This is my favorite Convertible There is a story behind it. After my Nona passed away, I was the oldest in the family, so responsibility fell on me to take care of a lot of things. Vacuuming was one of my many jobs. There used to be a vacuum store across the street from the bank my dad used...

Hoover kitchen appliances were made by other appliance makers and rebranded with the Hoover name. I have a Hoover percolator that is obviously a Presto Super Speed. I think Presto made a lot of Hoover's appliances.

Thanks John You inspired it from your avatar. I decided to stick with the yellow for my vintage Hoovers. Happy Easter!

These are my favorite I also have a Concept One I like a lot, but it doesn't match the color scheme of these. I have full attachments for them all except the Convertible. I need a hose for it, then I can share the rest of the attachments from the DAM.

My favorites are 1. Kirby Tradition because that was the current model when I started working for Kirby. 2. Classic Omega. I love the Rosewood trim. Beautiful when it's all buffed and shiney. 3. Sanitronic VII. First Kirby I ever traded in.

Or ... You can do as I did in the past and use an ice pick or an awl instead of buying a special tool. works just as well.

We here in the Central Valley Are in desperate need of rain and snow pack in the Sierra Nevadas. Last servey there was only 6.7 inches of snow, when by this time of year there should be multiple feet of snow. Going into fourth year of drought. Too bad you guys back east can't send some of...

I can't believe there are already two listings for the Avalir on eBay. Kirby sees them, I bet they won't be happy.

I have that model Mixer and I bought it brand new about 6 or 7 years ago. It was a model down from the Artisan, and skimped on a few features, such as the bowl not having a handle and no splash guard. Still a great mixer though. I chose it because on early Barefoot Contessa episodes, I saw...

I sold the Heritage when it was new, and I don't ever remember seeing that pack, let alone selling it.

I'll bet the teak veneered speakers are from the Nova line Radio Shak used to sell. Very nice speakers indeed. I had two pair of them, but they were stolen. Does anyone know what the replacement stylus is for the BSR mini changer? I have a Capehart stereo that has one, and need a new stylus...

I used to have a wasp problem and used my Rainbow D2 to get'em. Worked every time. Of couse, it took a little time to fill the pan, but the buggers always seemed to hang around long enough ...

This is the twin tub I used to have It's a Dexter twin tub wringer. Wish I still had it. Also used to have a Maytag wringer. It was a good machine too.

I have the same model I bought at a thrift shop last year for $30. Mine has the electric hose and a power nozzle, but it''s blue instead of red.

That sounds good. I hope it's true too.

That's true Windows 10 will be a free upgrade for users of Windows 7 and any version of Windows 8 for one year. After that, the jury is out. Popular belief is that Windows will move to a subscription based system like Office 365. If that's the case, then you will have to pay a yearly fee in...
