What are your dream machines yet to be found?
Kirby model 505 and earlier models
What are your earliest and favorite vacuum memories?
My family owned a Kirby 512 and then the Classic 1CR which I currently have in the collection. I was always fascinated by the look and the sound of the 512 when the house was cleaned.
What is the history of vacuum you have owned?
About 26 of the uprights were given to me by a vac repair shop owner when I helped him move to a new location. Sadly he went into a nursing home in 2011 and most, if not all of his collection, ended up in a dumpster.
