Yes, it was both horrible and scary! I was actually in 2 hospitals during the ordeal, first our local hospital where my wife had taken me to the ER at the onset. I was there 4 days while they ran numerous tests and did the first exploratory surgery, and the next day after the surgery they...

Great to see you on here again Edward, it's been a while! Know what you mean about the minor health issues, have a few of them myself. But that's kind of a given at our age--I'll be 70 in July. Wishing you the best for 2026! Jeff

Nice find Alex! These were actually built for Royal by Kingston. Besides Crown, they were also built with the Royal, Regal, Electro-Hygiene, and Royalaire names on them, and there is currently one on ebay with the Royalaire name on it. You have an interesting mix of attachments with it too! The...

Then I guess you need the Binford 1000 version instead of the Milwaukee impact sockets! Jeff

Don't know just who you're referring to, I sure as heck don't have any "happy soft memories" of 2016! Any nostalgic happy memories I have go much farther back than that, and the farther, the better! Jeff

Hope you will be feeling better soon! And remember to drink plenty of water! Jeff

Some of them were actually made into the 80's. Lena and I had an 84 Ford LTD Crown Victoria 10 passenger wagon for several years. Jeff

As were so many other cars from the 50's, including the 53 Ford Customline that brought me home from the hospital when I was born, the 52 Buick Roadmaster my parents bought when I was about 6 months old, my great-uncle's 53 Oldsmobile Super 88, Grandpa's 58 Plymouth Belvedere, our neighbor's 56...

Healing was a slow process, as it took about 1 1/2 years for the surgical wounds to heal. But I am thankful to still be here, still have both legs & feet, and still able to get around. Jeff

I can relate to what you and Tom both have said here! The differences in the makes and models, and how they've evolved over the years is what mostly perks my interest, along with the memories! I was also one who knew at an early age what vacuums family members and friends had, and where they...

I also had intended to work longer than I did but left my job due to medical problems about 3 months before my 64th birthday. My wife took me to the ER with my right leg extremely swollen and painful and what looked like large blisters on my right foot. Turned out to be cellulitis that had...

I can relate to that! I've also learned a lot from this site over the years, from vacs I didn't know existed, to vacs I'd heard of but didn't know much about, and also some I knew quite a bit about but still learned more! And considering that my collection is almost all vintage machines, I'm...

Welcome to the group! Your Kenkart is probably the rarest model of Kenkarts made! Here's my only Kenmore, a few years older than yours but a much more common model. My parents had one like it when I was a kid that they used in the basement and to clean out their cars. Love the...

Some of the most beautiful cars ever built were the 50's models with plenty of chrome on them! Jeff

You might want to consider using a type C Convertible bag with it. Much more plentiful and cheaper than the type W bags. Jeff
