I cant believe you got them all at GoodWill and at such great low prices, around here all they have are Dirt Devils for like $30 a piece. You sure have done a great job cleaning up your vacuums.

Hi Tristan,

Wow, I'm overwhelmed with you restore them back to what they should be so well!! I love using Windex on mine. Anything not connected to a wire and I can separate from the machine, I put to soak in my laundry tub usually with some multi purpose disinfecting cleaner. Have not tried Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, I should. I've used Soft Scrub,scrub brush and aggressive sponges and although it takes out the scuff marks, I find a couple of spots where I rubbed too hard.

Definitely find yourself a Hoover. If you have luck at your Good Will with Electrolux then surely there must be some Hoovers coming in-- hopefully good ones, not a bagless or el cheapo model.

I have a couple of Hoovers but no vintage. Really excited and looking forward to landing myself a Celebrity or Guardsman power head canister and Decade 800 upright.

Welcome aboard!! I'm not a full paying member yet, but John, the "King of Hoover" could probably help you out.

Thanks Rob

Thanks Sam and Rob!
I have found a celebrity at goodwill once. But jus keeping my eye out for the right one. Thanks for your comments means a lot to have some approval from people like I have said before they have always been my dirty little secret and it's very refreshing to have good feedback. I also have a tristar I jus got from the 80's and I have a eureka upright with the cord away and two speed settings. But I am mainly a lux guy they never seem to let me down!

Tristan! Welcome to the nicest gang of cleaner-philes in the world!

Love your "Steve and Eydie" team of matching brown Eurekas! I love it when collectors get a matching duo of Eurekas.....

Your Electrolux line-up is indeed beautiful - now all you need is some Canadian Electroluxes made in my hometown of Montreal....anyone want to donate a nice red 88 Lux-0-Matic as a welcome gift to our new friend from Nashville? Wish I could, but alas, I only have room for my Electrolux UltraSilencer Green and my Hoover Tempo....*sigh*

@ Joel

You should post some photos of that Kirby D80 in your profile!  It looks like a very nice machine too!

You have a great looking Silverado too! I wish my Silverado looked that good, it's actually rather shabby looking, but it's my daily driver and runs like a champ! I recently acquired another Silverado in really good shape, but I've not had a chance to bring it home yet, or even really check it out good! I love these old machines though!

Tristan.....

Under the Louisville Craigslist there are 2 Electrolux Renaissance's.   I would love to get one of those but money is a bit scarce.


Check them out, I found them under electrolux I love those models!

Welcome Tristan!

Nice collection you have there, and excellent work you have done restoring them! I love Luxes too, and have 6 of them in my collection, including 2 XII's, 2 XXX's, an AE, and a G.
I'm sure you will find other machines you want, including a Hoover or two (or three or four). Vacuums have been known to multiply like rabbits once you start collecting.
The model 28 Hoover is one that all collectors should have. Here's mine.
