Greg, I'd never seen that CVI brochure before! I love it. Those systems have barely changed at all.

PICTURES OF MY CENTRAL VACUUMS!

This was asked for in the vintage forum, but I feel it needs to be here because of the mix of old and new. There are also some pictures of my vacuum storeroom! Enjoy! Greg

Picture #2

What's on the wall and in use today. An Allegro unit from Canada. Quiet, cloth inverted filter. Nice, but basic...I think it's getting changed out soon!

Pic #3

More! Nutone 350 in "Hawthorne Red", Ultra Aircare-private label Vacumaid 2 piece, 70's VacuMaid 125, 2 Electrolux 1590's and another red stunner, Cyclovac E100. The Cyclovac uses big poly bags similar to a Miele. Super quiet and a real favorite.

More and more! All VacuMaid. H-1, bagged unit, 1200 dirt canister which goes with a 350 unit. Motors in a seperate pod, and the Intervac is another private label VacuMaid.

Maybe unrelated....but does anyone have any scans of 1980's central vac product info? I remember one of my grandfather's was a home builder and used to get magazines that always had ads for Nutone central vacs. I loved looking at those ads but sadly, never thought to keep one!

Here you go.  This is a catalog from '92.  I liked the Nutone attachments (good Eureka) but not those power units.  Too weak.  They were definitely builder's units.  This catalog was a bit later, but still had great hoses and the Eureka power nozzle.  Front cover.

Love that low voltage on-off switch at the end of the handle.  Works with all universal inlets.  Makes all the difference in the world not having to run back to the inlet to shut it off.  Like I said, I have two of these hoses, one 30 ft and one 40 ft.  Use these with all different attachment sets.

They had a neat molded carrying caddy for the tools and the great Eureka power nozzle with an electric hose back in the 70s - way ahead of its time.  I also had a couple of the built-in food centers.  Not top quality, but fun for margaritas!
