BMW Isetta Near Death Experience Nick, go to the Off-Topic forum for my Isetta tale. http://www.vacuumland.org/TD/THREADS/SANDBOX/1029.htm

Versatile I find it a fairly versatile design. ....and the aluminum cuts like butter. http://www.goodfirm.com/marksart/mark10/

Now we're really intersted. John, if you are thinking your machine is not an O, then we just have to know what it is! Do you have a friend or some way to post a picture - be fun to see it. Take care. P.S. I work with my hands, too. Click link: http://www.goodfirm.com/marksart

Elitists Awww, c'mon Charles. We were getting along very well, living in caves, hunting, fiddlin' with fire, trying out this "upright" thing, etc. Then, a group of elitists (monks, I think, during a candle lit slumber party) decided to cut us out by deciding we should communicate in writing...

About Schmidt What kind of hand vacuum cleaner was Jack Nicholson's character's wife using when she died?

Forgot Power Cord I forgot to put the power cord on for first pics. To make the holders, I drilled holes in handle and used blind "pop" rivets but instead of popping the pin off, I just squeezed the tool a little, then backed away, then clipped and bent the pins.

SudsMaster change thread Rich, regarding C.O.Y.O.T.E., let's move from "Vintage" and go to "Off-Topic" to be in keeping more with the design of this website.

SudsMaster - Northern California Rich, before Vietnam I studied in Monterey, after Vietnam (and finishing undergraduate work)I studied in San Francisco. Because of some journalistic work I did, my wife and I became VIPs at C.O.Y.O.T.E. functions. Enjoyed trips up the Sonoma Coast and camping...

Argyle Minivac Another shot.

Anyone ever seen this vac? http://www.goodfirm.com/marksart

Okay, improved Fairfax Helmet Rocket Warrior Fairfax Helmet, version 2

And another thing Be sure you have good light and note that on some machines a screw or bolt attaching trim or handle can be preventing the motor from moving back - so you need to remove or partially remove that screw to clear the way. Watch for falling nuts.

Kyle invited this (smile) So, what could Kyle (Vacuumkid3) be talking about? Hmmmmmmm. Gee, to be fair to the uninitiated I have provided a link that should explain everything (smile). Really, I am only doing this because Kyle referenced it (smile). BTW, this is not a commercial venture ------...

Helmet, Flying, Fairfax, Man's Charles Richard - I am not sure if you are aware that Fairfax motor covers were used in the development of helmets for early rocket warriors.

I know nothing. Charles - I was just razzin' ya - I have no idea/knowledge base to suggest what is original and what is not - for any machine. I am just a scrap metal outfit (smile). But if you want to make it prettier, I am sending the trimmings. Take care (and think "Omaha in the fall" - smile).

JetSetModern Charles-Richard, when you scroll down on the JetSetModern link below you get to your Firfax with the janky (smile) gray cord and, and, yikes!, and the lack of red bumper on the rolling pan. I had better fix that also. http://www.jetsetmodern.com/vacuum.htm

Charles - JetSetModern Charles, is that the Fairfax we are talking about on JetSetModern? Is that gray cord original? Geez, I better send you a red cord also. I couldn't find an 8 foot box for the hose so I will gently curl it like a cobra into a smaller box.

You got it. I am "remote" at present, but when I return to the office, I will arrange to get it to you.

Anyone need a red Fairfax hose?
