Mine are the Hoover 68the handle is split except for one small spot hanging on. and my white 1983 Kenmore canister because I don't want to kill it. I want it to last because as you all know the hoses and such are kind of hard to find I also dont use my "new" vintage premier because it has only been used about 3 times and Id like to keep it like new. | ||

I Have a 61
That would work very well as a daily driver. Found it in a vacuum store, in restored condition (except for the brown paint which was removed and the base polished-took a while to figure that one out) being sold as a rebuilt. Couldn't pass it up. The hose is from a later machine, but normal folks (non-vacuum, that is) would never know. Runs like a top BTW Mr. Benedikt - I'll deal with you when I am out there in a few weeks. You can run, but you can't hide!

BTW
It has been highly suggested that collection/vintage machines be run. Keeps the works working. Even if you run it for a minute or two. Guilty of not doing that. BTW When I run that 61 and 53, it brings me right back to the early 50's. Want to grab a pair of high heels and an apron. Charlie Watrous is a vintage automobile collector as well as a very refined vacuum collector and preaches running those cars. I have to work at running my vintage car occasionally. Sorry to hi-jack this thread. It is a fun one! OY! I am old enough to have a vintage car that was bought new Fred
