[crazykirbydude]

Ah, ok. I'll use a different phone, as mine is not working correctly. Would it be possible to come down in May?

 

[crazykirbydude]

What month do you want everything gone by? I might be able to come down during April or May and pick up 10-20 vacuums. I also have a budget of $100. I will attach a list of wanted vacuums. An asterisk means that it is one that I really want. I would appreciate it if you could get back with me on how many of these I could get for $100 or so.

*Royal Metal upright (any model)
*Compact C8 or C9 with Power Nozzle

I forgot to mention that I'm not picky when it comes to condition or completeness. As long as the motor runs and it is functional or can be made functional with minor repairs, I'm happy. I don't mind aftermarket hoses, bags, cords, etc.

I have a few newer vacs that I'm looking for and forgot to mention.
Very BOL Hoover Elite or Runabout
Hoover Quik-Broom
Eureka SmartVac

Adin,

Quick Broom-Using E,F,G bags-Yes.90s-I hope not.Maybe fans for 90s version.
Smart Vac-Probably not,but bags & filters for many models.
What I do have are things you may have never seen or heard of.If you make the easy drive you might learn more in 1 day than 1 year of internet,dept stores,average vac stores,etc.(Not bragging,just facts.)With longer days it will GO faster & faster until GONE!

If it's not too much trouble, would you mind taking pics of some of the machines I've mentioned? There's a collector in Indiana selling some vacs too and I'm trying to decide if I want to go to Tennessee or Indiana. You have some really cool stuff, but the other guy has some cool stuff too. I would like to make sure that you'll have what I'm looking for? I really want a Kirby DS80, Kirby G3, coffee can Hoover, F&G Eureka, Royal metal upright, Electrolux AE, AF, R, S, G, or L, and a style U Electrolux upright. These are vacs that I've been looking for and I'd like to find at least 3 of them. I would like to have a Compact with PN, BOL Hoover Elite, Eureka Roto-Matic, and another Electrolux Model XXX, but I won't be heartbroken if you don't have those. I'm not picky on completeness or condition.

 

[crazykirbydude]

My dad has a huge Honda Pilot, so I have the capacity to take 15 or so machines. Would it be possible for you to hold on to some until I can get them? If you don't, I completely understand.

 

[rugsucker]

"--TN or IN--"

Adin,
Might be good if you could do both.Those are great vacs in pics above from IN(if not already sold).I see a rare Bissell Trio that should have floor nozzle(I have 1 but no nozzle)There is a better selection of F-G Eurekas(a great,classic UR),Elux UR(I do have plastic tool caddy & electric hose,etc for Elux UR) & Dirt Devil than I have.And there is MUCH here.You need to call me at 423-268-4841.

NOTICE!!

Here in my Mayberry like town I walk across the street from my old shop to a great library(in the 1935 Post Office building)and use their computer and read their paper.This keeps my life simpler UNTIL they decide to close for the virus from 3-18 until ???.I also have not bothered to fix my laptop.SO any vac questions or arrangements for payment & shipping or to schedule visits can be made by phone at 423-268-4841.(It is off at some point in evenings & back on next morning.)

Jimmy,

I’m looking for an Electrolux pigtail electric hose to use with my model G in the newer rubber. Also a tool caddy for an Electrolux XXX as my Grandmother never bought that but I’d like to have one for it now as I use attachments a lot...and finally an Electrolux or Aerus wall mount tool caddy usually used for the central systems. I’d pay the purchase and shipping for these of course.

Old Hoover Commercial Vacuums

By any chance, do you have any old Hoover Commercial Vacuums (with the big rubber bumper on them) with pictures by any chance?!?!? And, do you have any N.O.S. Kirby trim parts? Thank you!!!

 

[crazykirbydude]

I'm kind of bummed that I have to wait until this Coronavirus thing dies down so I can come get some vacuums.

 

[lesinutah]

But

You get to go to vacuum land. I know you may be anxious but I'm in no situation to go.
Patience my young padiwan patience.

Kirby and Eureka?

Jimmy,
I was curious if there were any green, maroon, or dark red Kirbys left? I'm a new vacuum guy and I'm not super good on model numbers just yet - but I know what I like! I saw the DS80 - I believe? - in one of your pics and I didn't know Kirby did any colors besides blue, red, and tan!
I'm also super interested in your Eurekas, I love the mid-century Eureka models and wanted to know if you had any green models or bags from the 50's to late 70's?
Any information you or anyone has on these would be wonderful.

Thanks,
Jim

 

[regularrett69]

When you come back...

Could you tell me if you have any 90's and early 2000's Dirt Devils? Will you ship? Could you send some pictures if so?

Thanks, Rett
