What are your dream machines yet to be found?
A Kirby with a 13 inch brushroll, or even just the power nozzle.
A FilterQueen NIB from the 60s/70s
A Riccar Prima / Simplicity Wonder
What are your earliest and favorite vacuum memories?
Helping my dad vacuum with his FilterQueen and Tristar. Changing belts on Sanitaire vacuums w my father.
Have you ever worked on, repaired and/or restored any vacuum cleaners?
