What machines are still available?

 

[compactelectra]

Actually

There are a ton of machines still available.  I am going through in stages and putting them up for sale.  I have to get three rooms down to one.  From this batch two are still available:


Eureka Mobile Aire


Eureka ESP


 


The rest in this batch are spoken for.  I am so glad they are going to folks that appreciate them.  I have (with some wonderful help from my friends) moved the collection to the unfinished part of the basement for temporary storage while I show the house.  It is getting shown about every other day so that is good.  Here are some sneak preview shots of machines that will go up for sale.  Some of these will be kept as my core collection.  Here are the uprights.  Some of these that will be available are Dial-A-Matics and that psychedelic green Hoover.  The original Electrolux upright (brand new with box) is still available.

 

[compactelectra]

Some

Canisters.  I will be selling the Royal tank with PN, the Nilfisk and the Montgomery Wards Brandywine canister with PN.  Also a Filtex and Super Chief.  Just have to find all the parts to go with them.  Yikes!  How did I accumulate so much stuff?  Tania and I will have to work out what we want to do about the Roll-Easy.

 

[compactelectra]

And the Luxes

I will keep a core of these machines, but I have a spare AF and will probably let the R and S go along with the thrift model.  Have to find all the parts for those as well.  This process is like a cosmic douche!

Now What Part of The Basement

Looks like without the vacuums.

Can I place dibbs on the gold Compact w/power nozzle?

 

[xraytech]

Fred,

In the picture of the room of uprights, is there any chance that you'd be selling the Hoover 1070?

Hello old friend-

-do you remember the places you've been?When you and your RollEasy were new some said you might not find a house to clean because you were 'entirely new and different.'But you did and you cleaned it well.You were often brought out of the closet with your attachments for DUSTING,FABRICS and CREVICES.But then you were forgotton and made to hold the light bulbs.One day the doorbell rang and a nice man brought in a big,heavy,shiny vacuum.When he turned it on the light shone under the closet door and you could feel the vibration from the floor.Then they didn't wany you any more.The man said he would take you away but you weren't worth much.Then it was off to the farm lands and past the big horse barn to the little barn next to the Kenmores left in the rain when there was none left to adore them.But you went inside.It wasn't lonely as there were many Hoovers including the very first Slimline and a remote switch hose for the 87 Constellation and Lewyts and Sunbeams and even a Convert-O-Vac that didn't quite know what it wanted to be.Then one Valentines weekend those people came through the ice and snow and when they saw you they knew that Freda Diamond designed and styled you to be 'the most beautiful vacuum cleaner in the world'.Then you went to TN and it was like a reunion with all the vacuums from the 50s.Then a home up north wanted a RollEasy but couldn't have one of their own and you were with all your GE brothers and sisters.You all had nice colors but you knew you were the prettiest.And then a chance to go to the big city with an entire family of vacs.Some were younger but they learned to respect their elders.Now some are leaving.They may work again but not full time.You may have a new home but it will not be the barn where you hear the Sears rusting outside your window and listen to the Westinghouse-"I'm an upright,I'm a canister'I'm an upright,I'm a canister"for once again it is time for a vacuum 'you never have to lift'.-Oh the places you will go!

HB canister

Too bad the HB is spoken for, that is an awesome machine. If that person changes their mind, let me know. Can someone post a video of a light look in action?

 

[luxluver]

Hoover Convertible

Hi, I'd be interested in the green Hoover next to the 1070. I'm not sure of the model number. If you would advise what you want for it. I would like to add this to my collection.

THANKS !!!!

Al

Love the Royal cannister...

LMK about the price & anything about the machine you can't tell from the pic, thx

 

[eurekaprince]

Isn't it cool to know that the two Eureka canisters shown on this thread have the identical upholstery nozzles and dusting brushes (though different colours) but were made about 20 years apart from each other?

By the way, where is "Tarantula Arms"? If it was close to me, I'd come and take both of those beautiful Eurekas!!!!
