Thanks for posting. Those Eureka canisters are nice machines. I used to have an orange one until my stepdaughter killed it and my (now ex-) wife decreed it wasn't worth the trouble to fix because we had a nice, new (plastic POS, in my opinion) Kenmore canister. If I ever saw one like it in good shape for a good price at a thrift shop or somewhere, I'd be sorely tempted to snag it.

Vacerator
Welcome to the club! I hope you'll find as much enjoyment as I have, and find as much help and advice as I have been afforded. I am quite eager to return the karmic favor, so if you ever have a Kirby-related question (as that is my only "expertise"), please let me know! I have a fairly good grasp on vacuum theory and just a tiny bit of history too.

Welcome Aboard!
Your vacuums sound great!! I like the older style Eurekas. I have yet to get my hands on a canned ham but those power heads with the dead center headlight look really neat.
Do you have a Digital Camera by chance? You can easily upload photos to your computer with that. Here are my 2 Eureka canisters! | ||

I have an Eureka Empress II but unfortunately without the power nozzle. The hose leaked like a sieve so I replaced it with a rubberized hose.

I had a Wards canned ham from around 82? Gosh I think it was tan?? Had pushbuttons on top for something. That thing had POWER! Great powerhead too, if not the wards bags others seemed to tear apart. They were a bit wide I think for my place, wheels always got caught on the door, wish I had it still though :( Nice Blue and Green there Rob, gosh everyone used to have one of those in my circle of friends. Hard working machines.

Thanks Austin, and Kirby Collector! Only 9 degrees f. up here this morning Austin. Yuck. I wish my folks hadn't sold their Dual Sanitronic 50 at a flea market. It wasn't pitted or rusty. I wonder who has it? I inherited the 1279 Eureka I bought for my mom back in 1979. My sisters beat it up some. | ||

Jill, vintage appliances How about a 1963 Kenmore model 70 washer in turquoise? A 1970 Tappan Gallery gas range with an electric warming shelf, self clean oven, waist high broiler, and burner with a brain? It had a built in vent fan also. Ah! childhood memories! | ||

We have no tomato festival, but with 2 cans of Cento San Marzano tomatoes, I can make some of the best sugo. My grandma who was born in Sicily taught me. I still have 5th and 6th times removed cousins in Civitella Roveto, near Avezzano. | ||

Liz, can you post some pictures? It sounds excellent. Must go to an appreciative collector, or a museum. Switched over to classical from Nite Moves mix techno music. | ||

Thomas, "kirbycollector", A bit off topic, but I think I drove through Hilliard once on the way to Medina. There is a very cool shop there called Ormandy's model train museum and store. | ||

Thomas, re; best foam for carpet shampooing: Amway, or Blue Lustre. Maybe even Amway LOC diluted some? I do know that Hoover spin scrub cleaners use solution that does not foam. | ||

A new memeber last week asked about Eureka. Here are some photos. It was easier opening an old thread than uploading the photo again. | ||
