Oh, and that may not have been Deco Dan's packaging specifications, but Deco Deb has not failed me yet ;) although I was concerned a bit about the small bowl because it was closer to the top of the package.

Dave, This fight is not over on my end. I signed up for that class action lawsuit, and I am going to call the store tomorrow and demand a refund be returned to you (not that that will get me far), and then file a complaint with the local BBB office. If they do not resolve the complaint...

Squiffy I love that term, "squiffy." Dave, did you find the little envelope with that part and the spring I mentioned? It should have been toward the top.

Hmmmm...I'd like to know how they managed to rip part of the outer wrap on the one I sent you. I also requested they put "Fragile" stickers on the box and I don't see that either. It is very cool to see what the package looks like once it arrives at its destination.

Chad, That is a terrific idea. I post on another message board related to my work, and they have edit and delete functions. One time I posted there and the computer was being kind of "funky" and I ended up posting the same thing 5 times! Luckily I was able to delete the four extra posts. The...

Yes Alan, I see this with Dave and Pete written all over it.

This is still one ugly vacuum even in a duplicate post.

Haley's Vacuum I don't have one of these and I must admit it is one ugly little bugger. Though if I happened upon one at a fair price in a thrift, I would pick it up for sure.

Can't wait to find out what is holding that handle together. This should be very interesting.

Alan, Great find! I am so happy you went back and purchased it. Keep on posting pictures, I am dying to see what exactly is hiding under the tape. I am not ready to post any pictures yet. Mine is still in the back of my car. It has been pouring rain the past two days, so I didn't feel like...

Alan, you should get it, it probably only needs a bolt or something simple like that. Maybe there is nothing wrong at all, I have gotten things with duct tape on them only to pull it off and find the item fine underneath. Some people like to reinforce stuff with duct tape.

I have a friend who worked for Target last year, and he was letting his friends purchase flat screen TV's, iPods and other high ticket items for literally pennies. He also shuffled things out the back door and was selling them on ebay. Well, he got caught and is lucky that all he got charged...

I admire your restraint. I get a vacuum home, first thing I do is plug it in and let the motor roar to life!

What's the latest? Hi Alan, Just wondering if you have started on this project? Have you gotten a chance to use it and how does it sound/perform?

Alan, That is a spectacular find! Looks like it is in wonderful condition. I am so happy it was complete with all the tools. I loved Tom's story about the employee who spawned the idea for this. I am sure he got fired while some paper pusher got all the credit.

"Shows it's age, adding to its attraction for any collector" That line has had me laughing so much. I get such a kick out eBay and craigslist descriptions. thanks for sharing. Oh, and I for one would not bid on either of these. The first one is only .99, but he doesn't specify the shipping. It...

Picked up the vacuum this morning and found out what she purchased to replace it. I asked her if it was a Dyson, and she gave me a look that said, "I wish, if only I didn't have to take out a small mortgage for one." She said to me, "OH something with a HEPA Filter, it's so neat you can see...

Kyle, I think they would rather see you bring it to one of their authorized repair centers, so they can charge you to fix it rather than your doing the work yourself. To borrow a line from MSNBC's Keith Olberman, "Filter Queen, today's worst persons in the world!"

Dyson? I don't know, I think I will ask her what she bought. Maybe a Dyson? My cousin has a Dyson for pet hair and raves over it.

She said it was her first vacuum, but that she had to get a different one after she got a dog.
