    How much of my friends history write up was correct do you think? Just curious. He did use to write many historical articles back in the day for the club on early machines. He's very well versed in early days of vacuum cleaners. He doesn't touch machines newer than the mid 1930s

    The history of the red and black pre production model O are as follows - (my friend typed this up) The black Spangler is my favorite of the old ones. I have not seen another -- except at the Hoover Museum in Ohio. There they have (had??) THE ORIGINAL Spangler with the 04 Emerson motor...

    They are beautiful machines! Had the opportunity to run my good friends Spangler suction sweeper a few years back. All original and runs silent as if it were new.

    Repairing Kirby bags

    Usually I would put a patch to cover the hole on the inside. But finding one close to match of color would probably not be too easy. Im not the best at sewing haha

    NIB Kirby Heritage rescued from the thrift store!

    It's amazing what treasures pop up at the thrift stores from time to time. Haven't been quite that lucky but have found quite a few rare birds from the goodwill! Excellent find and I'd love to see it all buffed up some time!

    A Car with a builti-in "Central Vac". Finally !

    Can't believe they are reviving the Pacifica name. One of the worst failures in Chrysler history and they have had many many recently. Incredibly unreliable and poor build quality. The new model is no more than a blown up 200 into a town and country. Hope they improve the quality over the poor...
