Vintage eBay thread #1

His name is Kenny.  He's a really nice guy, used to be a member of the club.  He was at the Louisville convention in 2002.  That's the last time I saw him. He does sell some very nice machines; I've purchased a handfull from him over the years.


 


That model 33 looks really nice; the bag doesn't look to be very faded, if at all.  Usually those model 33 bags turn to sort-of a greyish-purple color.  That one looks to be nice and vibrant, still.

I have it on good authority that's the "Agnes Moorhead" model. Perhaps Endora enchanted this bag to stay vibrant.

 

[brandon_w_t]

Indeed it is! Fred Nelson can tell you the WHOLE history of that machine!

That 33 on ebay is very nice! I was blessed to come by a beautiful mint 33 from my friend in town.

It now resides in a proper Hoover home

Anyone see the Janitronic on ebay?

 

[brandon_w_t]

WOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fred, that is simply stunning! So crisp and clean! How on earth did you find that?

 

[vac-o-matic]

Uh...

My birthday is coming up....just sayin'!

 

[alexb1186]

Fred, you have that Bison in the Melmac category?  Was that intentional?

 

[compactelectra]

Alex

Just not experienced in Ebay listings.  Where should it be?

 

[lunchboxsean]

That is the most amazing vacuum I have ever seen!! Expect that one to sell in the stratosphere somewhere.

Janitronic

Janitronic?

You mean this one?

The same seller has a Bison for sale (no where near the vacuum that Fred has listed of course).

Don't forget my Flame Orange Hoover 4095 ends promptly at 9:45pm central time tonight, I know some of you have to be among the 20 watchers on it.

[briankirbyclass]

WOW,,ive never seen a Janitronic like that before,,how cool is that!
Only problem is, good luck finding replacement parts, especially brush rolls.
Have heard that the belt is nearly impossible to change on these, since the rug nozzle is NOT removable,like it is on a regular Kirby.

1986 Royal 618

Here is the very first wide-track Royal Commercial upright ever: a model 618, dated December 1985 (serial #L85A005228).

The current bag is sourced from either the model 880 (if after July 1986) or the 884, and the Adjust-O-Rite is sourced from a 1993-2002 dark blue trim metal Royal (885, 886, 994, 995, 996, 2025, 2028, 2075, 2078).

Convertible Special 33

I placed bid; but reserve price still not met.

That Convertible looks just like mine! Good thing I still have it.

Anyone looking for a decent GE swivel top? I found this one while wandering eBay. Why the heck would you list a vintage vacuum under large appliances when there is a vintage vacuum section?

I recently asked about that 880. It is serial #67A-B-100393, which translates to a January 1976 date of manufacture.

[kirbyclassiciii]

Sorry

Please delete my last reply. I meant to say that this 1976 Royal 880's serial number is #67A-B-100939 (January 1976).
