I have been non stop since we got back with carpet cleaning, work, being lazy, ETC. I just parked the car with vacuums in it and drove the other 2. I cleaned it all out this weekend and started serviceing everything.
First off we have a Watermatic (would love to have some info on this) with tools and hose. I need cloth filters for it hint hint. I didn't get this from the convention. Toby sent it with Wick Rinkler;P to the convention for me. It ws a nice surprise, he also sent me an original Elux hose that goes to the golden L. Next is a MINT Eureka Power Team that I bought from Alex. Its dated May of 1985 so its a month older than me. Next is one of my favs, the original Filter Queen Princess dated 1982. I bought this from Wick Rinkler;P. All I need for it i a white electric hose. This baby pulled 110 on my suction tester. Then we have a black Premier commercial model 9000 that I bought from Fred S. The next one is a metal based General Electric upright model P6U5 that Terry gave to me (would love to know more about these). Last but not least my pride and joy, in front is an ALL original Regina Electrikbroom model L that is in perfect condition. I took the motor all apart and serviced it, wow what a beauty. The dated on the armature is May 1947. |

I was told this wheel that also serves as cord hook was for when you took the head off and put on the hose, you would flip out the wheel and pool the Regina around like a canister and then push the wheel back in when finished. Wow never knew that. Would love to get my hands on the attachments for this or at least see what the look like.

This morning when I posted my story about the Singer upright; I was thinking about that Premier. The black and red reminds me of the commercial twin fan Kenmore's. And for a moment, I thought it might be a twin fan, but it's not.
I'm still amazed how many vacuums you were able to fit in your car. You are quite the packer. This post was last edited 10/10/2011 at 19:05 |
