    Filter Queen Parts Haul. Does anybody else buy parts when they find them before needed?

    Continued - (or until more book store customers take my time) So as I was trying to say there could be anything here from Apex to Hoover Z. Or perhaps cheesewonton who recently filled a van could explain it better.

    What do you use as a bench vac?

    A trip to Rugsucker’s shop

    I just tried to show 7 pictures. I think 4 went through. I could show 100 pictures if it would not waste my time touching and selecting to not have it work or you could come see in person or I could throw it all in the dumpster! I continue to not like my new phone or the new Vacuumland.
