Is donating working machines an option?

I can’t help but see you are throwing away machines. Not sure if you have a Goodwill or Salvation Army or other thrift stores nearby. Often they will take working items even if they are old. I never see vacuums sitting around in thrift shops too long…they usually sell and might be an alternative option to dispose of some of this stuff. I get it though… it really is overwhelming. I was “given plenty three Electrolux canisters I didn’t want and a tub of parts and attachments I didn’t even want when I bought one Elux upright from a local collector. I finally was able to pass the items on to other collectors for the cost of shipping only but had to deal with getting boxes, packing paper, etc and then packing and shipping took some time. Hence I’m limiting myself and constantly downsizing to what I really want and will enjoy.

Well, hopefully you can donate some that work and make it an easy way to dispose of them.

You do realize he has 10s of thousands of vacs. He could donate half the state with vacuums and still have a metric @$$ ton.

I'd like to officially throw my hat into the ring...

And create a list as well. I apologize in advance, as it's pretty long.
Here goes:

Eureka 2070-D attachments, hose, and owner's manual

Eureka 613-A attachments, wands, and owner's manual

Electrolux 1401 super J floor head, dusting brush, crevice tool, and owner's manual.

Electrolux 1205 dusting brush clip, dusting brush, crevice tool and floor head

Electrolux G (early turquoise version) dusting brush and crevice tool

Hoover U-4423 outer bag

Kirby Classic III (2-CB) attachments, hose, shampooer, floor buffer, outer bag with EmTor, and owner's manual

Hoover brush vac (model S-1083) filters and belts

Wards 703 (hoover Helpmate rebrand) spare motor, filters, crevice tool, and owner's manual.

Hoover celebrity 4 deluxe (model S-3139) attachments, hose, owner's manual, and complete plastic top assembly with cord winder and tool holder

Hoover Celebrity 4 powermatic power nozzle (matching to S-3139) complete plastic housing, spare motor, and hose/plastic cuff assembly.

Hoover portapower (model S-1015-030) owner's manual, attachments, and wheel cart

Dirt devil model 103 owner's manual

Wards ESP cordaway upright with attachments and owner's manual (self propelled if possible).

Eureka ESP cordaway upright with owner's manual and attachments (self propelled if possible)

Kenmore progressive (model 116.22812201) owner's manual and pre-motor filters

Also, If you have any brochures or other literature for the Eureka Victory, or for the 1970's/80's Eureka and Hoover lineup that you'd like to sell, I'd be interested in those as well.


That's everything I can think of that I'm looking for at the moment. No rush on anything, and no big deal if you don't have it.
Thanks in advance,
Thatwasherguy.

Jon,

I'm very familiar with nearby thrift stores. My most recent purchase was all 7 seasons of Columbo. To donate a 1954 Lewyt or 70s Hoovers or 60s Shetlands would probably add one more step between me and the dumpster. At least with big red truck the metal is recycled.--Les, vacs may only be 100s but at my book store books are 1000s and this takes almost all my time.--Washerguy, I probably have most on your list. Very little time for vacs and not even close to looking at boxes of paper. Kirby stuff needs to go first. Are you close enough for trip here when parts are sorted by models?

 

[doratheexplorer]

Hey Jimmy,

You wouldn't happen to have any Eureka Bravo II style machines with headlights would you? If not, that's okay!

 

[rugsucker]

Bravo II ?

Probably not but might have a very few parts and original box with color pictures.

 

[thatwasherguy]

I'm only about 4 and a half hours away...

So yes, I should be able to make a trip whenever you're ready.
Thanks again,
Thatwasherguy.

Hey Jimmy,

Hope all is well.

Fyi, I discovered that the Brandywine Eureka in the ad is a Model-Type 676-A—sold at Kmart and other discount department stores.

I would also be interested in a Bicentennial Eureka upright with the Early American bag cover design and with a headlight. There are several models. Attached below is Eurekaboy's non-headlight Model 1414.

Update

I have less time than ever and need most vacs out of my building. We have started at the front door and anything in my way goes away. Most below are waiting for scrap guy or gone. Anyone wanting to visit or pay for packing and shipping it will soon be now or never.

 

[rugsucker]

And more

Had some time yesterday to move more to scrap pile and organize other things. Found more 60s-70s Kirby's that will go soon. Next to go out may be plastic base Convertibles. I am also finding NOS parts such as brushes,fans, attachments. If anyone is interested let me know.

 

[hoover300]

I will gladly pay shipping for the Elite(the old one) when you find it

 

[hoover300]

Possibly the Torrington C too if that is available?
Shipping and vac price of course

 

[rugsucker]

Hoover 300

Old, rare and nicer, complete will go later. Some have to go to find better ones.

Another day --

--another trash pile.

GE Power Head

Hello Good Sir!

I wish to inquire of the green GE power head in above photo for the 106766 canister. How is the overall condition of that nozz;e? Do rear wheels wobble or roll straight? Motor sound good? I just acquired one of those canisters. It's in ok shape but could use more TLC.

Do you have a hose for that unit too?

Thanks so much!

 

[rugsucker]

GE

nozzle-Looked very good.Will look out back and see if scrap metal guy got it last night.
hose-Haven't seen but will go if found.

 

[rugsucker]

Nozzle -

-was still there. Wheels look low mileage, brush looks new. Will try to test later.

 

[rugsucker]

GE nozzle -

-runs, good brush, bad belt&bulb.

 

[durango159]

Thank you very much! I'm interested!!

Do you have a price? Interested in shipping? Thanks!

What's the best way to make arrangements with you?
