    Huh..... That was done in Lawrence Kansas, at the University of Kansas AKA: KU..lol.....Cool, that had some history to that.

    Finally got my GE Stereo moved..

    I love a good working Garrard changer, I have a automatic laboratory series that use for my delicate 78's from the 40's. Since my Zenith Allegro has a BSR changer, i don't like using it for 78's that are delicate and brittle....The Garrard handles them with great care....thats the nice thing...

    Eureka Self Propelled Vacuum

    i just googled pics...... and i found this one also with the early vinyl bag in the TOL rust model. Notice the switch in the base next to the Regulator.

    Eureka Self Propelled Vacuum

    Kool...... I have that model, and almost the whole first set, mine is dated 1983 i think.....yours is the same as mine which is from later in the run. You might have noticed that the labels on the top of the hood, and around the Rugulator are rough and textured. The first of these had smooth...

    vacuums in kids books
