What are your dream machines yet to be found?
Vacuette both elec. and non elec. Scott & Fetzer sanitation systems. The early Kirby models that finally has the kirby name on them.
What are your earliest and favorite vacuum memories?
I was facinated with my grandmothers Kirby 519. Loved to take it apart and assemble it to look like the pictures in the book. This was around age 3. Also did alot of vaccuming with it as well and was treated like royalty for "helping out" My Grandfather taking the punishment for my vacuuming the garage floor with the 519 and later him taking the blame for my vaccuming out the ashtrays in the car with the with the new 1CR she bought for us to use. Funny how grandchildren never do anything wrong.
What is the history of vacuum you have owned?
A rebuilt 519 that I traded for my Heritage II Varous other hoover uprights.
Wish I had kept the 519 in addition to the New one.
Have you ever worked on, repaired and/or restored any vacuum cleaners?
Daily fix vaccums for the cleaning service and have lovingly and prouldy polished up some of my favorite kirbys im my daily use collection that I have for work.
