Fellow Rochesterian! I live in Penfield, only ten minutes outside of the city!

A video of the Johnson Vectron

Re: Vectron Mine arrived yesterday. It needs a total restoration, but the motor is rebuildable and I have spare Thunder parts. Below are detailed pictures of the machine.

I will gladly post pictures of the Vectron tomorrow I want everyone to see that it has quite a few differences from its Thunder relative.

Good luck Doesn't Salton (Westinghouse) still own the patents for all of the Fantom vacuums? They could have expired, who knows? I think the Thunder with a pre motor filter would be a fantastic commercial vacuum today. The Lightning and Cyclone XT could have a market with some modifications. As...

Neglected to mention two more machines The Pink Slimline Deluxe came from the vac shop where the Vorwerk, Destiny 3000, etc... came from. The blue Kenmore Progressive upstairs (not pictured) was given to me six years ago by my Grandmother (now deceased) who rarely ever used it in her apartment...

Thanks everyone! I try to maintain a diverse collection. It used to be even more diverse, but I'm cutting down a bit while I'm in college. Unusual vintage machines and high end newer stuff is what I've been going for lately!

Thanks all! Eighty five vacuums aren't easy to cram into that fairly small space. Real1shep, I've actually liquidated many of my plastivacs!

It is! Yes, I am aware that I forgot to mention it! I got it a few years ago from a vac shop.

I've been buying/selling a lot of vacuums lately. If you have the time to watch, I have several nice machines in my collection, all shown in the video.

Kirby Sanitronic? I'm only guessing because it's the most common one of the group.

Yuck $60 is unreasonable for any ten plus year old big box store vacuum. That aside, the V2 is a TERRIBLE vacuum cleaner. Loud, messy filters, bulky, and worst of all, that brushroll design. So trouble prone, and absolutely pointless. They don't clean any better than a regular Windtunnel. The...

Thanks Tom! Yes, Greg Palmer told me February 2013! This will become our household vac once I go back to college.

I haven't been buying vacuums much lately because 1: I'm trying to save money for college and 2: The vacuums I keep finding at the curb are keeping me busy. However, I saw a bunch on vacuums listed in one ad on Craigslist, and I saw this Riccar far off to the left. I tried to resist, but I...

I like it!! Mainly because Tristars are great vacuums and this one is certainly unique.

Update I got the cover off! Now, I need to clean the fan.

I've been going to a certain community garage sale for the past four years, and I don't always find stuff. This year, I lucked out. I found this Rainbow E2 for $60. They originally wanted $125 and marked it down to $75 right before I went there. I offered $60 and they accepted. It has the...

I've had a few Expresses over the years I also had a Powerline, which replaced the express line. Decent canisters but the earlier Ironsides and Rotomatic models had more powerful and longer lasting motors.

Hrrrmm I think that he should have given you a better deal on those, especially the filter and hoses (those are fairly plentiful). The brushrolls are a bit harder to come by so those might actually be worth $20. Maybe more like $10 each. The chances of anyone else coming in to look for those...

This one? Just kidding
