Most come free. Our transfer station has a dedicated reuse drop-off area. I have also picked some out of the metals pile. There are also thrift stores in town.
What are your earliest and favorite vacuum memories?
Photo of me age 2 or 3 trying to push Mom's Kirby.
Have you ever worked on, repaired and/or restored any vacuum cleaners?
Oh yeah. It's a great hobby. Also do lamps, fans, old power tools & lawnmowers.
