Hi hooversrus By anything do you also mean old bags? I have 2 Air-Way uprights that need work. The outer bag on the Chief (1937) is badly ripped. Can you restore it? Here's a look at the two machines in question. The bag is resting on the floor, it'd gray in color, and has been in a storage unit for 7 years.
Thanks,
Alex Taber.

. Bags are really hard, my vacuums sit and sat in a dirt basement, they been there for 30+ years, so my bags are usually always rotten. When this happens I have a local small business make my bags. I know there not original but the get it pretty damn close. | ||

Beevac That can be done, but it will have a mirror like finish, no in between shine. Do you just want it to shine or do you want it completely rebuilt? Bearings popped out greased etc? | ||

This cleaner doesn't have a brand name on it, just has a star that you see in the picture. The information plate states that it's made by the "Clements Manufacturing Co." So I'm guessing it's a Cadillac rebadge? Oh, and on the bag it says: The Hawk "Makes A Clean Sweep". I thought that was charming.

Hi hooversrus That sounds great.
If you can bring a machine like the one pictured above to a mirror-like finish, then you can work wonders on my Air-Way's, Electrolux's, Kirby's, and others. As I said, once I pay off U-Haul for the 2 pods (in a few weeks) I'll contact you with the list of machines that need work. I can only afford 1 or 2 a month, but at least it's a start.
