I have another inquiry in addition to the metal bodied Electrolux with hose, a floating hoover constellation preferably with the original hose and suction vent and a singer/Kenmore twin fan upright bottom plate for tool free belt change models that I inquired about, Do you have a headlight add on for a hoover model 700? If so how much?


Thank you once again.
 
Hi Jimmy,

Please keep me in mind if you run across a "Basement & Attic Key" for the Model LX. I recently purchased one for $10 off Craigslist!

Also, wish I would have had you change out the elbow on my Turbo Rug Washer. I thought I could get one at a local store here, but it turns out that he doesn't have the ivory one that I'm looking for to keep it original.

I know you're busy so don't expect immediate results--just keep me in mind and set the items aside if/when you find them.

Hope all is well.
 
Jimmy,

you're the only person in the country I know to call upon for such a replacement! I'm hoping you will still have what I need this late into your clean-out!


 


I need the head/nozzle of a 1979 Kirby Tradition if you still have one, I'm hoping it isn't too much of a bother to ship!


I can wait as long as you need me to allow, I know you are very busy at this time!


 


Thanks,


-Alex.
 
FINAL DAYS--visiting scrap yard daily!!

If you have mentioned something I have I have tried to move to main store and will ship or contact you later.
If any can visit there is much left but less every day.I will try for final pictures.These have become objects to remove from building even if they are still good or collectible.If it is plastic such as the Hoover Elites with nice cloth bags it goes across parking lot to dumpster!If metal a short trip to scrap yard.Then-drive on scales-go across lot-back up at usual site-unload-drive back across scales-get weight and type of metal and receive US currency from ATM in office-REPEAT.Both myself and scrap yard NO LONGER CARE if the metal is a stainless Elux CB tank,Hoover 450-700-825-etc,Premier UR,Royal UR,Doyle-Invincible-Spencer-Finnell or other commercial machine or??!!
To reveiw-I NO LONGER GIVE A XXXX!They are going,going,GOING!They can be in your collection if anyone can make the easy drive or your next Pepsi can.
There is a MOUNTAIN of Kirby boxes back to the red through 50s,60s & 70s.When I run out of space upstairs(SOON)they will fit in dumpster(emptied daily).
As the auctioneer says as he picks up the hammer-Anyone else?-Final warning-going,GONE,BAM!!
 
Jimmy, if you have Kenmore canister anything, and I mean anything, give the Desert Tortoise a call at 760.608.9281 or 760.939.1915 (work phone). Please don't dumpster anything for a Kenmore canister vacuum without calling me first. Thanks.
 
Makes me cry - look at all the Electrolux G's and so many others, wish I could afford to get there but not meant to be.
 
Hi,

<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;">Hi Jimmy, I tried e-mailing you but it keeps bouncing back to me. Is there another address I can get you on?</span>


<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;">Great pics by the way

final pictures

The end is near now that we can see portions of the floor!I may be able to save 3-5%but rest is dumpster or metal recycling.If you or any in your area can make a trip these items can be in your collection.Otherwise in your next Honda.
Note-Most pre Generation Kirby boxes are likely to have most or all of the original items(except vac).
No time to ship items not already discussed.Any are welcome to make personal visit as has been the case all along.

These photos really are mind-boggling and make me sad, because I know what you're going through.

Jimmy, I'll call you in a day or two, but meanwhile here's my wish list again. When I call we can talk about it.

warehouse vacs and parts

Many items mentioned above are among the saved and can be dealt with later.Some items such as extra long Elux hoses I have never had.
Just took pink GE swivel tops,chrome top Rainbows,Sears polishers that match Lady Kenmores, Eureka & other polishers(some with pads and brushes)and MORE to scrap yard.And now as it says on the shampoo bottle 'repeat'with Kirby parts and MORE.
 
In the 5th picture I see a hoover bag. Can I have another photo and a price? I also want 2 model Gs in good condition. No dents rust or motor noise. If you still have that bison then I'd like a price on that. And if you have and plastic Electrolux hoses in good condition. Could you post photos of the kirbys that you have left before you bring them to the dump? Thanks

warehouse vacs

Hoover with bag is in line for EBay as it is only model with handle release at hand grip.Better Gs will be saved.Bison will be saved for later.Few if any good Elux hoses.Better Kirbys already moved to main store.After rechecking 2 people that showed interest they can be yours or EBay.
 
Jimmy,


 


when you're ready, I would love an Aqua G or two and depending on models, one or more Kirby's. Just let me know.

Warehouse

This looks so interesting. I have always wanted to see a place full of old and vintage vacuums. Sadly this is to far for me to go right now. You have some nice machines from what I can tell.
 
Jimmy,

I'd like to add to my list:

1) teal-colored wheels for an aqua Model G

2) teal-colored rocker switch for an aqua Model G

3) replacement pull strings for Model B-8 shampoo tanks and Rug Washers (don't know if they're the same
length)

4) Manuals for TAN Model B-8 and Rug Washer
