Those that have and use a Floor Washer/Dryer love them. I have...um...4. Having seen one in ads here and at fellow collector's homes I went searching. At the time they began falling from the sky. First picture is from 2010. Other pictures show a replacement nozzle I made up from an obscure floor...

Yes Seamus, that's the 1954 first model and with the original hose, too. You lucky duck. Is it a Perrivale Constellation? And does it have the floater mofification to the base? Our Cana/US model 82 non-floater was manufactured, along with the floating mulberry 84 and Heather Rose 85, from...

Thank you Rick. for your kindness and remebrance.

Two thumbs up for this. Looking forward to laying my hands on one and will have to purchase, probably. It'll be a nice companion to my compact blue Hoover disinfecting canister steam cleaner ensemble. Some new stuff shows clever engineering and as advertised...

Yup, first affordable North AMERiCAN consumer car to feature fwd. Cord and others had it back in the late '20s & 30s. And then there's the Mini. came out in 1959 and ate Fiat, Messerscmidt/BMW Isetta and the Beetle for lunch.

Love the new Mini.Have a few dicests & such. Have the Dealership debut RC model as well. My first three cars were Minis through the 70 - 80s. A baby blue 1962 sliding window puddle-jumper, a Green 75 w 1275 cc, and lastly a Black de-seamed last of the Canadian model 1986 Cooper S. Good...

Chiming in here. I'm devoted to Subaru's. Many of the larger American autos - Ford, GM, Chrysler - I've driven and like very much (but they got no station wagons :-() Have no use for over-engineered, gimicky bloated cost European fad cars. For my size and needs, Subaru has the luxury and...

Could you children please confine yourselves to the Junior Forum?

MMM, yet another recent thread that belongs in the Junior Forum. And you wonder why the stalwarts are leaving?

I thought the same thing when the 'she' reference came up, as the OP had stated 'guy' and 'he'. I watched the videos and it was obviously an enthusiastic young'un of 13 or 15 (I hope not over 18). I was going to fire off something questioning the 'she' reference in this day & age of hopeful...

Thanks for the laugh, Brandon. I do have a FlowBee kit upstairs in a box somewhere. Nice bit of Vacuum Ephemera. Better yet, a few years ago I found a FlowBee Pet Groomer version in a secondhand store, in Turquoise, which provided a turquoise hose for one of my GE RollEasys. The other loooong...

Dang it, Alistair, Barrie is only 2.5 hours NW of me. That looks to be a museum quality set. Mmmmmm.... There's no longer any analogue broadcasting hereabouts but it would be a treat connecting it to a small DVD player running The Outer Limits Collection. :-)

Apps I continue to enjoy on XP Apps I continue to enjoy on XP. Oh, I know there are better out there but These I've been using for years, I'm familiar and quite proficient with them so have no need to upgrade. Mozilla Firefox & Thunderbird versions for both OSs Paint Shop Pro 6 - all visual...

Joe, I took your advice a few years ago and put Fusion/WinXP on my 17" Macbook Pro. For traveling purposes it lets me use my favorite older Windows programs for photos, video & general file sorting in Explore. Although I'm now well-versed in OSX I still find PC more Davy-friendly. After a...

What about 45s and LPs? I play 45s on this sweet little 1951 changer. RCA initially made this Bakelite accessory for direct connection to any of their radios with a phono input. The first were output only, the radio amp providing the signal boost power. Mine is the later version with a built in...

I've been snatching up 78's from Goodwill, Sally Ann and other thrift stores for years and finally got around to getting something decent to play them on besides a 1970's 4-speed changer. With space at a premium I figured I should have an Victor Orthophonic and an Edison Diamond Disk, since...

I give the Shark Rocket Ultralite two thumbs up. I got the Blue Rocket at Woodstock Walmart on Saturday. As advertised, $149.00. (versus $549 for the Dyson). As lovely as the Dyson is battery runtime is abysmally low. I like it a lot. With my somewhat limited strength these days it's the...

Value vs cost On a side note, I've become enamored of the Shark ROCKET Ultralite. I first saw it at Canadian Tire displayed beside the Dyson cordless DC62 stick vac. Widely available in Orange Tangerine, Walmart's is Azure Blue, which I much prefer. Both are cyclonic bagless hand-vacs with...

Alex, this is how I've done it - twice. Recently did one for my A-W DirtMasteR. Assuming the plug is complete detached from the cord, you want to first dribble oil (thin sew machine oil flows well - I would not use WD40) inside the plug at the cord end, then work more oil in and around the...

Very powerful vacuum. I have the same model. Came with the hose and a floor tool. Had no power cord so taking a cue from the pale blue hose coupler ring & carry strap handle I paired it up with various spare blue accessories. Used an appliance plug on a blue cord I had lying around, A...
