Thanks Bill, I guess some people have more money than sense,I collect bags and belts for machines I don't even have,so that wasn't a problem, I just wiped it off and tested a small spot with Mothers Polish,so it still needs a beauty treatment. |

Yes Harley, It is a screamer,much like my Hoover Concepts,I wish all vacs were as quiet as a Lux or FQ, but when you add the power nozzle they are as noisy. |

Hi Alan, It makes me think how many other good vacuums and appliances go to the crusher. Mark |

I love Swiveltop's title for this thread! "Curbside rescue".....hysterical! And who knew we could categorize a whole community of vacs as "screamers"? It's so true! As much as I loved my parents' old basic Eureka Bravo "sans on-board tools" (excellent carpet cleaner), it was a real screamer too! Sounded like a jet engine on a 747........ |

Hit the post button instead of preview, meant to say I can't remember what hardcase models they offered between the Whirlpool design and the Panasonic,or was there a gap there? |

Making it a weekend project to sort & separate into new locations, to clear up main floor space...because there were so many uprights in the piano room I couldn't get to the pianos to play rolls. Set up a Singer/Kenmore/Eureka stall in the basement and all the Hoovers are lining up in the attic space with the Sunbeams. For now, these are my Kenmore 2 speed and the Sunbeam Psycobag twinfans. The Singer was a gift from xraytech Sam Geresti to go with Elphaba, the Challenged Sunbeam. Thanks Sam - Love the carpet height mechanism that rotates both axles in a way that rocks & tilts the vacuum, rather than simply lifting one axle. While both look alike up top they are quite different underneath the roll plate. Neato. I'm on the lookout for a headlight lens... |

Hi Dave, That looks like a real heavy duty twin fan upright,I remember that 70's mod bag on the Kenmores of that era, That hood looks unique,it is taller like the latter one but but has the casting on the metal base like the first low hood models,rare find. |
