Warehouse clean out-Losing Lease-Vacs WILL GO!!!

[rugsucker]

and HOSES and BAGS and PARTS and NOZZLES and---

After the above vacs left for new homes I was able to sort an area with boxes & boxes of various parts and reach second layers of vacs that were under first layers.As these boxes have started proving,just because you see a vac with no parts beside it does not mean they are not in the building!---Vacs are being set aside for people here and who call 423-297-6918 that will go across this country and Canada.I am grouping together vacs different people are interested in,will then check condition and agree on price and shipping.It does take some time as I still have to make living at main vac store.Among others today I have to find out why a late model deluxe Sears can will not turn on.If any of you or others in your region can made the easy trip(4 lane from I-81 to the street at my doorway)you are welcome to help and dig and select in person.Today is sunny and finally at least 60 degrees.---More after I attempt to make the Sears run.

Q & A

2011Hoover700-Elux and Connies are mostly untouched until more is moved out.Then will have you in mind for nice ones.
stricklybojack-I would like to keep 10% or less.Some nice,interesting & rare vacs to exchange for $ on EBay or other means and some as collection.Personal favorites include(but not limited to)certain uprights such as 30s-60s Kirby,Hoover,Eureka.Also some canisters including 50s-60s GE,Hoover,Sears.Most Elux products and some very early electrics.I have either worked for Elux or had store for around 30 years.Some were from flea mkt,yard sale,thrift stores.But most as store trades,trade ins from DTD dealers when they were more plentiful,others vac dealers that retired or died,and leads with or from other collectors.
jaker15-Should be a few more brooms in corners.Will let you know.
kirbyduh-Needs to be finished soon as possible.There is MUCH Elux.Almost any after Mo XII(but XX,T & CA very rare)Should consider trip before they go to my folk artist with welder and become high dollar sculpture.He just took misc iron rods & glass and made a bottle tree that sold for a few hundred dollars.Easy drive from KY.Look at Rt 25 toward Bean Station & Kingsport TN if it works from your area.
sbakerde-Just found gray electric hose for your Black & Decker canister and we forgot box for you D-3 Rainbow.Will be waiting for you.

Are any of the green Sears canisters or the nice blue one left? I would be interested in one or the other, but worried shipping might be too high. Need hose and matching PN too and some attachments.

 

[rugsucker]

Sears canisters

fan-of-fans--All in picture and possibly more still hiding are still here.Some of the boxes from this weekend do have Sears hoses.Not sure condition.Many small atts are at main store.Few Power Mates in warehouse so far,but do have boxes of them in storage area at store.--We are very close to having a 'final warning' on plastic Sears,Hoover & Eureka before they go across the parking lot to dumpster!!

[rugsucker]

Hi Jimmy, did you change your email address? I tried to send you an email to the address in your Vacuumland profile and it bounced back.

Thx--

Hi, Jimmy,

Here is an updated inclusive wish list. I have combined my lists from replies 3, 6, and 89:


1) a tan CB to the list--depending on price

2) a starburst B-8 shampoo tank

3) a tan B-8

4) a tan/ivory floor/rug tool (tan G colors)

5) a plastic PN-1 ribbed wand (the second version after the Model F)

6) several teal and ivory cord end holders (see photo) that snap onto hose

7) white wall brushes and dusting brushes (Model G--aqua and tan)

8) Rug Washer (tan G colors)

9) 2 teal Rug Washer trays ('60s-style as you have mentioned)

10) Exhaust louvers/diffusers for donut-style and Model G cord winders (ivory and teal)

11) PN-1 brush rolls--good condition

12) 2 hoses (aqua Model G and ivory Model L colors)

13) a tan Model G manual (yellow cover)

14) an aqua Model G canister--first version with bumper on cord

I was also going to ask you if you have a list of Electrolux machines with their names and model #s (and any other information)--particularly since the Model 1521s. I am trying to complete information for a possible collectors' book.

 

[kirbyduh]

Jimmy

Here is a list of the items that I am most interested in (nothing very complex)
1) PN-1 with plastic wand and cord to match Aqua G
2) Dusting brushes for model E, AF, and Aqua G
3) Floor/carpet nozzle,for model E ( no spring clamp) and Aqua G
4) Cosmetically nice model AF hose
5) Any regular lux air powered polisher
6) White bristle dusting and wall brushes
7) Nice PN 2.
8) If I am able to make it down there, I would like these machines in decent shape: model S, AE, and white model L.
9) This may be a long shot, but would you happen to have one of those special little metal, horseshoe shaped upholstery tools? Thanks.
