Rob, Morgan, Ida, Charles Richard and Veda... You have some beautiful Air-Ways. I especially love the 77 and 88. I also love my purple anniversary edition, now I just need to get a set of air-tec tools and I'll be set. M.

Adorable Photo... Jeff, that photo brings back a lot of memories. I was also 14 in the summer of 1978. We had just moved to Alaska and I was entering high school. Big, boat cars as they're often called were in vogue. There seemed to be a Lincoln (Continental and/or Continental Mark V) or...

Penncrest name Jeff, Thanks for the factoid. I love learning about the history of our iconic institutions, especially if it has to do with shopping. :) I just thought perhaps I overlooked some important piece of Pennys' history. I hope you and Michael have a very special New Year's Eve. Mike

Penncrest name Jeff, Are you referring to the logo change in 1971 when it was changed from Penneys to JCPenney? The only name change of which I'm aware occurred in 1913 when The Golden Rule became JCPenney. Am I missing a piece of history? Mike

OMG!!! Tom, Congratulations. Christmas came early this year! I'm having heart palpitations reading this threading and seeing all those wonderful cleaners. And, I'm sure I'm not alone. I'm just waiting to see a post from Fred S. and Jeff Parker. They're going to need smelling salts. Mike

Fred, Thanks for sharing. How fun. BTW, how do you embed the youtube screen into the message?? Inquiring minds want to know. Thanks. Mike

Beautiful Machines Congrats on some excellent finds! They appear to be in mint condition. Either that or they photograph very well. It's amazing what is still out there yet to be found. That gives us all hope. Mike

WELCOME PAUL... Hello Paul and welcome to Vacuumland. You won't find a friendlier group of people anywhere. Also the depth and breadth of combined knowledge this group brings together about vacuum cleaners and related topics can't be matched. Great looking Omega. Congratulations on the find...

Fred... Did you have the Kenmore Saturn when I stayed with you? Was it in my room--the canister room? How on earth did I miss it? I must have been too overwhelmed at the time. She sure appears to be in MINT condition. Lucky you. You do have the best karma when it comes to finding vintage...

Thanks for Sharing... Greg, thanks for sharing these pages from the Sears catalog. Excellent scanning job. I've never seen any of the Kenmore vacuums pictured; where have they all gone? I especially like the Power-Mate and would love to see the wheels on the Aurora, Horizon and Vanguard models.

Congrats Morgan! Another new Miele fan! I love my Capricorn. Welcome to the club. And, congrats! It took a lot of arm twisting, but I'm glad you took my advice. I told you that you'd love it. I'll make a bet that it's your new daily driver for a long, long time. Mike
