    Robot Project - Sneak Preview

    Head and body? Greg, Actually, the head is where I started (maybe won't I.D. it until we get there) - so I have that. I also have the arm bones & joints - will need some flller. The torso, however, is still undecided/undiscovered but it is amazing, in my experience, how that stuff just happens...

    Very Rare Mystery Mini Vac

    Music Changed Charles, of course you are right. I have changed the music to this Robot Birthing Video as per your suggestion. The old version is gone and replaced (same link as below) http://www.goodfirm.com/movies/RobotBirth.mpg

    Very Rare Mystery Mini Vac

    Charles I used this awful "smart music" before rendering. So, like, are you offering some Theremin music? I would be honored.

    Very Rare Mystery Mini Vac

    It's Birth Maybe a 10mg video (a minute or so)of its birth might help. Click on the link below for the birthing movie. http://www.goodfirm.com/movies/RobotBirth.mpg

    Very Rare Mystery Mini Vac

    I posted this back in the VacWeb days - but, for fun, can anyone identify this very rare machine? (P.S. if you really know, hold off and let others try a little - smile).

    Cordless Hand Vac

    I maintain a holiday gift list for my family and need a recommendation for a cordless small vac for table crumbs and for food scraps in my youngest grandson's high chair. I don't think he is eating as much as it might appear. Appreciate your words of wisdom.

    Robot Project - Sneak Preview

    Here is the first image of a robot I am building - literally from the ground up. Compact feet (thank you, Byron O'Dowd), Air-Way 88 lower legs. The thighs will be another pair of compacts. Then, then - stay tuned. Note, this Robot will be very tall and "posable" the ankles rotate and hinge...

    Handy Way

    Tom, the attachments are Yours Tom, sorry so late to respond to your post - frankly, I missed it pure and simple. In a way, I am sort of glad I did because if I had seen it earlier I would have been in a devil of a quandry about whether to cut it up or not. ...and then Karl is ragging me (I...

    Handy Way

    Purist - Give me a Break Leave aside the Handy-Way, People have been giving me vintage vacs for years. And the most I have ever paid for one is $25 (and that was as a favor to the seller - usually it is $0 to $15). That's the market value, for an incomplete machine and for most machines with a...

    Handy Way

    Karl doesn't like my assemblages! I'm crushed. Karl, so, like, how much would you pay for the Handy Way? If I encounter an "interesting" machine, I let the club know - so I don't "carve up" something pretty special. No one bit on the Handy Way -- (and when a member wants something I encounter...

    Destruction Status: I removed the motor and other internals. I cut the canister about 5 inches shorter. I cut off the hose attachment collar and cut the remaining hole larger and off center. I am locating other parts and hope to start assembly of (you have to guess) soon...

    Hoover Model 28

    Reply to David Send me shipping instructions "off thread". I have a cover for you. However, the holes that play the female role in connection with the pegs at the back have a little of the bakelite broken off (like two tabs broken off) but inboard and down so the damage is not visible and, as...

    Hoover Model 28

    WillCo - Charles I have one cellulose lens but it is yellowed a little, a little crack and a chip - I will handle it carefully. I do not have a brush roller but I do have the bottom plate. I need to run now, but please send me an email "off-thread" with shipping instructions.
