Checkrate/Likes Hey Dr Lux Found the brushes for the motor listed for a central vac Also says the brushes were used in 50's 60' & 70's on Airway, Compact Eureka Filter Queen etc... So did they have central vacs in 60's? Your speculation about the central vac use might be right... CLICK HERE TO GO TO camelotshadow's LINK on eBay

Checkrate/Likes *Central Vacs....* ....Were definitely around in the '60s. My mom's best friend has a house she and her late husband had custom-built in 1966. Larry liked to live large, and stuffed the new house full of that year's latest and greatest. There was a central vac system, a Talk-A-Phone intercom system with AM-FM radio, a GE frost-free fridge with icemaker, a self-cleaning oven, central air, and lots more. An Amana Radarange (damn near science fiction at the time) followed soon after the house was built. The '60s weren't the caveman era many people today think. Some of the technology wasn't as slick as today's, but there was tech aplenty.

Checkrate/Likes *Sort of Uncommon?* Christine, that house was the talk of the area that year, and it's a very well-heeled area. In the '60s, most people had some "space-age" conveniences, but very few people had them all, like this family did. For a lot of people, air conditioning was a window unit in the bedroom. Dishwashers were top-loading, and you rolled them to the sink. Many, many people were still defrosting refrigerators, cleaning ovens by hand, etc. Having more than one TV set in a household was not common. Different time.

Checkrate/Likes They had stuff wasn't the dark ages Had computers too but they weren't in personal market. My grandmother had a color tv in the late 50's Must have been one of the first We were struggling to eat & fix the house & money was tight so we didn't even have a tv til 67 & it was B&W. They had one when I was a baby Said I loved the mickey mouse club there;s a pic of me somewhere in a mmc shirt dancing on the sofa but I don;t rememeber Remember Batman at grandmas as it was so animated. My grandparents even had a AC think late 50's we got it in the 70's when they got a new one as it still worked Huge rounded tan metal monster There was radio so besides going to grandmas I never really watched tv. Still have dreams of Grandmas house No space age house it was built in early 1900's & cost $2000 or so My mom was born there in 1929 We ended up buying a house around the corner with the same address Hows that for Karma the old pre 1900 house a shell that was rented out & had iron ducts in the floor where they heated Took Dad a while to get it fixed up on nights & weekends Most of the houses around us were same No new fangled space age neighborhood Well Fed Ex didn't update there tracking today as scheduled So as I thought old bronze G may not make it for Friday the 13th LOL

Checkrate/Likes I doubt the tracking info will be updated until it arrives. For some reason shipping services start slacking off on the tracking data as the item approches its destination.

Checkrate/Likes Just popping in with a bit of info. Central Vacs date back to the early 1900's. We have a number of houses here in Moose Jaw from the 1908 - 1920's eras that still have the original central vac plumbing in them (Unfortunately not the original vacuums). Alot have had new machines simply adapted to the pipe as the hose outlet fits the new hoses.
