Hi I read your post and sent you a message

Hi I read your post and sent you a message of some items I am looking for thanks sincerly Sam
 
Hello Post Office,goodbye vacs-

-Money arrived and vacs departed to a north central state today.These will include GE Swivel Top,Hoover,Eureka and parts for Kirby & Electrolux.
Also trying to Kount Kirbys.More on this later as the Kirby population is larger than expected.
 
Kounting Kirbys

I will use Kirbys as one example why this takes longer than getting fast food or item at grocery.(Note-2 collectors will have 1st & 2nd choice on most Kirbys.)I thought I might have about a dozen older Kirbys after they were found in all corners of warehouse.I then pulled out 23 between 505 & DS 80.When I went to bring down the 1 in attic it had become 3 & a Sanitronic rug nozzle.While looking for hose for GE now on its way north I found 2 more in storage area at store.Today brought over a 511(?)that may or may not be last at warehouse.Then--What about condition and value??Each has to be checked and run.Most have original bags,many have original cords,3 are factory rebuilt(1 in 1962),so far one chipped fan,most motors good to very good.And at least half a dozen between DS 80 & Her.-All this with the usual day to day vac store business which today meant spending time with 2 Generations for customers when I might rather service a DS 50 or 80.(Part of reason most should GO! to new homes.)Hope to have a more complete census of Kirbys soon and then this count and story can be repeated with most brands and models that you might think of.--Anyone want to help with the counting and sorting??-Or bring a truck and help the numbers decrease!?
 
Jimmy,

Let me know if you have a G-E Roll-Easy. I know someone who would like one if the price is in his range.
 
Jimmy,

Please add to my list (reply no. 186):

15) An Electrolux Model GH air filter and holder

16) Two each of Electrolux Model F/R gray & ivory floor/rug and dusting brush/upholstery tools
 
And another ...

17) Gray crevice tool (Electrolux Models F and R)
 
warehouse vacs

Kenmore upright-this model?Yes This color?Only seen one.Sold on EBay.
RollEasy-Will keep a nice,complete one but should be 2-3 others.One with surface rust,others OK.Not sure of hose & atts.
Hoover 32-If good or better and correct bag,etc maybe$60-$80.
Paul-Rug/Floors should be in att area at main store.Other items rare to rarer.
--and now back to checking Kirby motors/fans,sorting boxes of hoses(many for metal 70s-80s Eureka cnisters),and packing 2 more boxes to go northward.
 
hoover parts

HI

my friend Joel came down from NY and got some hoover dial a matics for me and some regina brooms for him self. He had asked for some dial a matic brush rolls (the short ones)for (non) power drive models. I need the newer style ones that sweep the dirt trod the suction, taking the reverse helix brush strips. I need about 12 of them if you find some I can rebuild let us know.

thanks Chris
 
Hey Jimmy!

I sent you a message on the vacuumland message system about me possibly coming down your way. Just let me know. Thanks! Lane Thompson
 
parts & vacs

Chris,Very few new bristles and parts(some generic).I do have some boxes of used Hoover brushes to sort later.
Lane,I messaged back.Will be good time to travel.Winter over!,even though local forecast says 'snowflakes on mountains tonight'.Great cruise in with 3-4 blocks of cars & trucks & hot rods & more every Sat night.Also great scenery,resturaunts,antiquing,etc.And easy drive from Interstate & 4 lane.
More vacs being boxed for shipment today but MUCH MORE left!!
 
hoover dial a matic parts

Jimmy

I just need the short dial a matic agitator it self, I have the strips. I am looking to up date the older models so they pick up better. I need 12 or more agitators if you find some of the newer style ones let us know.


Chris
 
Regina parts

Hey Jim,

If you happen upon any of those Regina broom floor nozzles that were missing I would be interested in those if and when found or any other broom parts. I especially need the brown ones from the 50's model 600 brooms which were tan and brown in color or the all black ones that came on the earlier model 1 or K. Also did you find any more Regina's hiding in the shadows?

Thanks a million,

Joel
 
In addition to the metal bodied Electrolux and constellation, do you have a plastic singer twin fan rug plate that is for tool free belt change models you can throw in for a couple of dollars ?  This is for models such as model sst 100b . I'll want to see a picture of the rug plate before I make the decision though.


Thanks again
 
vac parts

Chris-I do have agitators to find later.Some convertible,fewer D-A-M.
Joel-After more vacs go I should find more nozzles & parts.No more brooms yet.
Damien-I think I have seen gray & black plates.Will move some plastic shelves soon and work with Constellations.
 
Hello post office---Goodbye vacs--

A few more gone,a few on EBay this week including a very nice Electro-Hygiene tank with original boxes that was just found in a local garage clean out,and MUCH MORE left.Who wants what?!
 
Lux Guardian?

Do you have any Lux guardians? I just want the body and hose. Already have a Renaissance... Just don't want to fry the handle controls as the boards are super expensive and super hard to find! Let me know. Thanks, KC
