The other side Of the Compact.

I just bought a Compact C2 from Shopgoodwill.com.  It's supposed to be delivered next Friday.  Can't wait, as it will be my first Compact.  These are pictures of it from the auction site:

Does anyone recall this Vacuum Collectors convention in Los Angeles?  http://www.wired.com/rawfile/2013/07/vacuum-cleaner-collectors-disco-dog-dancers-and-what-it-means-to-belong/#slideid-22110

Thanks John, That Convertible is almost identical to the one my Dad let me pick out and buy all by myself in 1977. I have two other Hoover's I don't have a picture of yet. One is a blue Concept One with power drive, and the other is a Like new Floor Mate with Spin Scrub. Haven't used it yet...

Thanks again Alex. There is actually a story behind that Convertible. I had been looking for that model for a while, and when I finally found it, I couldn't pass it up. The only way anyone could take it away from me would be to pry it from my cold dead fingers. :-)

Thanks Alex Which one do you mean? I know that in the UK, what we call the Dial A Matic is called the Convertible. What we call the convertible is the one on the right. Joe

You asked for it! :-) Here are mine

Brian Here in the states, we have a chain called Big Lots. They often have the Hoover Platinum uprights for $99. Do you have anything like that in Canada? Joe

Mine are Best bagless: Dyson DC15 Best bagged: Kirby Sentria Best upright: Any of my Kirbys. Best cylinder: Electrolux Silverado Best handheld: Royal 501 Prince Best brand: Kirby Best suited: whichever one I happen to be in the mood to use at the time.

I have to say I like my Silverado. Quiet and powerful.

Thank you Jason!!! I received the Silverado today and all I can say is it is AWESOME!!! Thank you so much. Joe

I won it Can't wait to receive it. Joe

Count me in. Sounds like a lot of fun.  It would be nice to finally meet other collectors face to face.

Already found one But this model doesn't have a connector for a power nozzle. No sense buying it if I can't use it.

Upon closer examination It looks like the only thing missing is the wands. Whew! The rug nozzle is really expensive if I need to buy one.

Thanks Tom Those are cool machines. I guess if I get this Compact I might need to look for another hose for it, as well as the missing attachments. Well that's half the fun, right? :-)

Thanks Rob! Hope I get it. It'll fit nicely with my vintage D2D collection. Joe
