So I am visiting family out of state. Had a chance to do some thrifting today. Picked up this pink Dormeyer blender. I just love the color! Cord needs replacing, but it does purr like a kitten.

I have always been fascinated with the Dial-A-Matic. Had one given to me by a friend of my moms when I was about 3 yrs old. Took it apart and of course at that age could not get it back together LOL I now have 4 of them. 2 trash finds, one .50 cents at a garage sale and another free from a...

A few weeks back I posted about a vintage vac coming up at an auction. Well the auction was today & I walked away with this treasure. Turns out it is a Frantz Premier, a rare find these days so I am told & from research. It is around 100 years old. It's kinda rough, but considering it's 100...

Thanks for posting the link Chris. I didn't realize that they had made it to the US already. I hve the original WT Air & love it. The body on this model looks chunkier than the older model I have.

Hey Bobby, I have that exact model. Mine was going to be tossed as well when one of our local vac shops was going out of business. I am sure you already know, but the base plastic is exremely brittle. In fact a couple of the screw posts on mine were broken where the screws had been put back in...

Gary, what small world as they say. Solomon is just east of here about 17 miles. Thanks for posting such great shots! That's such a clever lil vac. That's a nice one to have in your collection.

Gary, that's a neat find there. I haven't seen that before, but really like the look of it. Do you have an pics of the brush roll etc...?

Turbo Version Hey Nick nice Transformax! I have the yellow version w/ turbo nozzle. I think it's pretty nifty.

Thanks for the info Alex!

Photo #2 Here's the 2nd of the two pics.

Hey guys I am wondering what you can tell me about this vac? I haven't seen this one before. It appears that instead of a plug on the cord, it screws into a light socket. Obviously judging by that it's been around for quite some time, as well as the amount of "patina" it has. I have 2 pics I...

Thanks Aaron!! :)

Jason, I knew you would like the fact Ryan & I have matching machines!I was actually thinking that as I was buying this one. That was the biggest reason I bought it was to have matching machines. John, I can see that it's definitely built to last! Very solid & that cord could be used as a tow...

Here's today's thrift store find. A hoover Convertible Guardsman. I took it apart & cleaned it thoroughly. Also, oiled all the bearings. She needs some further TLC with a Magic Eraser & the metal polished up & she will be good to go.

YAY! I am glad to see your $5 find posts again Tristan!!Nice looking Santaire.I have the System Pro canister. I am including a link to a cord. Looks like should be the one. Couldn't find it on Good Vac or Hesco sites. http://www.totalvac.com/EXR-3025-1.html

Probably in the plastic compound. Alot of things have lead in them to this day. Extension cords, & christmas light strands to name a few. All have fine print warnings about washing your hands after handling.

Middle Hoover I love the middle model! It was the vacuum my mom had when I was born & is the vac that started my love of vacuums. My grandmother had the same model & bought one for my mom too. I would really like to find one for my collection someday.

I remember a similar model being sold in WalMart in the 80's with plastic wands & a headlight. Recently there was a discussion here about them. I believe someone said that they were made by Ryobi.
