The Vac shop clean out begins

Les,

To add to what I said in Reply 6 there is much here and if anyone wants vacs or parts there are 2 ways to get them--
--If you are within driving distance as a collector from Maryland was last week call and make the easy 4 lane drive.You would find not only vintage vacs but it could be a nice road trip or family vacation.I am in a historic downtown with great antique shops and food as well as a car show and live music on Sat nights.You would get my full attention and pick and choose whatever your vehicle would hold.Or--
--Call as a collector from Mich has and ask for parts in pics or other and after I get a reasonable price (minimum $5) I can take to UPS where you would pay all shipping,insurance and packing for larger items.I do not have time and supplies for packing.UPS does.I would take vacs to them with parts such as handles removed and explain any special handling.
(If anyone goes to Elizabethtown I don't know what you would find as I am in Elizabethton.)
 
Wow! I’m sure there is a New In Box Eureka vacuum somewhere in Jimmy’s Treasure Chest! I would need to drive all the way down Interstate 81 from Ontario to pick it up. I guess it’s a two day drive with a sleepover in Harrisberg PA. Might be a worthwhile trip for me! I’d have to get moving fast as I know the cleanout needs to be completed soon.
 
"it's a shame"--

--that my meaning was not understood.vacs here will go out of my building.The golden rotomatic Eureka with original hassock and attachments is too good for scrap or trash.It can wait for a reasonable offer or be part of my much smaller collections.Vacs here range from scrap, parts vacs,easy restoration, good and very good.If collectors have a need or want I am posting here as I hope I am "free to do".
 
Jimmy:
I understand about the store clean-out. I do that once a year for the Convention, and anything no one wants, goes out.

Will be nice to see your much smaller collection once all is moved.

Do you still have celebrity QS electronic? I might be interested in that one instead. If you have time and can get to it easily could you please post some pictures? Thanks
 
Tom,

You,more than some,would understand that in addition to being a collector having a vac store includes getting trade ins from DTD dealers,customer trades,abandoned repairs,etc some of which sell quickly,some trashed,some for NLA parts and the more interesting kept.After several years in one location this adds up.I now find as I group brands together many good and complete vacs,many for scrap and many in between.Most are available to collectors.For me a smaller collection would include 50s,60s canisters,Electrolux XXX,G & others,various Eureka F&G styles,Hoovers of different decades and a few others.Many could be complete including original boxes and bags.If you know serious Kirby collectors there is MUCH from 50s,60s,70s that MUST GO soon to make room to sort others.
Chris,
I have been mostly working in the front of the upstairs.When I move to the middle there will be many Hoovers including Celebrity.The Electronic is in the back room of new store and not easily found.

I have a blue one of those Quickdraw vacs. TERRIBLE hose design, no support and the hose sags down into a complete 180 degree bend that worsens over time. Very easy to clog.
