Orrefor's of Sweden is also nice lead crystal if you like the more contemporary style. It is pricey new, but crystal doesn't appreciate much in general, and used items are very affordable.

condensation? Good question. There shouldn't be much. I wonder if a Lamb bypass 2 stage motor is tough enough to handle it. Mine has been in my garage exposed to condensation for sure for over 20 years. Some light rust inside the dirt canister, but that's it. An exhaust muffler will fit any...

If the ground gets too cold or too hot, the pipes could crack. My guess is if the ground doesn't change in temp. more than 20 degrees C or F., and doesn't freeze, you'll be ok burying them. Lawn sprinkler lines crack all the time around here even though owners have them air evacuated every fall...

Re; "Waterford" Are they signed by a person? That makes them rare and more special. Ex. by Tom Brennan, an elder craftsman at "House of Waterford" in Ireland. All Waterford crystal is etched on the base with the Waterford etching script regardless if it was made in Ireland prior to the main...

Sure Alex, if the sellers pays shipping. Maybe. I bought a discontinued Marklin ho scale Swedish train set made with real wooden sides from Germany. I paid $80 shipping, insured. Not many here in the states to be had either, so I know I can sell it and recoup 100%, at least. It doesn't weigh...

The Flo-Bee was one actually on the market in the early 90's. It was yellow.

One of the batteries on my Dewalt 18 volt cordless drill is already caput. Since I don't use it every day like a contractor does, once the second dies, I will not replace them. It costs more than the drill. For my needs, corded is the way to go. I don't deduct any tools on my taxes as a...

No dust storm. I do it out doors over the trash can. better than a smelly bag anyday.

I suffer from allergies and that's why I got my CV system. I noticed a difference almost within the first week. Hepa filters are great, but they don't exhaust odors from pet dander and hair which breed bacteria. Outside air enters your house every time you open a door anyway. We've had two...

Mark, I did install mine. I don't know if any newer models can accomadate an electric hose directly at the power unit. Installing inlet valves on a second floor requires a hole saw and drilling through the sole plate in the ceiling between walls. Many new construction homes can come prepped...

I like mine. Some think they clog, but as the hose enters the wall, the piping is wider. You can make them clog, if you try to use them as a shop vac, or suck up socks, etc. Still, mine has a detachable elbow before the power unit so I can clean it out. It is quiet, strong, requires no bags...

Samsung has an infomercial now for it's new robot vac. Not that I would try one, but it's a convincing sales pitch, and it looks like it cleans well on TV. For my weekly deep cleaning, I'm not giving up my 35 ft. hose, power heads, or turbo brush for anything. Second hose in garage for...

Different strokes for different folks. For me, the Compacts are, and Eureka canned hams, and Hoover Connie's.

If it's not a genuine "Eureka" made in Bloomington Il. it's not a Eureka.

That's Grizelda from Desperate Living, yes?

I was obsolete myself once. Got traded in for a new model.

Tool's; yes, when the bag's full too. Use the force. Ha-Ha. Hoovermen. Men men men men manly men ooh hoo hoo.

the 217 is a mediocre power brush anyway. Not for deep pile carpeting. When it was designed, not many if any had active brush edge cleaning. Suction only, and my Eureka ones did a good job when I had wall to wall carpeting. The 'Express' style power heads had active brush edge cleaning on the...

Glich! box outlines turned blue.

couldn't help replying. I think it's mid to late 80's. The entry level ones from the 70's were gold and orange. Model 1620 and up. Then the 1200 series came along in about 1978 in Brandywine (1279) with canned ham shaped 1289 also. Green came following grey, and a royal blue, along with the...
