Here is an Old GE Upright that needs lots of love. This one doesn't have a cord - I found it in the trash with the cord already cut off. So I have no idea if it runs or not. It looks like it is restorable, just beyond my means. |

Oh Chad! I would very much like that fixerupper upright GE, as I have a manual for it and a whole bunch of GE's and they are kinda scarce up around here. Looks to have an original bag and most of the other important parts...and you know the sort of Vacuum Cleaner resurrections I do. I'm asking right now in case this will put me at the top of the list. While I am not going to be at the Convention - boohoo - Pete from Sarnia is and I'm sure he wouldn't mind tossing it into his vehicle along with everything else he'll be snapping up in North Canton. I'm at work right now (and right through the weekend with four 12 hour days)but if this works for you I'll be in touch as soon as managable. Dave |

The upright looks very much like this one toward the bottom of the page of this thread I posted about the GE Tidy. Dave CLICK HERE TO GO TO aeoliandave's LINK |

There should be more hours in a day... Huge public thanks to Chad Cunningham from Kansas City Missouri who lugged these beasts to the Convemntion for Pete to bring home to Davy's Body Shop. Chad, I see diamonds in the rough...real rough. :-) See how they are waiting patiently in line with the philthy Premier. We're overbooked at the Spa. But catching up. |

Another oddball handyman Special - note the thumbscrew on the XXX. Pete has suggested I exchange the shiny side bits over to the Blue 1947 Lux approved bojack 1947 XXX and polish out the ribs on the bag cover. A good idea because then I could preserve the hammertoned side trim for posterity. :-) The Jewel of a GE is just underneath all the rust, corrosion and scale. Should I strip it to metal and polish it up or attempt a Crevicetool intervention and find brown crinkle paint? |
