Rinsenvac

[vacboy88]

Hi guys,

Do any of you have any experience with Rinsenvac carpet cleaners? I picked up three of them the other day from a hardware store that was getting rid of them. They are dark blue with stainless steel tanks, and have heaters for the solution tanks. I would guess they are from the late 70's or early 80's. They are all in pretty rough shape, but I am hoping that they will clean up nicely. Does anyone know where you can get parts for these?

Any information is greatly appeciated!
Evan

My grandparents had one that a friend gave them in '78. Her parents owned a 7-11 that rented them and were getting new machines. It was a great machine , my grandparents got a lot of use out of it, but unfortunately sprung leaks (but hey, it was over 30 years old). The bad news is that parts for these are very difficult to find if not impossible because all the rental machines have gone to a one piece design. I finally just ended up discarding it. My advice if these are running good is to either check around on the internet (because you never know what you might find), or salvage the best parts, combine them and have one good machine.
