    WHERE IS EVERYBODY???

    Toxic David, You were not the only one to use the word Toxic in this thread. You were the second to use it here. Thats why I asked the question. Personally, I don't ever remember using the word recently myself, but I have seen it used here in Vacuumland a number of times over the years. I...

    WHERE IS EVERYBODY???

    Agree Antoine, I agree with you, but even the words rude and condescending are words that how should I say, deal with someone's feelings. What you may think is rude or condescending may not be rude or condescending to others. It's a real balancing act today. It's seems we have lost the art...

    WHERE IS EVERYBODY???

    Toxic I would love to hear what some define as "Toxic". If someone here said 2 and 2 is 6 and someone said sorry 2 and 2 is 4 is that being "toxic"? What good is a forum like this if you can't disagree with someone or have a different point of view and be labeled Toxic. I recently disagreed...

    Eureka Model H hand vac

    It's here! I got the Eureka Junior hand vac last week, and finally got a chance to get started on it. It looks and runs well. The armature has the numbers 7 39 stamped on it so that tells me it was built in July 1939. The bag looks to be made of the same material as the Eureka model M bag. It...

    What do you, think...

    Risk If a seller bids on his own item or has a friend, do it, he's running the risk of buying his own item, and will have to post it again. This practice is foolish. A seller can always have a minimum bid amount on the item as well. Jim
