Aaron. You have FOUR Rainbows? I didn't realize that.
Vacman.....I've never seen so many vacuums....That's insane. You really could cause a hurricane if you plugged all those up and turned them all on :) Joel....judging from that background pic, you look like you might be a neat freak :) I don't really collect vacs. All I have is my Rainbow and a Kenmore can and a Hoover Steamvac........Oh, and A Eureka Might Mite I keep in the laundry room to suck the lint off the lint screen. | ||

Wow, all nice collections. Zach, you have some impressive machines there and I love the way you have them displayed... Here's mine.... Lately I've been enjoying the Kirby Sentria and G5 and the Sanitaire Commercial with shake out bag....

What I had to do Hi Rob and thanks for the compliment.
I spent 8 hours sanitizing and detailing the machine. You can see the before picture in my album for PR-21. After the first 2 hours, I truly stopped and wondered if I should continue, but decided to go on. I am glad I did. I used Pine Sol, Qtips, Magic Eraser, Windex and Micro Fiber cloths. The handle still has scratches that the pictures just don't show. I also had the bag that you see on it, that I put back just in case I ever found a Model 250. The bag on it I did salvage, but had to use clorox to do it, so it is faded, but still very usable. I will keep it in case this bag ever wears out, since they are difficult to impossible to find.
The hood had many rust stains that I could not sand out. I found a Model 265 blue with cordwinder and chrome hood. I took the chrome hood off of it and put it on this machine. The hood is mint for its age. The bag on this machine had been shreaded by an animal chewing on it...I think. Not usable at all. This machine still runs, so I have an extra two speed motor for future use.
Anyway that is what I did myself, then I took it to a vac shop and had the new 7 amp two speed sanitaire step down motor and cord put on. I put a new vibra groomer II in it and the photo above is the result. The picture here is the before.
Sincerely,
Bud Mattingly

thanks I've never seen one with a loop style handle that had the foot switch, so when there was no rocker on the hand grip it threw me for a loop there! | ||
