That's awesome to hear that you love Luxes and want a Kirby! I have a few Kirbys as well as Electroluxes (my favorite is the XXX) and can confirm that the 500 series Kirby cleaners are fantastic. I have a 1954 model 514, and being 60 years old, it still works like new.

Thanks!!! The only Electrolux that I ever knew of was the 1205. My mom used one since I was about 8 years old up on till I was 18 I think. It was her mom's and she bought it new! It's not new anymore! I have a thread on the pics of what it looks like now. I found it at my parents' house in their garbage heap! Needless to say, it now lives with me! It's mostly covered in rust, missing all but one wheel, the handle is completely missing, but I'm going to restore it! What's funny is it still runs great and the cord winder works like it's new! Well, my mom just passed about 6 months ago and now that I have it, it means so much more! That vacuum is what started my obsession! Before I got my mom's 1205, my husband bought me my own 1205 from Ebay and I use it everyday! So, from there I realized that there are so many different styles of Electrolux canisters and I had to have the LX and the XXX!!! Anyways, I've always thought the Kirbys were scary and fascinating at the same time! I've always cherished the movie Brave Little Toaster and loved "Kirby"! Ha Ha! I think they're amazing part of history and can see myself collecting Kirbys like a crazy person! I collect vintage clock radios, Sunbeam Mixmasters stand mixers, electric hand mixers, vacuums, and chainsaws too! I don't know much about Kirbys at all! What model do you think is the best and a good one to have for a daily user??? Thanks for writing to me! -Michelle
 
Luxy1205,

You're certainly welcome! I will start a new thread under the "Vintage" section to give you a bit of info on Kirby. There are several members on here who know more about them than I do, and they will do everything they can to help. Check the Vintage section soon!
 
@rugsucker  do any of these vintage Electrolux's work? also what's the shipping rates  as I'd like the luxes for a friend and if you still have any preferably with a hose a floating hoover constellation for my self. I'm not promising anything but I did get interested.


Thanks


2011hoover700


p.s. both items will be shipped to my place. if we make the deal.

smow69-1st bag not likely-2nd may have complete vac-3rd style always rare here.
luxy1205-possibly 20 Kirbys from 505 to Classic III(a northern collector will have first choice on many of these).Most Heritage went to a local vac guy but do have more at main store.
2011Hoover700-Elux are in various condition.Some have parts missing from past repairs.Others will remain very good.Many Constellation(some not yet pictured).Most at least good.
Will continue sorting at warehouse most of today and new pics soon.
 
Ooh, Jimmy - I may have to give you a call. I need two of those orange Covertible bags; like in that last picture. One for a model 34, and another for anotehr orange square hood machine that I have, where the zipper has completely blown out.
 
upright bags

Fred,We are getting closer to boxes of hoses and Hoover/Eureka UR zipper bags.Will let you know.(Should be a least a couple more pics from today.)
 
Hi Rugsucker !

The crazy amount of vacuums in your warehouse is absolutely fantastic and 10 times more fascinating then any well ordered vacuum-collection !
I was wondering if you have any HOOVER 150, complete machine or also just the ( working )motor base with fork and intact motor-hood; you do the price. Thanks for your help ! Cheers, guido ( here is my mail : [email protected] )

warehouse(I do know how to spell it!) vacs

Guido,Thanks.Hoover 150 has always been hard to find.I have one I will keep with wrong bag and no boxes.Not likely to be more but anything is possible if Hoover 913s and Eureka comm canisters are breeding in the dark corners!Cheers to you,Jimmy
 
Here's the zip code which is for the elux w/ hose and likely a power nozzle outlet and the constellation preferably with the original length hose, switch on the body and that floats on air. It is 48867 I figured you needed it to calculate the shopping rate for these vacuums I got interested in. Also I want the best working units possible of the connie and the elux.


I'll let you name the price of these and we'll go from there. Also may I send you an email if I speak for these machines?


Thanks so much again

P.S. I'd like my connie hose with a suction control vent preferably.

Eureka Golden Vanguard

Hi Jimmy. I talked to you on the phone a few weeks ago and was wondering if you still had any Eureka Golden Vanguards still available. Thanks!

I guess I'll have to just keep looking at the photos and wishing... there's just no way I can get out there to get some stuff, and even less of a way to get it back here. That Kirby in the 6th photo from the bottom sure is pretty. I also recently found a really decent greenish-white Hoover Celebrity that just came with the hose, one wand, and the floor brush. It would be great to be able to fill it out... along with the other bits of stuff on my wish list. Well, I hope you have good results with your warehouse cleanup. I really do wish I could be there.
 
Warehouse vacs

opelgtkarl-Eurs still on stair steps at store.

Will be busy today with 2 different collectors coming from 2 different directions and looking for different types of vacs.Any they take will make it easier to see the next layers!
 
Hello Hans,Goodby Vacs-

-Hans came over the mountain from NC with a truck and left with Eureka/Montgomery Ward uprights,Sears cans,complete GE Swivel Top with matching atts & more & MORE.

Hello Joel,Goodby Vacs-then Joel arrived from up north with a pull behind trailer and left with many Regina Brooms,Dial-a-Matics,Eureka uprights & comm canister,Westinghouse,Twin Fan Sears/Singers,Hoover can & more & MORE.

Who will be next?!
MUCH more left to reorganize and get ready for new pictures of yet unseen vacs.
 
As I said in a previous post I'm one of the next in line. and in case you missed the zip code I'll repost it in this post.

P.S.S. Sorry to bring it up again and will be looking forward to seeing these pictures.
 
This is one epic...

.
vacuumland event, no doubt.
One question if i may, what are you keeping?
One more question, how long did it take to accumulate these vacuums and by what means did they come?

To those who bought: please share you haul with us here after you get it sorted, thx.
 
oh

If Regina Brooms are being hauled off quickly, is there any way you could set one aside for me? I don't mean to cause trouble or anything....
 
Hey Jimmy!

How much longer will you have your warehouse? I could possibly make it down from Kentucky this summer if you still have some ELECTROLUX stuff available. Thanks. - Lane Thompson
 
Hey gang!

Last weekend I had a great trip to Jimmy's warehouse. Had nice breakfast near the store and a great afternoon digging through the warehouse. Sorry this post is a week late, it has been rather chaotic since I returned home. I will upload a photo once the weather cooperates a little more. And holy vacuums batman! There are more goodies in that warehouse than I could have imagined! Loads of interesting and quality machines just waiting for a good home. I was able to get quite a loot for a little money. I would actually like to go back next month if I'm able to. There are some more items is like to have as well as find missing/ hiding parts for units I got last weekend.
