Hoover Constellation............ I'm wondering if this will be what Hoover offers as their 100th anniversary model.

Repairing.... That's not restoring, Tim. I think your vac shop guy did pretty well. You now have a "daily driver" GE. It looks nice to me by the way. You see, you must have told him you wanted it repaired. If so, he did exactly that. You just can't find original replacement parts for GE...

Let the day begin!!!!!! Hope there is alot of Cajun Dancing!!!!!!!!!! And Cajun food too! Congrats and here's to a long, happy life together for the both of you! Joe

Welcome Charlie... Welcome Charlie. It'll be great to have yet another vacuum guru here. There is a wealth of knowledge on this site and a bunch of friendly folks. Its a great place and hope you stick around. So again, a big welcome from the great "Nickle City", Buffalo, NY! Joe

Fix the Lux! Its a great machine. Too many of them met their fate because the woven hose failed. I've reccommended to many Lux owners, the aftermarket vinyl hose that is available thru Hesco or Esco. Loal vac shops will have it too. They could not believe how much their machine picked up after...

The LX.... I have my grandma's LX she bought new in the early 50's. My mom has said she spent many hours using that machine. Grandma even managed to save the box. She had stored old clothing in it and I had to get it when I got the machine. Its got the yellow sides and its original hose <br Joe

My Vote.... I would have to vote to bring back the Concept One also. They are cleaning machines! Quiet, yet strong sounding. Deep Cleaning machines. The Connie was my very first choice, just add a power nozzle. The Decade/Convertible has honorable mention seeing it is still available as the...

Who ever it was..... Its great to have the Connie back. Thanks, Fred for the info on the management side of the poject. In regards to its bags, I thought that the alergen "S" bags had the latex seal, but I don't think that's true. Is there such a thing as an alergen "S" bag? I think I'm...

11 Months...... 11 months isn't bad considering that alot of the machine is new. You have to figure tooling into the mix. Alot of what was metal on the old Connies is now plastic, i.e. base and filter housing. Plus a new handle and hose connection. Injection molds have at least a 4 month lead...

Bags............. Hey Fred, What style bag is used in your Maytag Connie? It almost looks like an "S" bag. The cardboard collar did not look like the traditional "J" bag. I've found "S" bags in vintage Connie's I've rescued. If you cut the cardboard just right, it will work. I hope there...

Jeff, you are just going to have to tag along with Tom the next time he visits. I can show you the rounds and you never know what may turn up.. Joe

Now if I can only find.... a u5017 DAM. That is another one that's avoiding me. But, like this 1130, I'll trip over a u5017 some day. Bob, the weather was a break between storms. We had a nice rain today, even though my wife had to be out in it with some of our animals, working an Agriculture...

A base shot.... Shining bright

The Bag is a little rough, but still nice.

I think these would have to qualify as the "finds of the year". I've been looking for an 1130 Dial A Matic for awhile now and it has been eluding me until now. It was at a Thrift store that I just happen to be going by and stopped in at the last minute. Got some great vacs that way. Another of...

12 Amp Connie...... If its made in China, it probably has the tapered fan motor that's typically in the Chinese vacuums. Those motors have some pretty nice suction. I've been impressed at the suction the Chinese canister vacuums have. Working in mechanical design and with Chinese suppliers, I...

Its here! The Hoover versions of UK's Maytag Satelite! $200.00 will get you one! Check out this link.... http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7859301&type=product&productCategoryId=pcmcat17100050034&id=1142301890140

Try This Link Its off of the Aerus website and is a listing of the Electrolux Canadian models. Joe http://www.aerusonline.com/service/docs/CAModelHistory.pdf

Great catch!!! I've always liked those Canadian Luxes. Living so close to the Ontario border you would think I have lots of them, but nope. Got to get across that Rainbow Bridge more often. I have a model 89, but its just the body. I'd like to get a hose or at least the machine end of a hose...

Looks Like A Fun Time! Jeff and Tom wanted me to go, but this is the busiest time on the farm right now. We are putting up hay and with the weather as dry as it is, it needs to be done. Oh well, maybe next year. <br That Maytag "connie" looks sharp <br Joe
