kenkart,

I meant the Atlas Cadillac canister in candy apple red, not the much older upright Cadillac.
That's not the same Panasonic. Model 240 instead.
 
VacOMatic

Thank you for the post! I've tossed the idea around. Haven't settled yet. It a good price with shipping too. Just wasn't sure if I should make the push and get it! Or save the money. LOL Decisions, Decisions.
 
wish lists,

Nothing at the resale store last week but a Sanitaire blue upright for $5. Scratched up hood and probably needed a fan at least, if not a motor. The last ones were cheaply made. It already said by Electrojunx on it.
Today, only a lousy Dirt Devil zoom broom.
 
My dream machine (originally my parents vacuum which I still have it to this day) is a Electrolux 1205 with PN1 thanks to its turquoise with chrome accent
 
turquoise Lux,

My aunt had a new one back in 1964. I discovered it behind her sofa one day when I was four. I said AAwwwhh! where is the hose at? She said, that's a secret. I didn't even know what a power nozzle was then. My mom had a Eureka vibra beat.
 
Re Atlas....

I never heard of a Atlas that was called a Cadillac, I have a red one but the motor is shot, hopefully one day I will find one that runs good, I think it was called the Eldorado.
 
When I looked up Cadillac vacuums today-they make plastic heat seam welders and their "Quick-Vac"is a small ext filter wet-dry vacuum.I have an older Quick vac that has a sling,short hose,hand tools and a bag that goes onto a 10A motor unit.Direct air "hip" "canister" machine.That same motor is used on the present Quick vac.

My top wish list still to be found is the ABC Always Beauty Clean power nozzle for the Compact C4 C5 and C6. I have all three vacs, I just need one power nozzle for them to share.

1962 GE C-100 swivel top with power nozzle

Original grey Electrolux PN-1 power nozzle for my AF

A late 50s grey Kenmore Vanguard canister with the outlet port for its optional power nozzle. I already have the matching power nozzle.

And last but not least on the holy grail side of things, I want the very first Filter Queen power team from the 60s with its first whirlpool type power nozzle that was featured for Filter Queen before GE started making all the ones we all know from the 70s through the 90s.
 
Not sure....

I want any more vacs until everything here is restored. Tired of giving up $$$ on eBay. My idea of 'treasure' would be to find some vintage Lux canister still in the original box, extremely well cared for or never used. I know, like being hit by a meteor.....but I've seen pics of such finds!

Hope is a hard thing to let go of.....but then there's reality.
