Great regina Cahd, It was so nice of Marty to send that to you, I love how nice it is when people who you have met do something this nice for you. I also didn't know Regina made a canister vac. Sam | ||

Chad, what a nice looking machine!! You are so right, both Marty and Victor are great guys!! If I'm not mistaken I think that at one time Regina also had a canister much like that one with a power nozzle. | ||

OMG
Yes that was such a nice thing Marty has done. I havn't seen one of those in ages, a neighbor of my aunt had one and would not part with it. I later found out that his wife got a new Hoover Elite in 1991,a short time after I asked if i coul buy it, and he thew it out =( said he forgot i wanted it. Anyway congratulations and enjoy your new prize.

Chad, you are so right, "The Great People We Meet"!! I have said it before, for me the vacuums have become secondary, it's all the great people I have gotten to know through this club that is most important!! Terry | ||

Chad, I mis-remembered. I have just this one. Which means the other one is at the Petrolia Junk Barn in a box under the table... I have no Regina so it's yours if you want it. Maybe Pete will find the other one... I luv the PATIO setting. :-) Crap, can't post the pictures here in Vintage - I'll put 'em up on the Contemporary page | ||

My mom purchased a similiar Regina model in the early 70s. It was the TOL with the chrome lid, 3 push buttons for air flow selection (located on top of the chrome lid), full bag indicator and cord rewind. The tools stored inside. It was an awful vacuum. Soon after she bought it she discovered that the wands would not stay together. She would be vacuuming the carpets and suddenly the 2 wands would come apart. If she pushed them tighter together then it was impossible to get them apart. Also, the cord kept rewinding slowly on its own she you constantly had to pull it out. Also the bag indicator indicated a full bag all the time even after a new bag was used. And finally the rug nozzle cracked at the opening where the lower wand was inserted. She had to duct tape it to the wand in order to use it. She had purchased this vac to replace her aging Filter Queen but about a year later she went out and bought another Filter Queen. The Regina is still at the cottage and good for vacuuming out the car but that is about it. I remember a friend of my mom's purchased the low end model of the Regina and she had the same problems with the wands coming apart. Gary | ||

I was poking thru my 73/74 Consumers Distributing catalog and they sold some Reginas, a plain round wastebasket looking canister and 3 canisters similar to the above but more angular. Scanners not working :( | ||

Regina carpet nozzle adjustments......
Just curious.....Regina seemed to be the only one to provide special adjusters on their suction only carpet nozzles - two for "edge cleaning" and sometimes two other sliders for "Air Pulse" (I guess Regina's version of Eureka's Vibra-Beat action). What was the purpose of having the ability to turn these features on and off? I mean, did these adjustments ever make any difference in how the Regina carpet nozzles cleaned? And was it really necessary to precisely adjust the bristles for various carpets using that Rug Pile Dial? I could see needing that on an upright, or a two-way adjuster for carpets versus bare floors, but was such a fine tuning pile adjuster really a helpful feature to have?

My mom's Regina had the slide adjustments for edge cleaning as well as the dial adjustments for bare floors and different types of carpet. The slide adjustments would turn off the airflow at the centre of the nozzle and concentrate all the flow at both ends instead which did work OK for doing edge cleaning along baseboards, etc. The dial adjustment when in bare floor position would lower a felt strip at the front of the nozzle and also put the rear brush strip in the lowest position. When the dial was set to low/med./high for carpets that would raise the front felt strip completely and then set the rear brush strip at various heights. I found that if the dial was set to low it would eventually creep its way over to the high position just because of the force on the nozzle. Gary | ||
