Just checked it out myself and you are 100% correct! Really really sad.   I doubt it's a mistake, unfortunately.   At least we will still have our vintage beauties!  

Perfect brand Type C Hepa bags have been discontinued I researched that about a year ago.   Total bummer.  I guess V.A.C bags will follow suit in the years to come as demand goes down over time.    Hopefully not. 

Sex happens... get over it! Not sure what your implying about what happened years ago. So without having any details I can add my 2 cents saying that if you get a bunch of men most of whom are gay and have a lot in common into a Room, there's bound to be some sexual tension. Are you saying that...

Can't find the video link. What video have you guys seen?

Nice find! It's a rebranded Airway from around the late 70s.   Still make OEM bags but they don't filter well and the original good bags are very hard to find.   Where are you located?

Memorable visit to Rolla! Thanks to Tom and Donnie for hosting such a great dinner party!  I enjoyed meeting everyone, and we all got along like old friends even from the first meeting! The food was off the charts!  I ate two full plates, and then completely went into a food coma.   The...

Not sure what type of tool you're talking about.. I know the upholstery tool doesn't do the best job, but what other's are you aware of that might fit a Compact/Tristar/Patriot?Can you post a pic please?

Congratulations Tom and Donnie! Really fun interview! 

I just got my first Compact/Tristar! I don't know why I waited so long.. for the right opportunity to get a near mint one I guess.   Drove an hour each way to pick it up, and already ordered a new pre motor filter, post motor filter, new cloth inner bag holder and new hepa bags.   Also...
