Vacuum Palooza

We had a blast today at the Vacuum Palooza. I rode with Tyler AKA Gsohoover, and we left with a car full of treasures. Many thanks to Father Bruce for inviting us and sharing his machines with us. Here are the machines I got.

What's left?

I saw this post a few weeks ago, but I forgot about it until I just looked at it again. I don't look on here very often lately. I mostly like canisters, such as Electrolux, kenmore, rainbow, etc, but some uprights too. Just wondered what was left over, and how long you have to get rid of them, or if you already did. I live 100 miles east of Memphis in Mcnairy County, but I grew up in Bartlett. If there's anything I really wanted I might could arrange to come, but not positive. Let me know if anything is still available. By the way... Happy birthday, Tom G. Hope it was a good one.... Looks like it.

compact

If you ever want to sell the compact please let me know. Thank you

I grabbed the Automatic E and the Compact for the two guys who were asking about them. I have the ability to pack and ship. Send me an email guys. The rest of the vacuums, the many that are left, are being brought to St. James to be given away at the vacuum cleaner convention, the second weekend in June at the vacuum cleaner museum.

birthday

Happy birthday Tom, was it May 20? That's my dad's brithday as well. If I could have driven, I would have been there for sure, unfortunately, being blind, that's not possible, at least not until the self driving cars become available. Since I'm not a fan of uprights, the canisters would have been my interest, probably the Electrolux and airway models. There's a particular Ametek motor that was used on many vacuums from the 1950's through the 1970's by many manufacturers, I would love to find a vacuum that uses that motor, very nice sound. Have all the vacuums gotten new homes? If you have any canisters left and are willing to ship, I may be interested.

Thanks Mike. Yes, it was May 20. That is also Cher's birthday. Can you believe she's 103? Anyway, I have a Compact for you, which I will give you at the convention, with the motor that you love in it. Father Bruce had two of them.

 

[n0oxy]

awesome!

Thanks Tom, is it in good shape and can you still get bags for those? Can't wait for the convention, only two weeks away!

Huge thank you

To Father Bruce for doing this. I had a wonderful time. It was nice seeing Tom G.and Michael B. as well, we all chatted about vacuums and got to see Father Bruce's beautiful Model XII, that was a real treat. I'm glad these have found forever homes. I learned alot and had a great time. I also want to thank Clayton and his dad David for opening up their home to me. Clayton and I had a great time and I can't wait to get together again. Clayton has a great collection of TVs, Vacs, and Toilets. He also got some great stuff from the sale too!


Thank You again everyone and hope to see and meet others soon.

Mike, almost any vac shop will stock the Compact/Tristar bag.

hose end

What hose end was used on those compacts? Was it the standard hose end or the end that Tristar now uses? I wonder when this particular compact was made. This motor has a very nice pleasant sound to it, very similar to the Electrolux G or 1205. I can see why so many manufacturers used it.
Mike

 

[vacuumlad1650]

Standard friction fit hose and. If it has a power nozzle it's the standard and with the wand pick button.
It utilizes a dual stage Lamb-Ametek motor...very different from an Electrolux G or 1205.

Excuse the Typing Errors...wand End* and want lock* button.

[dysonman1]

I have a model C6 for you Mike. It has the motor you love in it, the sound you like, and a standard friction fit hose end. It fits the volt power nozzle perfectly. Disposable bags are still very common.

 

[n0oxy]

thanks Tom!

I can't wait to see this compact! Just wondering, any idea when it was made? When did compact or tristar start using the odd shaped hose end, was that when Aerus bought them? Man, I'm drooling over that compact already. I've also thought about trying to find an Airway from that time period, did Airways use a standard hose end? I know the Electrolux motor that was used in the Electrolux G and 1205 was completely different, but the sound and pitch of the Electrolux motor reminds me of that Ametek motor, what a contrast compared to all the jet screaming motors that vacuums use now.

Mike

The Compact I brought for your from Fr. Bruce's Vacuum Palooza was made in the mid 1960's. It's a model C6. You'll love the motor sound. It uses standard hose end, they didn't go to non-standard until Electrolux bought them in the late 1990's.

The Air-Ways of the 1970's have the wonderful Ametek motor and use standard 1 1/4 inch hose ends too. Both machines will fit your Volt and you'll love using them.

Convention is only 2 weeks away now - so excited. Don't know how I'll fit 60 people (confirmed coming) into my house for a cocktail party?

 

[n0oxy]

very excited too

Yes, can't wait for the convention, if I can ever find an airway from that time period, I will probably get it as well, they just don't make them like that anymore. Hopefully that compact will be just as happy in its new home as the three vacuums I broght home last year. Perhaps I'll be able to get some other canisters as well.
