WOW, Great Find!! NOS and never used, amazing. If I remember correctly, it cost about $300 which at that time was an absolute fortune. Amazing that they never used it. My folks bought that exact same machine in '62/'63. I was in kindergarten but still vividly remember the demonstration. It was...

Robert, Congratulations on a great find. There is something very special about this machine. I think many of us relate maybe just a little too much to the bag ejection. I think that happens to be the sweet spot with that machine .... Remember at the Omaha convention when we tried to see how far...

Robert's Estate Sale Carma Strikes Again!!! Robert, Great Find!! You'll have some fun with that machine. They are very cool. Your find caused me to reflect on the great fun we had estate saling over pride weekend! Not sure it would be a daily driver but definitely fun to play with. Also, it...

I'll Gladly Take Them Off Your Hands. Rick, I'm raising my hand!!! I'd love to buy the Regina bags from you. I have several Electric Brooms, including a model K. I always loved these machines as a kid. We didn't have one but several of my aunts had them. I was always bugging them to vacuum...

Chad, What a gorgeous machine. You did an amazing restoration job. WOW!! I absolutely love that vintage of machine. Very solid. Enjoy!! Pat

Hey Robert, Glad to hear you haven't been shocked by the Lewyt. Does sound like you've been close to some shocking opportunities. My concern was the reason for my call, but then again dealing with vintage machines is something you do well. What a shame they (Lewyt designers) didn't use more...

Thrifting Karma Strikes Again!! Wow Robert, spectacular find! Absolutely beautiful! It appears in great shape How does the motor sound? And like Fred said, the electronic no less Love the Lewyts! Enjoy! Pat

Kyle, I bought the MC6220 new back in the mid 80s for 185.00 at a Service Merchandise store in the Chicago area. The 6220 is the three speed version. The electronic was available at the time but I didn't like the fact you have to adjust the speed everytime you turn it on. Probably a silly...

Damn, That's an Electrolux steel body. It looks just like my 1521 w/o the automatic control Very nice!! What did it cost and where did you find it.

Hey Fred, Nice display ... all very well positioned!! Just like a store display window. I remember back in the day, drooling and staring!! Love that 69 front and center. Hmmmmm, I guess that would be my choice. Hope you have a fun St. Patty's day. Enjoy!! Pat

Great machines, Andy. Beautiful Universal, also love the Rexair D Very nice. How is your store update going?? Looks like your making progress. We should talk sometime. Pat

Hey Nick, Yea, I think that was Fred's collection (HooverCelebrity) He has a wonderful collection, tons of Hoovers but also many others ... great cross section of machines. He does a wonderful "spa treatment" on most everything. Hey Fred, how about sharing some current pics?? Would love to take...

Nice Job, Nick I agree with Greg, it really makes a difference to have "personal space" for each machine. They stand out and appear more interesting. Great Job!!! I look forward to the day when I have space to organize my collection the way you have. Enjoy!!! Pat

Don't Let this Get You Down Tom, Just consider the source ... the world is made of all kinds. Don't let the negative, jealous outbursts get you down. Please just let it roll off your back.. I think you've done a great thing with salvaging these machines and posting the pics. It is such great...

Does It Get Any Better?? Fred, Beautiful shots. Fabulous machines. Both machines look spectacular. Great job cleaning them up. As you said, near mint which makes the job easier. The Miele broom with the PN is amazing, a great configuration. I bet it cleans as well if not better than most clean...

Great finds, Fred I think both are good deals. Especially, as you said, compared to buying them new. Both are incredible machines. Love the Miele electric broom, Definitely a machine on my list. Loved playing with the one at Fred's place. You just can't beat a Miele. The Filter Queen is also...
