There was a Dawn Davenport in the John Waters film "Female Trouble" LOL. My Grandmother always refered to the sofa or couch as the davenport, it was a Pullman sleeper,and she had a wool rug or something like it, all I know as a small child it was scratchy,she had a really old Hoover Upright that...

I just took them out of the car this morning and tested them in the garage and they both work fine the upright even has a belt thats not broken,they must just want to put the newer junk out and toss the rest,I'll post some pics,I need to charge my camera batteries. Mark

Hi Eric Meant to say yall,you and your boyfriend,maybe in the Fall when the weather is nicer,You will probably have lots of vacuums in no time,I Have quite a few but they are all over the place,a few need cleaning or fixing, was watching that Eureka Upright on e-bay also, also the green Kenmore...

Hi Eric I don't think Erving is too far,maybee we could have a mini vacuum meet here,your more than welcome to stay here,this next friday is the supercheap rummage sale at the Salvation army,lots of good stuff cheap. Mark

I was on my way back from doing errands and decided to stop at Goodwill,there were no vacuums in the front,I was looking at an old GE electric skillet when the gut from the back said I have a really nice grill that I'm bringing out,so I said do you have any vacuums back there,he said yes and...

Fabulous Eureka You don't see those around anymore especially in that new of condition, we have an old family owned hardware store thats going out of business after forty something years,they had bags for my Houskeeper Plus so I bought them all at 50 percent off,they had a lot of obsolete...

Concept Two I plugged it in outside since it was too filthy to bring inside,it seems to work fine except the speed control to raise the speed doesn't work,you can lower the speed and if you unplug it and plug it back in it will go back to the center,the contacts are probably dirty considering...

Sorry for the double post, one of these days I'll get a new computer that works right,or it might be the user LOL

Hi Alan,That makes three Corning Perks for me,two stovetops and the electric,haven't tryed it yet, It's just like the one we had growing up,it got replaced when the Mister Coffee came out. That was the lightest rummage sale haul yet,one time I filled the trunk and interior of my Volvo 240 and...

Junk in the trunk Good thing it only happens one time a month.

Thanks Alan, The thrift stores have gotten pricey,The Goodwill here always has vacuums priced 19.99 and under,but the Salvation Army is a different story,the vacs in the store are outragiously priced,but when they have way too much stuff they have an outside rummage sale and practically give the...

Nice finds guys Heres my three, The Green one is like the one I talked my Grandmother into buying when they first came out,I liked the blue ones better, like the one Eric found but they only had the green one in stock, I was about 16,It replaced a Dial-a-Matic, wish I still had that. Mark

Spares I like to have spares of most everything,my excuse for collecting,I like the FQ on the right it reminds me of my 80's chocolate and chrome model with that plastic trim that they added on the top,and it still has the older style exhaust cover, I bought it when my model 33 '65 vintage died...

Ultra Thanks for the feedback guys, It is basicly the same under the hood as any older Eureka except it takes style Z bags,I had to replace the fan,I used one from an older F&G upright,so the motor is probably the same, my friend across the street gave it to me,she takes exellent care of her...

Nice Kirbys That Tradition sure brings back memories, I worked at a Kirby Dealer when I was 14 from '79 to '82 doing all the repairs, I remember the Classic 3 and Traditions brand new out of the box. Mark

Was bored today and decided to try one of my vacs that I have never used,the thought of putting water into a metal appliance with no ground is kinda scary but I wanted to give it a try and I lived LOL,It does have a D4 dolly that fits perfect and a D4 hose,not the greatest suction,I used the air...
