The Vac shop clean out begins

Got your check for DD part. Was postmarked 3PM Aug 31 in UT and I got 10 minutes ago. Hope to go to post office tomorrow. Thanks

Jimmy,

Another thought would simply be to create an online store without going through eBay. It would still take time to photo everything; and your items would still need to be stored, but you could take the photos yourself and have someone else (i.e. teenager) create and maintain your webpage, which you could advertise on Vacuumland, Facebook, and Craigslist — to name some.

Just a thought.

I'm looking for royal/electro hygiene straight suction front and rear axle. I'm also looking for either a straight suction royal/hygiene or eureka front axles?

Is this something you could help me out with.
If so I'll call and get things rolling quickly thanks.

Also looking for an original 1950s modern hygiene hose and power switch.

So hopefully my questions can be answered.

Panasonicvac,

NOS DD filter went to USPS today to be delivered Fri which would be quicker than they moved your check.
Paul,
Great idea with the right person which I have not found after 10 plus attempts.Do any here know anyone who would sell 100s of items at a commission?Just today I have been to bank,city hall,post office and have to change Generation fan for long time customer and fill 40 plus feet of new shelf space at my antique mall booth which is mostly used,rare,out of print books but will add small chrome/vintage kitchen appliances and cookbooks.No extra time!Vac store needs to be empty.Should I wait for collectors who don't come or the scrap metal guys who will come?
Les,
I have had very few straight suction vacs and no separate parts.Probably nothing now.I think all MH and parts are gone.

Hi, do you have any Eureka 200 series parts machines with an intact headlamp lens? This is the lens I'm looking for. Thanks!

 

[rugsucker]

Eureka

I have a nice S-246 but it is different hood and one of the few I want to keep.

Jimmy

I have a vacuette electric. I don't have an axle. Do you have any axles that would fit a vacuette electric.
Les

 

[rugsucker]

"-axles-?"

Sorry,no.

 

[panasonicvac]

The filter came today, thanks Jimmy!

 

[rugsucker]

More vacs gone !

To repeat most vacs need to go out of my store. A scrap metal guy was here one hour after being called. Would any here even call within an hour of seeing what needs to go? I think Roy Clark once said - What a beautiful sight, smoke around the taillights, thank God and red truck they're gone.

Re: Reply #96

Jimmy,

The vacuum cleaner on the left in reply #95 is either a model S-250 or S-250-A (I'm unsure of the differences).

In case you're interested, here's the link to a YouTube video of the Model S-246.



Also, here's the link to VL thread 38104 that contains the 1950 users manual of the Model S-246:

Hey Jimmy
Here's the style eureka 1400 series I would like part doners for.
Btw any color will work as long as the hood and lens is the same shape as this 1.
Thanks.

 

[rugsucker]

Big red truck -

_comes back today. Probably taking Kirby,Elux CB and commercial vacs.

 

[rugsucker]

Paul,

Thanks for the information.That style Eureka is one of the few I want to keep.
Damien,
Most Eurekas that are left are more deluxe with different hood but I will look after Kirby accessories GO and I sort other brands.
Jimmy

 

[rugsucker]

A few Eurekas

Return of the big red truck

A great time with Jimmy in Elizabethton!

Dear all....I wanted to thank Jimmy for his hospitality and all the vacuums I got from him! There is a lot to see...so be ready to do some digging! For me, I got to find my favorite U7037 Hoover Commercial Uprights, Oreck canisters and old time Dirt Devil hand vacs. I wished I could have taken Kirby's, but hopefully next time. There are a lot of small head Kirby's as well as Kirby power drives, great Eureka F&G uprights (Easily 25 each) and tons more. If you have a chance, go down; it's a great time!

As much as I wanted to take a pilgrimage over there, being halfway across the country and working a stubborn job makes it very difficult.
By time I could go (like next year), everything would be gone. I would also feel compelled to fill up my truck without a place to put the stuff at home.

So Jimmy, since you mentioned you would ship, here is my vac parts Christmas list for projects I have that need completion:

All need to be as best quality as you may have (except for the old grey cloth bag).
The G5 stuff needs to be able to be cleaned up (I will do) and look almost new.

Let me know what you have and I will make it worth your time to look through your stock. I have liquidated a lot of vac parts and I know how time consuming it is.
Also I am not in a hurry, so take your time. We can talk later when you have a list of questions. I am willing to fill up a regular Kirby box.
Thank you...

G5 original hose (burgundy color ends)

G5 original cord (burgundy color)

G5 original nozzle bumper (burgundy color) (only if very good)

G5 zip brush (In box preferably) (burgundy color)

G5 turbo sander (In box preferably) (burgundy color)

G5 hard floor plate (this clips onto big floor nozzle, not G5 specific)

G5 owners manual book (service manual also if available)

G5 nozzle belt lifter decal (only if new)

Any old grey Kirby cloth bag with hanger top for 514 ('good usable' condition)

Grey or red square wide body emtor bottom for 514, good usable condition.

Classic III red bag ring (bag guard) (2)

Tradition blue emtor and bag assembly
Tradition blue cord

Heritage emtor and bag assy
Heritage II mini emtor and bag assy

505 style attachment set with box (less hose & couplers, which I have)

any NEW OEM motor bearings for new or old Kirbys?


Thank you!!

 

[rugsucker]

Larry,

Glad you could make the easy drive(&the shorter drive to Ridgewood Barbecue)and leave with a full SUV.Happy Hoovering!
Rob,
I have much G-5 but few small repair parts,no 505 and lots in between.Will start looking as time allows.
Jimmy

 

[texaskirbyguy]

Thanks Jimmy, no rush.
And I meant to say attachments that will FIT on a 505's hose couplers, red/gray color.
My 505 is not stock - it has all red trim. The grey bag I seek will go on it to replace its brown one.

 

[rugsucker]

Kirby attachments

I should have many gray & red attachments from the 50s.

Jimmy,

What model numbers are the periwinkle & scarlet Eureka F & Gs in Reply #106? Do they have their original bag jackets? Do you have others? Any tool sets? Any owner guides?

 

[rugsucker]

Paul,

Reply 106 serial number and bags,top to bottom --1940A,1489A,2087A, same --yes, no, no, yes torn at bottom. There is much literature in a box somewhere. Most of these should be easy to service/repair under the layer of dust. Other Eurekas were not ready for their close up.

 

[paul]

Thanks, Jimmy.

Do you have any other brandywine uprights (Model 2087 color) with a Rugulator (see ad - not sure of the model number)?

 

[rugsucker]

Yes-

-but with round height knob.Picture soon.

 

[paul]

Take your time. I won't be checking back till after Christmas.
