As some of you know I recently acquired a large lot from a friend in New York. They have kept me quite busy, but almost all of them are completed with currently 4 exceptions. GE Av11

Sanitaire branded Executive, this one was really bad. The paint peeled off in big swatches.

Eureka model 3. This one is taken as far as I can at the present moment. I need to hire a fabrication for a model tag and bag, as well as make a bag connector and 3d print a handle joint.

 I'm just speechless, you did a great job on all of them! I actually almost bought a Fedelco like that one on eBay back when I first started collecting. I passed on it because I wanted a old Hoover more, and the auction ended for the Fedelco with 0 bids and I thought it would be relisted, and it was never seen again. You've come a long way in such a short time, keep it up! | ||

I got to know!
Wow!! what a wonderful bunch of vacuums. Hoover300 you did a great job restoring them. Please let me know the model name or number of the first General Electric on the top of the thread.
These are the kind of vacuums I love to work on and add to my collection. Jim

So darn cool! Excellent work and devotion to the hobby. You practically have a museum in the making! I need to finish that little handheld you sent me long ago this winter. I at least got the metal polished in spring... Too many projects, too little time and strength... | ||

Thank you so much!! It has certainly been tiring, and has ate through at least one buffing wheel!
Husky - The Fedelco is basically just a Bee Vac with a stationary back wheel and 2 big front ones. It probably performs the same as your Bee. Vacmadman - GE model AV11. Sorry for the sideways pictures, VL likes to load pics sideways for some reason. Maybe because most are vertical pics? | ||

Thank you so much. Mostly completed another today, this Hoover Lark 12. Still needs a good badge and a piece of trim for under the handle bail. The tag underneath said last serviced, October 1968
