The Haul.....

Oh my goodness! What can I say, Jimmy has a TON of stuff...words (or photos) can’t begin to scratch the surface! I basically stood in there staring in awe!! Jimmy is such awesome host and a valuable wealth of knowledge!! I can’t thank him enough! I’m loaded down with vacuums, parts, hoses, bags, etc! Very VERY reasonable prices, and of course amazing bbq! While Ridgewood was too busy, I tried another one and was extremely impressed! Anyway, enough talk, time for photos!!!

Hello Steve,Goodbye Vacs,

As above Steve came with a truck and took about ONE PER CENT of what is here.Vacs going to a new home were as old as a 'coffee can'Hoover and as new as Rainbow E and a Dyson.Also some parts vacs and parts such as correct color hoses for many different Elux.We started at new location and after plan B on lunch continued at the old.Note-the above pictures show some of what is moved to new but NONE of what is left at old.
Who will be next?!?

Clean outs

Hello rugsucker and All,
I am sorry to say the only vacuum I find of interest is the GE 111. I understand GE had also made a Model 111-A with a light, this I have never seen pictured nor in person.
I have had to clean out 2 shops for their owners and most machines went in the big dumpsters this was before the Internet and eBay.
I have repaired a number of the machines I see you have and a number of them I really hated working on.
About 40 years ago took 20 of mine to the dump which left me with 4 vacuums and now I am back up to about 28 or so.
I even sort of stupidly just bought a Hoover Baby Model 103 and a Hoover 105. Not really sure why I thought I had to have them.
Good luck to you and good luck to all you haulers,
Pete

Would love to make a trip up Monday Sept 3rd to get those Lightning nozzles and hose, and some Other goodies, Would this be possible? If so let me know and I will give you a call, so we can figure something out.
Thanks so much! -Payton

Jimmy,
In Steve's second set of photos pic #6 there are 2 turquoise airway rugmaster nozzles. One chrome wand and one appears to have a painted wand. Can you tell me the story as to why one is painted?

Also does your chrome Fairfax nozzle have its label? I have one but the label is missing

Payton,

3rd is probably OK.Call 2-3 days ahead.Lightning parts are in at least 4 areas of the 2 buildings.Will try to group them together as I will be doing with other brands/models.
Phillip,
"-why is one painted?"--Because it is the rare,FIRST of this style.
"-Fairfax--label-"--Should be at least good/very good.Will take a closer look.

Payton,

Sad,tragic news.Both Ridgewood and the other place where Steve and I had a great lunch will be closed Labor Day Mon 3rd.While this severely limits bar-b-q choices there are several other choices,some within easy walking distance downtown including a very good family owned Mexican,Italian,2 home cooking,etc.

I'm looking for early 500 series bags  nozzles handles, manuals black 505 belt lifter 508 belt lifter, handles cords etx.  If they have a d80 hose or d80 wheel cups.  Tradition attachments not so much handi Butler but rug rennovator hose attachments and hose.  


If it's possible pleadp let me know.

Hello Payton,goodbye vacs,

Payton made the easy drive over the mountain Mon and left with vacs as old as a Rexair and as new as a Dyson.
Who will be next?!

 

[rugsucker]

Phillip,

Took a closer look at Fairfax nozzle(it was hiding behind 3 Elux shampoo/polishers that need to go SOON)and it seems very low mileage.Lable 100% complete & good to very good,little wear on bumper,etc but have not plugged in at workbench.
