Vacuum Shop Cleanout Tag Sale and Auction

But where will you put them all? TecVenture's only facility is the "Maker Station," a 50-ft. mobile-trailer classroom loaned to them by (and parked at) the Library. I just can't see them setting aside a significant part of that trailer to an exhibit of vintage vacuum cleaners, given all that takes place there.

I'm not meaning to belabor the point ... it's just that this all seems kinda odd somehow.

I don't want one, I was just letting you know that they are still available through Kirby.

Any dealer that can order from Kirby can get the 500505 brush for you.

I personally prefer the 2 row brush on my D50 and D80.

If you come across a Hoover Concept One Power Drive

from the late '70s or early '80s, I need the handle support piece. Mine cracked when it was being shipped to me back in January. If you could find one that would be great. Below is a picture of the part from a message thread I made back in January, and for the heck of it, I'll throw in the link to the thread.

They are not getting rid of all of them if you read closely what they're talking about.

"Clean out at Sweeper Shop"

Hello!

This is very interesting as we were there last year just before they had closed and tried to contact them with no response from anyone!
I had seen a couple machines I was interested in and would like to ask you about them if you know if they are still there.
Could you call me @ 414-421-5116 in early evening.

Thank You!

Airwaylady

"waste of vintage machines"

As above they will save much of what is in IN.
I have the SAME or SIMILAR HERE that I am trying NOT to waste.
For the collectors who have made the easy trip to TN (or paid shipping)---Thank You!I think you got a lot of good interesting,rare vacs at a good price.I hope you enjoy the vacs and the vacs enjoy cleaning their new home.There are other vacs and parts spoken for to be shipped as time allows.
There is MUCH more here that can not be kept for musuem setting.Some will be kept longer but if any are interested NOW is the time for the TN vacs & parts & hoses & atts & power nozzles!!!
More in warehouse threads,Jimmy

Contact

It was quite a challenge to get involved in this as the current owners (sons of the original owners)are incredibly busy folks. I pretty much had to do a stakeout on the building and catch people there to get involved. Airwaylady, I will give you a call tonight to answer any questions you may have!

I need the base for a hoover quadraflex powernozzle. Sold with dimension, spectrum, powermax and I think the high-end futura canisters too. a parts pn from either machine would work too, all I'd have to do is put my hood on.

 

[bikerray]

I just saw one of those power nozzles at Goodwill attached to a Hoover Celebrity ( the one that looks like a flying saucer on wheels).

 

[countryguy]

Why would they wire it so that the motor would not run if the bulb is burnt? Seems very inconvenient especially if the bulb burnt out while vacuuming. Also what does the normal/deep clean switch do? Is it just a low/high speed switch?

Thanks,
Gary

Please let me know if you still would like the inner handle support for the Hoover Concept, ive sent you a couple emails.

 

[stricklybojack]

i would like to purchase...

the Concept brush strips.

 

[DesertTortoise]

Any Kenmore canister vacuums and parts, particulary 1980's and early 1990's stuff. Cord winders, Type E vacuum bag adapters (the vacuum is uselss without the adapter and believe me I've tried), lids, hinges, hoses, switches, anything for those older Kenmore canisters.

electroluxs

what will you be asking a peice for the working machines?

 

[bvac6]

Electrolux

Once we are done sorting the good ones from the bad I will most likely ask 15 to 20 bucks a piece on them. There are some nice XXX, LX, and a stunningly clean 1205.

 

[DesertTortoise]

Still interested in any Kenmore vacs, Powermates and parts when they become available and any Lamb 5.7 inch through flow motors, including central vacuum motors, you want to part with. Just let me know. I hate to see stuff end up in the dumpster that could be used to revive a worthy old vacuum.

 

[gj9696]

Do you still have the hoover quadraflex strips?? If u do, I would love to have 8 strips for my concept 1 & 2. They're very hard to find and I'll be happy to pay shipping too. Thanks!
