More pics to follow
I also have quite a few Electrolux tanks 30's, LX, E, AE, F, AF, R, G, L, 1205 etc, like new Hoover Spirit in the box that mom and I bought new in 1985 at Zayres, a couple of Hoover brooms, a Pixie, a few Convertibles, a Junior, many Dirt devil C bag uprights from the early 90's, but those belong in the modern thread, and a ton of hand vacs. I also have five nice Eureka F&G bagged uprights of the 1400 series variety and a clean B bag Eureka canister. Thanks for the interest Alan! | ||

Joel, that is a fantastic collection of electric brooms. Thanks so much for sharing it. I have never seen the Speed Vac before, any idea when it was produced? Thanks again for the great pictures. Terry | ||

Speedvac
Terry, I believe the Speedvac by Iona was offered in the late 80's/early 90's as a Canadian import. It uses many of the same parts as the Regina models but the motor is different with traditional roller bearings instead of the sleeve setup Regina bought from GS Electric at the time. It also had it's own dark gray cord and the plastic body around the motor housing assembly was different than the Regina Powerteam. I found this in the garbage with a burnt up motor so had to resort to switching the entire inner motor housing over to the Regina style so I could retro fit one of there motors in place of the Iona version. It works quite well now.

Hey Nick, I also remember these from when I was young and now have one in my collection. Picked it up on ebay in Melbourne about 3 years ago, it's branded Lemair by Regina. It was the first one I had seen in years and have not seen one since. Joel, Love the collection it's great so many colours, broom or stick vacs never really caught on down here in OZ. Mark | ||

Joel, thank you for this addition! You have added something unique to the forum, I believe. In post 30130, a 3-speed with the white Handy Handle is visible between two older green ones. I was around 5 when that was new, and it was one of my first "real" vacuum. I begged for one for Christmas, and I was so excited about the prospect of getting it from Santa that I fell asleep next to the catalog open the its page for weeks before Christmas.
