<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I just heard the news about Mark Thomas from a phone message from Billy Lipman. His passing, and that of David, were just very sad. I know David had some serious health challenges, but I did not know that Mark was...

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Wow, the site is off to a great start. Thanks for posting this. </span>

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">....and....I'm not sure where s/he gets the idea that it's the first bagless vacuum. Sure looks like it has a bag to me. Ridiculous price, pure silliness.</span>

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">By our very own Jimmy Martin.</span>

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Pretty clever. That is not that easy to do. Even without the vacuum, hula hoops take some skill and practice to stay "above ground".</span>

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Ours was a Hoover Model 28. I think it was purchased right after World War II. Lovely brown beast.</span>

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">So, wow, I just tested mine. It ranged between 15 to 20, averaging 18. You can do this at speedtest.net  I guess I DON'T need to upgrade to a higher speed! Hurrah! </span>   <span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica...

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I thought about doing this, too. But, when I pencilled it out, it was almost the same as what I pay for DISH now ($68). Though, I did include in that calculation, a ROKU 3 device (I think it's $10 a month, plus the cost of purchase...

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Brandon - Wow, your collection is beautiful!</span>

'Scuse me <span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">NOT one of Jimmy Martin's....</span>

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The "floor" on this one is $320. One hour left to go, with 18 bids in. This is going to be interesting. Jimmy Martin stands to make a mint on this one. This machine style has always fascinated me. Good luck to whoever gets it. I...

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Happy Birthday, Hoover. Thanks, John.</span>

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Very nice.</span>

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Lovely.</span>

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Robert - I think I have a bumper for your Model 300, if you would like it. I need to FIND it first, though....John</span>

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">What great pictures, Will. Thanks for posting them. The adventure at Fred's looked like fun. I'm sorry I missed the convention. It was wonderful to see Ruth Hollander's pictures, too.</span>

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I am not sure where that device would be located on the machine - maybe down on the motor housing near the wheels? I've never seen either model in person. Does anyone else have any knowledge of either model?</span>

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">As the cleaning article details, there is an indicator bar on the Westinghouse that warns you of problems with the bag. Does yours have anything like that? In the Crisco sweepstakes ad, it is called the Servi-Sentinel, a device...

Here's the cleaning article, showing the Westinghouse <span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">There's also a shot of the Hoover Model 26, and the General Electric DeLuxe, and a Cadillac upright.</span>

Here are some pictures of a similar model <span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">What I found were two references to what appears to be the same model (#RDA-3). One is a Crisco sweepstakes contest, which gave away 1,200 Westinghouse upright cleaners (!). This contest...
