Very interesting.... It's great to see old manuals and advertising. They can tell us a lot about our old collectible machines. Thank you Charlie.

Doug...

 ...never ask a magician how the trick is done! (Work it out for yourself and steal the credit) :D

CRL - This is fascinating; the info about greasing Hoover bearings especially. Could anyone recommend a particular kind of grease suitable for Hoover motor bearings?

You have to upload the files to a server somewhere, then for each photo you want to post, insert the following code. Note that it is slightly different from standard html code.





... where "yourserver.com" = the location of the files, and where "filename.jpg" = the name of each file you want to upload.

I've got my tube of bearing grease around here somewhere. I'll unearth it and let you know what it is exactly.

I received two books in this lot: "Re-New Sweeper Company" 1947 Parts and Repair Catalog of 68 pages, and "Vacuum Cleaner Service Manual and Parts List" of 43 pages.

These two soft-cover books contain many of the usual black-and-white line drawings of parts and accessories you see in sweeper supply parts catalogs -- but at more than a hundred pages combined, there's just way too much stuff there to start scanning. I thought the list of vacuum cleaners would be of great interest due to the large number of obscure brand names.

Attached is a photo of a tube of bearing grease suitable for vacuums. It is the correct density and designed for ball and roller bearings. I believe it was purchased from Hesco. Hope this helps.

This is indeed a wonderful posting, Charles. Quite a few oddball brands. I especially like the section on the Ohio Tuec. I'm surprised they were still available as late as 1932. Perhaps these were factory refurbs?
