The Place of Which We Do Not Speak

Part vacuum warehouse/part Collyer bros memorial.After a moment of silence for the Collyer bros(you DO know their names!)Kevin has entered,after being cautioned to not try to look at everything at once in case his brain explodes,and is mostly speechless except for cries of "Add this to my pile!".---Hans,Call first,drive up second!---John,Hoover cans are being seen including burgundy Supremacy & Electronic 1000(French).---Hoover Innovation,So far more soft bag than hard cover.

thevacuumguy96 · Jun 30, 2012

Rugsucker,

I would be interested in a soft bag Hoover Innovation. As well as a few Bisons. Would you be willing to maybe ship them?

Goodbye Kevin,goodbye Eurekas,goodbye filter Queens,

goodbye Kenmore and MORE and Compact glitter atts,So Kevin came and saw and loaded and left,hopefully to return in near future.The weather was bad,100 plus,but finding and loading vacs was good!Don't worry,as he had 4 door car and not semi there is MORE.Some brands such as Lewyt,Sunbeam,Rexair were untouched as different people like different vacs.--Who will be next??---Hans,Hope you are still coming this week. You might want to know that one of the great once a year car shows will be Sat 8:30-5;00 in Johnson city.The host family has a near complete group of Rivieras 1963-Boattail and a couple of the better later as well as Olds Cutlass and buick GS.(all at or near 100 points)And much more comes in from all directions.Many will move to our weekly cruise-in for evening.

Jimmy-

I tried sending you an email but it bounced back to me. However,
i was wondering if you would be interested in selling one of your Hoover Sovereigns. I have been after one of those ever since my aunt threw hers away. Haha, i briefly remember using one, and i would love to have one for my collection. If you're not willing to sell one i completely understand, just let me know. Thanks so much
Kyle

too many vacs

Kyle,Good to hear from you.My customers often tell me "I saw someone else that has old vacs on TV".In the case of the Sovereign is is not one of but the one and only.I only recall seeing 2!First at a vac shop,now gone,that also had red/white FQ Princess in the mid 80s.Then found mine in load of tradeins from DTD dealer.I recall it was good and probably would sell.Also have at least one pack of original,genuine bags(type O?) but hoped for organising has not yet put it with vac.---Richard,Have AFs,yes.Willing to sell,yes.Good condition,not sure.Will try to check some soon.The AFs usually seem to be scratched/beat up.---Jimmy

Jimmy,
I would like to come up this weekend, I'll see if I can break away from life for a few hours.

rugsucker · Jul 6, 2012

John,

Sounds good.Always good to call 423-543-7900.I will be here 90% of time but will try to see above mentioned car show.Make a shopping list and drive car with biggest trunk!Be aware that canisters,hoses & power nozzles may be separated but can be found.--Jimmy

Electrolux Model AF

Hi Jimmy,

 

If you decide to part with Electrolux Model AF in your showroom, here is my contact information:

cell: 561-339-2039

email: [email protected]

 

My daily driver is a top of the line Miele Vacuum. I collect vintage Electrolux Vacuum cleaners. Electrolux used to be my vacuum of choice, but in my opinion, Electrolux (Aerus) has lost their market place. They have not made a decent vacuum since the Olympia model.

 

I look forward to hearing from you,

 

Richard

thevacuumguy96,One Innov is parts only,next I checked had crack on hood,have at least 2 more to look at.---Kyle,Removed Sovereign and am wiping off the dust of 'the place of which we do not speak',seems very good,may vacuum a rug,maybe pics.---Richard,the AF in showroom actualy has cordwinder problems.Have relatively few.One may be good.Any preference of early(no bumper on door) or later(,thin bumpers on door)?,Jimmy

bnsd60m9200 · Jul 10, 2012

jimmy have you had any luck with the parts from my "list" i called you with at the end of last week? i.e. golden j cord winder, original hose, kirby/hoover stuff?

Will Hemb

rugsucker · Jul 10, 2012

Will

Some progress.This will go faster as 100 degree temps drop.Found Golden J with what seems to be good plug,cord,winder but not removed as this area is stacked like firewood.Most hoses are Olympia and newer but there will be GJ also.-Jimmy

Electrolux Model AF

Good Morning Jim,

 

Hope all is well. If the Model AF in the showroom is in good cosmetic and mechanical condition, I am interested. I can deal with the cordwinder problems. I prefer the earlier version of the AF. The later version with the newer cordwinder would also be acceptable.

 

Have a great day and stay well. Wish I lived within easy driving distance. I bet there is a treasure trove hidden in the "place of which we do not speak."

 

Richard

myvacsrock · Jul 11, 2012

Thanks Jimmy

Just let me know when you're ready to sell it

Thanks again.
Kyle

thevacuumguy96 · Jul 16, 2012

Jimmy, I haven't called you about the Bisons or Innovation yet because I might buy a Bison from someone else. I would still be interested in the Innovation though. Does the innovation have a good working motor? Please let me know! Thanks!

rugsucker · Jul 17, 2012

Bison-Innovation

As I said there are very few Bisons and they all seem to have at least one problem of cord,handle grip,broken lens,etc unless I see a LOT of US currency and might be able to remember if there is a brand new unused green bison in the BOX!!!As for Innovations there is 1 standard hard case(parts only)1 hard case with cordwinder(good,may keep)maybe 4 soft bag(1 broken handle grip,1 badly broken base cover,2 with good motors that should make 1 really nice one.So some progress on vintage in between running store for modern. Call anytime as I work & live in same downtown building.If you have any connections with anyone looking for road trip bring big truck,small amount of $$.--Jimmy 423-543-7900

updates

In between trying to make a living with modern vacs I have some progress with vintage--Richard,Found 3 AFs upstairs.All with small bumper on door,all 'good' but all with at least small problem areas.--Will, Have winder with good plug,cord and spring as well as 4 gold hoses.--A Grubb,The Eureka you hoped would be 980 and I thought might be,IS!Have blue hose & looking for blue atts.--Call anytime if questions.423-543-7900---Jimmy
