    Miele Plus S251

    That's what I thought too Considering they had Dirt Devil bagless vacuums priced considerably higher.

    Miele Plus S251

    Hi everyone. I wasn't going to do it, but today I went thrifting and a Miele Plus S251 followed me home. I only paid $15 for it and it is in really nice shape. Is anybody familiar with this machine? I need to do the obvious such as replace filters and get bags for it. Any recommendations as...

    Finaly My Moms first vacuum I was given one,

    Only thing I remember about Moulinex was the La Machine. First food processor I ever saw. Here's a link to one. I was a kid then, and it kinda scared me. Joe http://www.ebay.com/itm/moulinex-la-machine-/231306374335?pt=Small_Kitchen_Appliances_US&hash=item35daef2cbf

    Weird Kirby week.

    My Sanitronic VII Has a sirocco bag, but the Kirby name is in loosely spaced ovals, like the pattern on the DS-80 bag. It must be a replacement, and I'm pretty sure it's a genuine Kirby bag because the tag on it has the Scott and Fetzer name and logo. Here are some pictures of it. This is...

    Upgrading my Mac (again)

    Photo apps I checked, and iPhoto is still on my MacBook after upgrading to Yosemite, and it still works.  The new photo app won't be released until early next year, and they will halt updates to both iPhoto and Aperture.

    Upgrading my Mac (again)

    Technically I shouldn't be able to run OS X Mavericks on my 2006 Mac Pro. Where there's a will there's a way. :-) left monitor is OS X Mavericks, right monitor is Windows 8.1 Update in a VM. Mac Pro has dual quad core Xeon processors and 24 GB of RAM. Windows VM is configured to use two...

    Upgrading my Mac (again)

    I haven't checked the Photo app yet. I'm running it on a mid 2007 MacBook Pro. So far it looks really good.

    Upgrading my Mac (again)

    So fae, so good. Install completed, and all is up and running. I use the following apps on my Mac: Office 365 VPN client VMware Fusion Groupwise client Novell Messanger FireFox browser Chrome browser. So far everything runs as expected. A pretty painless upgrade, and very good for a beta.

    Upgrading my Mac (again)

    I joined the Beta program for OS X Yosemite. I feel pretty comfortable installing Apple beta releases. Never really had any serious problems with them before. Can't wait to see what the new features are like.

    That is an awesome deal I built my Sentria from parts I bought off ebay and it was a heck of a lot more than $60.

    My first stereo

    I have a reel to reel tape deck It's a Magnavox.  Not the best, but not bad either.  I used to have a nice Sony deck several years ago.  I loved that thing.  I used to buy albums and record them to tape and put the album away.  I need a takeup reel and tape for my current machine.  I was hoping...

    My first stereo

    I have two Newcomb record players One is a tube type from the 60's and the other is a solid state stereo model from the 70's.  Newcomb,  Califone, and Audiotronics all pretty much used an Astatic 89T cartridge/stylus for the mono models.  This is a stereo compatible cartridge that allowed you...

    I need to take a second to brag on Aerus Electrolux customer service.

    I had a similar experience With Electrolux in the past.  When I lived in Beaver Falls in the late 80s, early 90s, I had a model Super J trade in I bought as is from a friend that ran a vacuum store.  The power nozzle needed repaired, and it didn't have the suction I thought it should have had. ...

    My first stereo

    I was trolling on Shop Goodwill a couple of weeks ago, and came across this Capehart stereo record player. This was the first stereo I ever had as a kid, and I've halfheartedly been keeping my eyes open for one, but never expected to find one. These are the listing pictures from the site I...
