Okay like I am out of room but I always find a place for more. My neighbor's house is huge and empty and has been for the last fifteen years and the front door is unlocked, so like I might get a new pad lock and move more into it. No one will ever know lol. I would never really do that. Anyhow, this first picture is of my new GE Reach Easy. It's in good condition but has no hose or any other attachments but that okay becaues I have a hose that will work. The others are the first and second models of Oreck. The one on the left is the 1964 Oreck CVR 4000 which was the transition from the CVR Whrilpool to the Oreck. The one on the right is the first 1964 Oreck XL 4000. As you cann see there is a slight difference in color. The black hood in front was something I found at Jason's house and he told me to take it. It's the third model. The hood and handel were the only parts to this one but. All of the early Oreck info is what I was told, I have no idea if it's right. No one really seems to have much info on the Oreck's from the 60's through the late 70's. I like these just because they are kind of cute and something different to add to the collection. |

Nice machines! I love these older Orecks, but I don't know much about them. I also love the old style Oreck logo. |

I have wanted all three of these for a long time and I got them all in the same weekend!!! They still need to be cleaned and serviced and I will take pics of that when I get to it later this week. The 63 is really nice. The red one is a metal based machine that you don't see or hear much about. And of coarse there is the bicentennial Liberty Bell Convertible. All three of these seem to be all original except the 63 has a brown replacment cord. And I forgot to mention that both of the Oreck's above came from the same place ( not the same place as the Convertibles, I meant I got two Oreck's from the same place) They came to me a while ago (a couple of months) the Hoovers came to me this weekend. |

I haven't noticed any bearing noise with mine. It's really quiet. The Convertible seems to be rare but not one of the rarest, I wouldn't think. I have seen about 6 in total. John, I did't realize the other convertible like that was also a bicentennial. I have it too (with the plad bag) it's a U4099 I can't remember the model of the liberty bell one, maybe U4085? |
