My dad found me this Filter Queen 31 and Regina Floor Cleaner today in an old basement. This is the picture he sent me. I'll try to upload some more tomorrow night. He said the filter queen works and came with all of the "papers". The lady said it belonged to her mother and had been sitting in her basement for a very long time. I have way to many Filter Queen 31s now... I don't know anything about the Regina other than that it is going to need a big cleaning! Along with the Filter Queen!

That regina reminds me of my grandpas kenmore polisher. Must have been made under the same company! |

The hose on the Filterqueen doesn't look like the original hose. It looks like it is a replacement hose maybe? |

It actually looks like a rainbow hose. The 33 hose was a dark brown similar to a kirby classic hose. I have seen many retrofitted rainbow hoses on filter queens. |

The ones I have seen had to be. Each end of the hose had rainbow ends with a filter queen adaptor to connect to the machine. |

That or maybe one company made hoses for FQ and Rainbow. |

Here is the Filter Queen. It runs pretty good, but the bearings could use a greasing. The attachment crown is from a D31X, along with the crevice tool, metal floor tool, and I'm pretty sure the hose, because there was a straight suction hose sold with the chrome 33 and the D31x. It came with two packages of cones, one unopened, 4 motor filters, and a few pamphlets. Overall, it's in decent shape, but within the next few weeks I'll be giving it a deep cleaning.
