Hey Jimmy? <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Would you by any chance have any Westinghouse Twin-Fan uprights hanging around that warehouse of yours?  I have been looking for one for the longest time, but they're harder than hen's teeth to come by!  Of particular interest to me...

Hate the music, <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">love the video.  And I love my FloorMate!  This machine certainly does appear to be its predecessor.  I found the original film on the Internet Archive: it seems to be a little bit clearer there (and, it doesn't have that...

Oh boy, what a terrific weekend this was! <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">As always, another successful get-together at John's.  Good food, great camaraderie, loads of laughter, and HOOVERS!  And -- an unexpected and very delicious brunch at Mark & J.T.'s that was most...

Oh boy, what a terrific weekend it was!

Mark (vaccrazy) ... <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">IF there's not enough room at John's for me, then I may just take you up on your offer!  I have no problem with dogs, so long as they have no problems with me.  Looking forward to the 31st, meeting you and those whom I...

It's official - COUNT ME IN! <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">The weekend is cleared and -- weather permitting -- I'm free!  It'll be great to see everyone again, and to meet new friends as well!</span>   <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Bill W.</span>

Can I come? <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">I might be able to get to Pittston that weekend: I would just have to see if I can clear a couple things off my schedule for that weekend.  If it's okay with you, I'll check around and make sure I can clear it.</span>   <span...

My "holy grail" machines ... <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">1) A 1976 "Bicentennial" Hoover Convertible (sorry, I don't remember the model number)</span> <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">2) Any Westinghouse "Twin-Fan" style upright (similar to the...

Here's the link for the OEM bags <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">as promised.</span>   <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Bill W.</span> http://www.espares.co.uk/product/es660940/vacuum-cleaner-paper-bag---pack-of-5-e3n?SearchTerm=electrolux%20z345%20bags

This will probably be your best bet. <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">The Viking cleaners, as I'm sure you know, are the same as the Electrolux tank/cylinder cleaners that were widely sold in the UK.  Bags for these models are readily available from a variety of sellers over...

Boy, I wish I could have been there too! <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Looks like y'all had a spook-tacular time.  Well, there's always next year!</span>   <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Bill W.</span>

Oh, no <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Good Lord, I hope Hesco isn't out.  They were the company that I got started with when I was in the business: after I got out, I still bought parts from them from time to time for my current and vintage machines.  What was nice about...

Sounds like all had a great time! <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Sorry that I wasn't able to make it this year.  I DID, however, get to North Canton and the Hoover Historical Center for the first time!  Loved the tour.  John, thanks for making me think about that!  BTW --...

At first glance, <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">I thought Sir James was making another attempt into the realm of laundry products with some new variety of clothes dryer!  But this looks like it might be a pretty good product for homes that have lots of hard surfaces.  I...

Hi Thomas! <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">While I'm 50 and don't have Asperger's, I find that I'm the exact opposite of you in that I'm a big fan of British and European vacuums!  I have several in my collection, many of which I use on a semi-regular basis.  They...

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Welcome!</span>   <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Bill W.</span>

Interesting! <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">I've found a machine or two there as well, actually.  Most of my thrift store finds, however, either come from Amvets or Salvation Army.  Once in a while, I'll find some good ones at A+ over on Abbott Rd in South Buffalo or Habitat...

Nice find, Greg! <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Did you get that here in Buffalo, or down in Fla?</span>   <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Bill W.</span>

Well done, Charles! <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">That cleaner looks awesome!</span>   <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Bill W.</span>

Forgive me the bad joke but as one mole said to the other... <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">..."Gopher" it!  All kidding aside, Kirbys are excellent machines -- and that's a good price.  I don't think you'll regret it!</span>
