One good thing about being laid off, is that it gave me time to work on things I previously didn't have time to get done, including taking pics of vacuums that I've had for quite a while but never got around to photographing. As of now, all my machines have been photographed except for about 5 of them, so here are some of the recent pics. For starters, we have what I call "Royal Ensemble In Red & Black," with my 153 on the left, 189 "Hybrid" on the right, and 157 hand vac in front. The reason I call the 189 a hybrid is that the motor is from a 601, but EVERYTHING else is 189. The attachment set came with the 189 and was missing the floor brush and small upholstery tool when I got it, and I added them later. All 3 machines run great, but the 189 sounds more like a Kirby than a Royal. Jeff

Kenmore Model 116.730
The Torpedo Tank! Former member Mark Goodall helped me out with this one. It had one broken wheel and one missing and a missing switch cover. When I asked Mark if he had parts, he sent a whole machine so I could build the best machine possible from the two and send him back an empty shell. Also, the only attachments that came with it beside the hose and wands were a ratty dust brush, beat up upholstery nozzle, and a rug nozzle missing the bumper, but I bought a complete set with a Kenkart caddy on ebay, and later, a sprayer.

And Last But Not Least, The Westinghouse SC-1 Cannister
This is the one many of you have heard about before. It belonged to an Aunt whose husband worked at the Mansfield Westinghouse plant most of his life. I got it when they moved into assisted living. Although it has 50 years of use on it, it is still quite a powerful machine, and literally had a lifetime supply of bags with it when I got it! And of course, being a family machine makes it a special part of my collection. I do have more pics, but this is all for now. Enjoy, Jeff

Thank You For The Compliments!
Glad you enjoyed them! I was kind of surprised the way they turned out--made some of them look better than they actually do. For example, neither the Kenmore nor the Westinghouse look as nice as they do in the pics. I do have more pics to post, and will probably start another thread for them, so stay tuned for further developments! Jeff | ||
