    A Strange Kirby Classic Omega...

    If memory serves, Wasn't the Tradition the first Kirby with a 240v motor made for over there?  If so, then the motor in the Omega would have been replaced with a Tradition motor, since over here, those models share the same motor.

    Computer Woes

    I found a Miele at the thrift store. It is a model S251i Plus. Only paid $25 for it, but it came with a power nozzle, bare floor tool, and upholstery and crevice tools. It was filthy inside because the original owner used cheap generic bags and obviously one broke. Took it all apart and...
