What are your dream machines yet to be found?

I have found most of them. The remaining Pre-War Scott-Fetzer/Kirby machines, more gold Kirbys, the remaining American Lincoln's to complete the series and other model Electroluxes and Rainbows to help complete the line up.

What are your earliest and favorite vacuum memories?

Learning to walk push my mother's Panasonic Jet-Flo MC-6210 and eating vacuum cleaner shaped pancakes made by my dear grandmother.

What is the history of vacuum you have owned?

I started collecting around age 14 and haven't slowed down since.

Have you ever worked on, repaired and/or restored any vacuum cleaners?

Oh yes! Many!
