How old is the one in the FIRST picture? I like the white top. Did Filter Queen ever make a solid white vacuum? |

Well, I do love the reliable Filter Queens - both of my Grandmothers had only Filter Queens. My Mom called them old fashioned and always had Electroluxs. Here's the 4 I've found, all made in Canada. Three Model 700's that pull 87" and an older Model 31 that pulls 91". - it's the one to the right I fitted out with the powerhead and a spare Lux clip-on cord. Sure would like a genuine period FQ powerhose or a brown clip-on someday, tho. |

Two different kinds of tool ring (one type hangs the crevicetool low on the side making it much easier to fit on a shelf). I've 'discovered' the floor tool fits quite nicely on the polish pad holder. The motor housing on the 31 has the cord emerging from the left side relative to the power outlet socket. The duplicate 700 on the left I'm getting ready to gift to buddy Stanley as hios house is all hardwood floors and his Connie tends to scratch as it floats. To complete his FQ I'm looking for the double S wands, floor and upholstery tools. I know I've got another tool ring around here somewhere... |

...and that's what gets me into those 'I Love Lucy' situations. When I replaced the tired old electric water softener with the new on demand non-electric hydro-mechanical Kinetico the first Laundry was a hoot, with suds pushing up the washer lid. I laughed and laughed...cause what else could ya do? Kinda creepy haveing suds come up from the floor drain. LOL If I ever get around to it in the Spring I'd like to do the livingroom carpet in strips using the Kirby, FQ and various Electrolux rug washing systems. The fantastic Hoover Floor Washer from Tom is tasked to the kitchen floor, even when it gets replaced with seamless wall to wall battleship lino. |
