Guess where I was last week? See picture. Stunning vacuums.

What would you do? I never considered a Compact/Interstate/Tristar in the past. I've just never had a connection with canisters (sorry Mike). This little critter changed my mind. Stuck in a corner of an estate sale garage, next to a big pile of boxes. It probably would have been in the...

Estate sale find today. They wanted a lot - settled for $30. Pretty clean. I’ve read that they are solid. Wow. This thing is built. Swivel coupling on hose leaks air a bit, but cloth hose is good. Not many miles on it. Missing the upholstery tool. Maybe I should mail in the warranty card.

Nice! It should look great after a spa treatment.

Incredible Speechless. What a fantastic collection!

Ohhhhh. That’s what I’d like.

Hello John Sorry to bother you, but just following up if you are willing to part with the Connie 858 pumpkin and seal griege machine. I'd be interested in any functional Connie as an alternative. Thank you. Todd. [email protected]

Constellation 858 - pumpkin and seal griege Hi John, I would be very interested in the Connie 858. Todd

I could use a constellation. After watching a demonstration at the vacuum museum, I know that I gottahaveaconstellation. Todd.

Having a great time! Amazing how Tom has never ending vacuum history stories. Never boring. [this post was last edited: 6/15/2018-17:04]

Famous Rolla restaurants You MUST mean the Waffle House!!! I'm attracted to them like a moth to a flame.

Hello Hans, Would you have a Hoover 102 or 800 or 825 or 900? Other interest is a lux 1205. I love goofy, odd, old.

Thursday Is there any plan for Thursday afternoon / evening?

I'm in Looking forward to another trip to the museum. Had a great time last year.

Who is attending My first trip to the museum last year was a BLAST. I'm leaning towards taking another trip this year. My wish list is finding a decent Airway 55a, nice connie, and maybe a Shark. Scratch that. No Shark.

Not necessarily true... I do understand that I might have a minority opinion on the matter.

Royal vs Airway Hi Tom. Does this Royal give your signature Airway a run for it's money as far as power / suction?

Not really You'll find them for sale on Ebay fairly often. Sellers think that they are "rare" and "collectable". I've seen a couple listed for over a year. They don't understand that a conversation piece wall hanger is maybe worth $30 -$40. In completed auctions, I've never seen the...

You want to talk about abused? Sanitaire that I just pitched at work. Was used in a shop to pick up steel shavings from walk in mats for quite a few years. Sat in a closet for years. Shake out bag was hopelessly stuck and not coming off. Bottom third of the bag contained a big chunk of...

It appears that the handle and second tier base are probably plastic. I thought that it was so cool that the baker incorporated a "dirty floor" cake for the vacuum. I can't imagine how many hours that took to do.
