Tristan!

Excellent restore on all of them. I'm all HOOVER, but, I appreciate your skills there. I have a cousin named Tristan, not vey common, like John, lolol.
Do try to become a full member.
I think you need a nice gold Anniversary floor polisher, and I'm selling one. It's a "LUX", currently a "Cellar Dweller"... came out of a convent! Long story......
John.
 
John is the most common first name here in the UK!

An Electrolux in a convent ? That is a Sin to have such a brand in such a place John, how unholy of you and you almost being a Priest and all, you should be ashamed!
 
Tristan, Welcome Aboard

You will have such a great time getting to know other collectors as well as their appreciation for what you have, have found and helping to look for !
I bill my self as a Lux/Kirby must have guy. But I will say, so glad to see you have a couple of Eurekas.
I have grown to love Lux uprights with electric hoses for the sidekick to do carpet steps and cars. I know you probably think of lux as a power nozzle cannister. Get an upright in your collection, especially if you have no desire for
the other traditional uprights of Hoovers and Kirbys.
I dare say you will soon be playing with and fixing up any and every brand and model that comes your way ! LOL !

Enjoy, so glad your here, with the rest of we collectors. After all we could be collecting cars, radios, camera's, telephones, small appliances, in addition to Vacuums ! Oh Don't forget Automatic Washers and Matching Dryers, Now those are a chore. you just can't pick them up at the Good will and throw them in the car, right?

John, Thanks again for the feedback, I am trying to push hard for membership! Love to know more about your lux up for grabs!

Norm, Thank you for the wisdom I have an Electrolux Discovery II, that I dont have pictured but will show u and have the accesory kit, again 6.99 at the goodwill lol no I am not a paid spokesperson for goodwill. I have owned a 63' Chevrolet Biscayne and a 76' Coupe DeVille, I have a passion for anything vintage but it seems like Lux's are a lil more practital (not to mention cheaper.) My first washer and dryer was a Maytag not sure of the model number but they where gold and from the 70's and loved them dearly. I am not sure why at the age of 27 I have such a passion for things from those era's but I do. I also have a Tristar I just aquired and love it as well.

Tristen, that model E is spectactcular. Would five anything to find one in great condition like that one.
 
That is give anything.
Don't drop you iPad everyone.. Costing me 219 bucks to get my screen replaced on tues.. I am really pissed at myself.
 
Thanks Mike

Thanks Mike, I need to Replace the cord on it but it is one of my favorites in the ones I have simply for the styling
 
I love your lux collection! Especially your model E, XXX(30), and Silverado! They look great. Nice work! I like your Eureka's as well. Do you know what year the brown Eureka upright is?


Thanks
Daniel :-)
 
Daniel

Thanks those are a few of my fav's too, I'm not sure the year on the brown upright. I actually had it listed on eBay then decided to keep it! I also have another eureka not listed that is a upright it's red with the cord-a-way attachment and has two speed settings.
 
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*

Eurekaprince Brian :-)
 
Thanks Brian!

Well Brian lets jus say "That ol side" of me likes things that match! And anyone who would like to donate anything I am open to it lol jk! Ok no im not but I am very interested in learning more about all Vac's and how to work on them so anyone willing to help I am open to it!

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.
