Noise Level Stewart, I also purchased a new Royal upright 8300 recently and agree with your assessment. It's NOISY as hell. I understand that they replaced the Royal motor and are now using the Dirt Devil Motor. I'm terribly disappointed with this change and hardly use it, even though it does...

Air-Way Power Nozzle Clay, has Air-Way already changed the new and improved power nozzle that was introduced with the Signature Series?

Production of the Anniversary Edition (Signature Series) I may not have been clear in my earlier posts. My Air-Way is brand new and, according to Charlie, just came from the factory a week or two ago. As for how long Air-Way will be producing the Signature Series... that's a question for...

Alan and Doug Alan, this is a bit off topic, but since you brought up Trimlines... I just added a bright yellow Trimline to my collection. It's not NOS, but it is in Mint condition. I also got my first princess phone--white. And, the base housing and handset are NOS. Email me offline sometime...

Thanks Andy, Hey, I may have a lead on some Miele horse hair dusting brushes. I'll let you know what I find out.

and finally... the close up...

pic number two... another pic

Thanks to Charlie Watrous I now have a new Air-Way Signature Series vacuumm in my quickly growing collection. Thanks Charlie. I'm having lots of fun with my new toy. Here are a couple of pics... Mike

Charlie... That's one of the reasons I want to spend a day or so in Omaha before and after the convention. As I wrote in another thread on here, I want to check out some of Omaha's thrift stores and estate sales. As you and I were discussing, it seems some of the best finds come from Midwest...

Hey Fred... Amazing! Very nice. Charlie and I were discussing how amazing it is to still find so many vintage vacuums in mint condition. I'm also in shock at the NIB 1964 Maytag I saw on Automaticwasher.org. I can't recall who it belongs though. Too many pictures, too little time. Mike

Fred... That is a beautiful model G. It looks pristine! Which PN is that? It looks like a chrome cover.

Thanks Andy... You're a Miele dealer?!... we need to chat! I just bought the mini turbo brush yesterday from a newly discovered vacuum shop in San Mateo, California--AAA Vacuum and Sewing. They had a fantastic display of Mieles (no Royals), SEBOs and Riccars. The guy almost talked me into...

Hey Robb... I checked out one of your neighborhood vacuum shops today--AAA Vacuum & Sewing on South B Street. I talked at great length with Jose, who was very knowledgeable and nice by the way. He almost talked me into getting a Riccar upright. And, yes, there are two vacuums in my collection...

Thanks Morgan Thanks for the mini history lesson. I really like the looks of the Eureka canisters and they're very reminiscent of my childhood. Lots of fun. Mike

the miele Thanks for correcting me Keith. Yes, that's Miele's SEB236 Powerbrush. I meant that as a generic term, but realize with this group I need to pay closer attention to the details.

Morgan... Can you share more about that small, off-white Eureka canister. It looks very familiar and I'm interested to learn more about it. Thanks, Mike

Thanks Jeff I know this if off topic, but your comment about the Miehle reminded me of recent thread about the printing process. I think you and a few others were sharing stories about mimeograph machines. It reminded me of the mimeograph machines at the United Methodist Church and watching my...

Hey guys nice vacuums... That's it--the one I saw yesterday. Thanks for posting your pics. Fred, what a nice surprise from your coworker! And, it sounds like you lucked out too Tom. At some point, I need to get my first Hoover upright. The closest I've gotten to having one was the few we went...

Constellation I really like it too... I just think it's a really fun retro design. It was delivered yesterday, so I haven't used it very much. But, it does seem to have good suction. The power nozzle is air driven, so it's pretty light weight compared with the Miele. I got a good deal on it and...

Fred... I don't know if either you, Charlie or anyone in the group will be interested in it. As I wrote Charlie, the guy is asking $150 for it. I have no idea what it's worth, so I don't know if that's an insanely high price. Mike
