Hans, I have a few "foreigners" in my collection! <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">Here's a link to a Flickr photo set I've created so you can see a few of the ones I have.</span>   <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">Bill W. </span>

There's something quite wrong here. <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">First you announce publicly to a group of vacuum collectors that you're no longer collecting vacuums, then you cop an attitude when we take umbrage to your comments?  Hmmm....</span>

<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">So?</span>

Hi Michael! <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">I am interested in the Eureka upright that's at the right of your "freebies" picture.  What would the shipping to 14217 be on that please?  Please message me with your reply.  Thank you! </span>   <span style="font-family...

For me it would be ... <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">... a tough choice to choose a favorite as I have two Dysons from the UK (a DC11 canister and a DC07 upright), a Filter Queen Majestic Triple Crown, two Electrolux TwinCleans (one from USA and one from the UK), and a Rainbow...

John ... <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">Excellent pictures!  I so enjoy seeing the photographic output of your journeys to North Canton ... makes me wish I had an extra week of vacation so I could meet you there!  Hopefully one of these days I'll get to visit the Hoover museum...

If you have any from the '70s in there, <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">I'd be interested, John.  In particular, I have some 2000-series models such as the 2042D, the 2072A, and 2090A that I'd like to have the service manuals for.  If you've got 'em, can you shoot me a quick...

Oy vey ... <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">Methinks time to go back to the broom, when terrorists start designing vacuums. </span>

Love that shirt, John! <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">And Murphy's looking as handsome as ever.  Give my best to him and to Arthur also, please!  Meantime, glad to hear that you had such a great time at the convention ... I'm looking forward to next year in Cleveland, which...

Moulinex Powerclean <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">Thanks for mentioning my video, Nar!  That is one of my favorite non-Electrolux cylinders, might I say.  I got it on eBay from Germany, which might have something to do with the unusual wands that you mentioned.</span>  ...

Way to go, Rob! <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">Glad to hear that you're doing well with Filter Queen and that you had such fun at our get-together.  I'm really looking forward to our next gathering ... whenever it may be.  I'm writing this from Knoxville, TN, BTW ... enjoying...

<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">Thanks Bobby!  I'm going to have to start doing them again.  It's been a while since I've made any, and I have some new machines to make videos of -- especially some of my recent European acquisitions!</span>

And that's it. <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">Again, a great time truly was had by all.  I look forward with much anticipation to having the PA contingent here to Buffalo sometime: until then, many thanks to John, Rob, and Matt for the hospitality, camaraderie, laughs, and just...

If I'm not mistook, <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">'twas the first time that Rob ever had a malted milkshake!</span>

Soon, Matt had to depart <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">and the three of us had the best nightcap one could ever have ... HOOVER Milkshakes!</span>

In fact, <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">they were just a LITTLE too much for Matt to handle!  (The nice thing is, it wasn't the HOOVER that got HOSED.) </span>

The Dirt Meter results were <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">quite surprising!</span>

I don't know why, but <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">at some point in the night Matt had to handle the "foreign entity" (aka the Filter Queen).  As you'll see, he did it quite cautiously ...</span>

and Rob <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">started giving his Filter Queen Majestic a workout.</span>

After we enjoyed our dinner, <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">we got down to some serious HOOVERING.  Rob (aka "Zippy") arrived with his Filter Queen in tow.  John brought out his Hoover Dirt Meter, and we began having some real FUN!  Matt started cleaning with John's brand-new...
