I have a Westinghouse Model F-91 Style Y-4705
I have a 1961 Kirby model 561
I also have a Hoover model UH70930
What are your dream machines yet to be found?
I honestly don't know. I'm pretty happy with what I have. I guess I would like a matching Westinghouse hand vac to compliment my upright. I don't even have a hand vac at the moment!
What are your earliest and favorite vacuum memories?
I remember when I was 2 or 3 watching the brave little toaster and loving the "Kirby" character. I also remember my Moms Hoover convertible although I'm not sure exactly which type it was. She got a nasty Eureka Boss, my opinion, which eventually went up in smoke! That thing was loud! At least I got to take it apart when I was 6 or 7! Very first thing I took apart.
What is the history of vacuum you have owned?
Aside from those that I already mentioned, I have also owned a Kirby omega classic, a Kirby tradition, and another Kirby omega classic (much worse shape but a great runner!). I have given them all away to peopple who wanted a real vacuum!
Have you ever worked on, repaired and/or restored any vacuum cleaners?
Only my westinghouse which was a pleasure to take apart.
