I found this Kenmore Duo-Power vacuum last week at an estate sale and grabbed it because it was in such nice condition. There's barely a mark on it and it's complete with all it's tools. The brushroll has a small chunk out of the wood roller so it's rather noisy and vibrates when running but that can be replaced. It will shortly be on it's way to Terry's - happy early birthday, Terry! |

Here's a vac I picked up today at the Starvation Army for $1.99. I'd never seen the Volta brand before - 550 watts of quiet power and made in Sweden. Does anyone know when it's from and any history? I'll play with it for a while but since I'm completely out of room, it will tag along with me to the convention in Ohio to be a raffle prize. (sorry about the messy garage, I'm restoring a 1956 Bendix washer and I ain't got no time for cleaning when there's a washer on the bench ;-) |

Model 2395 means its from 1973. The -95 means its one or two down from the top of the line, which was -99 Nice finds, especially the Kenmore, those are to be treasured today! |

Hi Greg, you do have the knack of finding those vacs!!! I thought the rule was "Theres always space for One More""""...LOl The Volta is the same as the Electrolux Z94 which was produced 1971 - 1974, this was the mid range model and was mums third vac, my Gran also had one, very quiet & efficient for the time, lovely regal "Windsor Blue" is the colour!!! Oh by the way if you see me buying raffle tickets this time "Stop Me"...LOl Cheers, Mike |

worn agitator mountings. Try cushioning/securing the ends of the agitator with some foam tape...it should quiet it down considerably |
