WAREHOUSE! bottom layer & corners

[rugsucker]

Hoover Convertibles???

YES!!!
They have gone from hundreds to dozens.Both metal & plastic base still in warehouse with many original bags & parts in various conditions.Better metal base moved to store for future EBay.

Convertibles

Those are some of my favorite machines! Would it be asking to much to see some pictures of the ones you still have?

 

[DesertTortoise]

Jimmy, is there anything for old Kenmores? I really need some items for the Avocado Bomber and a couple other older 1970's to 1980's Kenmores.

 

[DesertTortoise]

Jimmy, when I send an e-mail to the address in your profile it is returned as undeliverable and now when I call your phone number it says your number "cannto be reached". How do we contact you? Thanks.

Sears

Some scrapped but now saving with you in mind.I do have a 5023 style with variable speed dial but separated from hose at least for now.Will have better inventory when warehouse is empty(I hope).

 

[DesertTortoise]

Thank you sir!

 

[DesertTortoise]

A 5023 bag style Kenmore with a variable speed dial sounds tantalizingly like an early 1980s 4.1 on the burly ivory colored plastic body. On/off is on the hose, not the vacuum body so the hose for it is critical. Oh man, to me it is one of the best vacs Kenmore made. We have my parents, 32 years and absolutely trouble free. Easy to fit modern filter materials to. Great vacs. Fingers and toes crossed

 

[vintagevaclover]

Id still love to see some of the convertibles. Especially from the '80s & the '60s.

 

[DesertTortoise]

Don't forget those 5023/5033 bag adapters Jimmy. Still need at least one for the Avocado Bomber. Sure hope there are some in there. Thanks.

 

[DesertTortoise]

Wondering how the clean out is coming? Ever see any of those infamous red bag adapters for Kenmore 5023/5033 bags?

5023 bag adapter

Almost done but NOT done.Saw another bag adapt today.Should be total of 3.Trying to group same brand kept parts together.No time to think about shipping until later.

 

[DesertTortoise]

Thanks. No worries, just checking in.

James,

Have had little or any time to take EBay items to Jean.But expect warehouse to be 100% empty this weekend and then return to some degree of normal.Kiry parts will be near but not at the top of list to do then.

 

[DesertTortoise]

Hi Jimmy, don't eBay those Kenmore parts or that vac you mentioned! Pleeeeeezzzz.

 

[DesertTortoise]

Jimmy, when I call the number on your original post I hear a recording that says "the number you are trying to reach is not available - tts 6180"

Still wondering how the clean out is coming and what will happen to the old Kenmore stuff in there. Thanks.

 

[mradtman]

Hey jimmy I called but could get through, I'll send the MO tomorrow like I said for the bison call me when you get some downtime 312-505-8735
Thanks
Den

 

[DesertTortoise]

I eventually got through. Have to be patient but it's tough when you know there are still some cool old vacuums and valuable parts lurking out there that you don't want to see slip away.

Warehouse Empty

Warehouse is empty and trying to get back to some part of normal.Much trashed and scrapped but much,maybe too much!,saved.Would now like to reduce contents of store!More later.
Den,Like the T-Bird.I lost count at 40 down the street from me 3 weeks ago when a T-Bird club visited during the weekly Sat night cruise in.
As you both found if my semi antique cell phone does not work,keep trying.

 

[super-sweeper]

Jimmy, we all know I'm the one with the antique phones here! 

 


P.S- where you able to save me a 1979 Tradition nozzle? 

 

[mradtman]

Haha that's ok jimmy I kept trying!!! And thank you! Last year of the tbird it's the 2005 50th anniversary one day I'll take a ride down and you can see it!!

 

[doyle_vac-it]

I am looking for bags for a Doyle Vac-it, circa 1950s as shown here, thank you!

 

[tolivac]

How about pictures of the motor discharge opening and the bag intake connectors.This would be an external filter vacuum like a Tornado or NSS Bronco.

 

[vintagevaclover]

Do you have this GE upright?

 

[rugsucker]

Q & A

Doyle bag?
No,but I have Doyle and other interesting old commercial vacs(Invincible,Kent Elux CB & MORE) that need to be in a storage unit clearance when the nightmare of the warehouse fades a bit and operating the vac store,selling vintage EBay vacs and more,having 1000 plus books at one antique mall and furniture,art and more at another antique mall and holidays and hoping to have some slight chance of a life allows.
Do I have this GE upright?
YES with attachment adapter.Do you have the amount of US currency that one of the rarely seen ones brought on EBay?(It is currently pushed in corner behind older uprights.)

 

[vintagevaclover]

I've never seen one for sale lol

 

[thevacuumguy96]

Jimmy,

Jimmy do you have an outer bag for an airway chief? Or any sanitaires?

 

[rugsucker]

Q & A

AirWay outer bag--not likely but I do have boxes of older parts to sort.Might be 3 months or 3 years depending other other problems.
Sanitaire--No vacs,only odd parts or maybe bags.

 

[thevacuumguy96]

Okay. thanks anyways. Do you have any commercial vacuums?

 

[rugsucker]

Commercial Vacs

Yes!!Older gray Eureka and Elux comm automatic uprights that are in line for EBay.Some 913 & Convertible style Hoovers(possibly spoken for).Many canisters including Elux CBs,Eureka with tall handle at back,small-medium-large Invincibles,Doyle.Clark and MORE.
