I have many vintage vacuums for sale. I have been a Vac. & Sew. Tech. for the past 20 years, so many parts for so many vac's I can not list. You may ask if I have, And I do have. Make a list and I will tell you yes or no. I was a Kirby Tech. for 15 years, so many vac's and parts I need to get rid of. PLEASE email me I hate to take them to the scrap yard. Hopester

Will sell this lot including the Spencer Turbine Jr. You will not find another Turbine Jr. out there any were. If you do it's this one. Help me, and I will help you. I need to pay my storage fees.

Kenmore & Singer Twin-Fan Parts....

Hopester, just wondering, by any chance do you have any brushrolls in good used condition for the Singer & Kenmore Twin Fan uprights? And 3 way (OFF, LOW, HIGH) power switches? Cloth outer bag that take F&G style paper bags? Trying to get some spare parts for my Twin Fan I have now, as I want to keep it running a long time.

Please let me know here what you have....Rob

Yes to all three Rob, it might take me about a week maybe less to find every thing. I have worked the last 20 years as a vac & sew tech. and as of last year my boss pased away and the shop sold, so since then i've lost my home, car, truck and am preaty much homeless and jobless. Every thing is in the backyard of were i am staying, but i have to move it all in a week so i will look for your parts. P.S. hear is a photo of what i have to deal with right now, I'm lousing my mind. Hope

Hopester, thanks for letting me know! Please use my email address listed in my profile to contact me when you find the parts....we will talk there & make arrangements. Oh, and just so you know when you are looking, the brushroll I am looking for has two rows of brushes & has SQUARE metal endcaps....this is not the earlier brushroll which had 1 set of brushes & 1 beater bar & rounded endcaps.

Best of luck to you in your situation. I have been thru some difficult times myself in my life, so I can relate. Here's to hoping you get back on your feet soon.

hard times..........

"last year my boss pased away and the shop sold, so since then i've lost my home, car, truck and am preaty much homeless and jobless."

Its so sad to keep hearing storys of others on VacuumLand.org that are having really tough times..! Wish i had some good news or fortune to spread.
One thing I'm trying to wrap my head around is what the Blazing Whatever has happened to our Manufacturing base in North America.?

It's nice to hear your words, I feel for anyone who has lost a job. I was raised in 32 foster homes & institutions and have been on my own since I was 14. In over 20 years of running my shop at home and running a Kirky Service Center for 14 years and another vac shop. I've only takin 1 sick day off. I loved my work and the dirt, well it came with the job. Have not been sick for about 16 years. Peace Out every one, off to find more vac parts for you all. It's cooled down now. Hopester
