Yep A Central Vac International unit. Those were big in LA. Very good units. I have decided to bite the bullet and put the MD Silent Master in here. Have to have an electrician put in a 30 amp 120 volt circuit to plug it in. This thing will suck the paint off the walls and dims the lights...

Your Welcome Tom More to come as I sort through all this stuff accumulated over the years. No space for it now. Glad to know it will go to those who will appreciate it. Charlie and I are talking about coming out in June.

Central Vac Fred - Owen Perkins got me a vintage Filtex central vac which I put in the St. Charles house and took the MD Silentmaster S5 with me. It is in storage. I'll have to have the house piped for the inlets (luckily the house has a great attic). I'll also have to have an electrician...

Here Are Some Pictures Of the new house.

Wow! Good memories of Terry. If he was still with us he would have been here with me getting settled in Palm Springs. I would have no choice about the organization of the house. Miss him dearly.

No This Isn't Terry's G But Terry's G was one of four that I bought at the same time. We made sure he got this one. Good memories.

I Forgot To Talk About The Lux G This is one of my favorite machines. I have a beautiful rebuilt G but the cord is too short for the house. I suppose I should try it and give it a chance. The problem is huge expanses of hard floors. I need a longer hose (which can be done) and a longer cord...

Got The Storage Units Organized And brought this one home. The Air-Way Centurion. Bought this one from Tom as well. I think this is the one. I have set up a long hose and use the original Air-Way tools. The bag capacity is good, the cord is long and the cyclonic action in the bag doesn't...

Brought The Rainbow E Series In the main packing right to the house. Bought from Tom Gasko when it first came out. Great machine. Just could never adjust to emptying the thing. I tried it out and the dust turned to mud. Still with me but probably won't be used daily. You have to have the...

Now For A Canister The first one up was a Compact. Good cyclonic action, long cord and adapted long hose. Near the top of the list.

I Just Pulled Out A Hoover Convertible from storage. The Hoover 69. In cleaning contests these beat out everything else for cleaning sandy dirt. Pushes hard so the Kirby wins.

First Up An upright for the carpeting which represents about 1/3 of the flooring. Again, we are dealing with fine sandy dust that tends to clog the filter medium. I have to say I have settled on a machine that I bought new back in the mid 70s. Some people call these machines dirt belchers...

I've moved to Palm Springs (now Tarantula Arms West) and am cleaning the house myself for now. I haven't installed a central vac yet which would be my first choice for vacuuming so I am sorting through all the vintage vacs to determine which ones are the best for using on a daily basis for...

Sorry Rob I've tried to resolve this and Bill refuses to do it. He seems to need someone else to respond for him.

The Bottom Line Here is a matter of equity. Whether or not the machine was as represented (a matter of opinion and mine is that it was - check out the pictures above) per the buyer's request, I refunded the money and asked for the machine to be returned to me. Any legal court of equity would...

Put This One Back Up The shipping on the 33 was less than $50 so the shipping estimate is revised. I actually only charge the actual cost of packing and shipping. These machines break down for shipping well.

Charles Richard You always sell the best machines. This one truly is unusual. I still have the all original Lewyt Big Wheels machine you sold me which kicked off this crazy hobby with me. It even had the original hose hanger! I have one of these but need to sort through the boxes of parts...

Chad If you are going to quote statistics - quote all of them. Up until this point I have had 100% positive feedback with 319 feedback responses. Many people here have bought machines from me with very good results.

Here's The Documentation Received from Ebay: josemisc has started a return request, hooverconstellation eBay Respond to the return request Hi hooverconstellation, josemisc requested to return Vintage Kirby 519 Like New in Original Box because something is wrong...

And To Literally Add Insult To Injury He gave me bad feedback on EBay and because of EBay procedures as seller I don't get to respond.
