    poor old constellation destroyed by stupid guys

    Oops, Found Zeppelin Here is my other Universal. I plan to add three port holes, up and forward, on each side, about an inch or so in diameter. I don't konw what it will be, some space traveler, but I have given up on making a convincing zeppelin.

    Rick - Universal I note you like the Universal. Here is one of mine. I have another one that I had hoped could be a Zeppelin, but it keeps disappointing me and I have in mind another design makeover. http://www.goodfirm.com/marksart/mark8

    Rick, you're 50 years old! I mean only 50 years old - and you are acting like an old man. You admit you did it too, but you claim a loftier plateau by saying you didn't film it. Give me a break. You and I did't have You Tube, digital video cameras and the internet when we were doing our...

    "The Pit" Rex, You know how a kids grows up on a farm: House, barn,field of corn. Well, in my case it was once a farm, but in my youth it was a house, a body shop and a field of salvage cars and parts. ..and behind the body shop we had a small pit. Even very young, it was my job to take the...

    Thought I'd drop into the Goodwill

    Use a Reader Guy, get a muti media reader (very inexpensive these days) to plug into a usb port. Take the storage media out of the camera and plug it in to the reader and then using "my computer" park your pics in a folder on the HD - then using any old editor, look, size, fix, whatever and...

    Not a comment on society I would have used a bigger hammer (a long handled maul) and edited it down to about a minute. I do not think this video is a comment or illustration of where society was or where it is going. As an adolescent (over 40 years ago) I would put firecrackers in old model...

    Umbrella Stand Actually, I was thinking of turning it into an umbrella stand. You see, if I cut... Just kidding!!!!!!!! I hear y'all. I worked until noon this morning and then decided to go to South Omaha, a section of Omaha with heavy hispanic population. Very bright, very festive, the smell...

    Does anyone know anything about this machine? Also, is it okay if I destroy it or is it a keeper? I will post a couple more images.

    Hose Question, Lux1205

    Thanks, Doc Charles, the Roger Proehl Hose Test really answered my question. The hose is shot. So, like, do you think that is a major reason people throw out good vacs? Recall that I was given an old cannister once because the owner claimed it had quit working. In that case, I located a clog...

    Hose Question, Lux1205

    When I place my hand over the intake port of this $5 1205, the suction seems great. When I attach the hose, it seems marginal - yet the hose doesn't "seem" to have a clog. Is there something I should know about hoses. The issue might be moot if I cannibalize the unit, but I am here to learn.

    Lux 1205

    I was cruising a local thrift shop and encountered a pretty solid lux with nice hose and pn. In reviewing Dr. Lester's site on lux history, it appears to be a "middle" 1205. Is this a machine that should give me pause before cannibalization? I paid $5 for it.
