Rick, I remember seeing that at one of the conventions. Truly a beautiful restoration, a labor of love for sure. You are a master of your craft. Did you ever get to the Universal upright?

Hi crevicetool

The first picture looks like some of the machines I had in storage. Please post a how-to so my machines can look that good.

Did that vac come before or after the GE roll easy?

 

[ultimatevacman]

That's an amazing restoration! Beautiful.

"before or after ?"

Roll Easy was about 1955 and then Westinghouse Mobile about 1958.Roll Easy had 2-3 models with many differences,Mobile had 2 models with only color change.I think the 4 attachments were Mobile only.Both among the ultimate 50s vacs!!

Westinghouse

I was reading the Sunday ads, and there was a Westinghouse microwave for sale at Kmart I think. Isn't it odd how those old names come back long after the companies are gone?

"Beautiful Restoration"

Oh Rick!

I remember using that BEAUTIFUL WESTINGHOUSE at the convention in Austin!
I was just blown away at how you restored this machine to like new condition, you have a true talent! My friend Billy Lipman won the auction of this last one on Ebay. Keep vacuuming and have a wonderful Holiday!
