Some vintage hoses I never knew I had

[gsheen]

So I have this storeroom that I call the "Mess" It started all neat but as time went on it ended up in a huge mess as stuff was just dumped in.

So I am trying to clean it out now. There is one thing better than fining a part on ebay or were ever is finding parts you never knew you had.

I was going through some boxes and found these lovely hoses, Two ar for the Hoover 375 ( I know one is but the green black one looks slightly longer, Now I have 3 hoses for the Hoover and only one machine. I also found some 70's Electrolux Z1000 hoses

Hoover hoses

The green/black is for the 375, the brown one is for a 119 (US 115) or whatever your equivalent of that was.

The "inside" Lux hose is identical to that used on the Lux 100 and 330, possibly the 310 as well

hose ?

Probably OLDer Kirby with faded colors.Others will know more.

That last hose looks like it is for a Kirby 508

Will this fit a Kirby 506? I have one and then all I would need is a rubber handle, headlight trim and a new cord and it would be perfect.

Wow that 506 is beautiful! Had one when I was a kid. Gave it to my Aunt. Think she used it for over 20 years. Wish I had all the wonderful machines I gave away over the years.

Thanks, this one was given to me by a dear friend from Johannesburg. Its a great vacuum and the only Kirby I truly love. I would choose this or a similar model over a sentria anyday.
