LOL ... ... actually it came with a complete set of what appeared to be barely-used attachments in their original box!

And Mike ... ... yes it IS a Kenwood setup. 1975 amp, tuner, and tape deck. 1967 Garrard 40 MKII turntable. 1983 Advent speakers.

Only one problem ... The plastic handle wobbles a bit inside the metal arm. Anyone know how to remedy that problem?

Just got it from a guy on eBay who did a phenomenal job in restoring it (even including an adapted bag for disposable inserts). I had forgotten what a REAL machine sounds like! I had forgotten about those "tracks" left in the rug! 17 years of using a Fantom (and yes, most recently even...

Hey Guido ... ... you wanna lay off? I realize it may not be to everyone's taste, but it IS someone's work of art. Someone worked very hard on that and chose to share it with the community. Frankly, I prefer chrome, but I think he did an amazing job with the flag design and it looks pretty...

SOME of us will ... "sadly someone WON'T just give you something that you want especially with free shipping. that machine is kinda big and bulky and will require some packing." I would. I have a Fantom Thunder that's still in perfect working order that I need to get rid of, but I want it to...

Actually ... … what *I* think is "showing off" is bragging about how you procured a rare vacuum for "nothing". Much as we wish we did, some of us simply do not have the time or the flexibility to devote to the "hunt" that some of you apparently do. Nor do we have the space or resources (or...

I remember these! MMMM! The smell of chalk dust on a cold October day ...

How do you guys ... ... who use vacs like these as daily drivers, deal with the dust issue of the shake-out bags? Meaning, the increased dust output while vacuuming (those things aren't HEPA filters, after all). And how do you keep the bags from getting smelly? Very curious here.

Even if it was just $60 ... ... in 1974, that would still be $275.52 in today's dollars.

"Only $80"?? In 1974 (which is presumably the year of manufacture for this model), $80, adjusted for inflation, would be $367 today.

If she's looking for "rugged" ... "I know when handling an upright Vacuum mum will treat it like the old 1960's Hoover Senior we had when I was a kid, i.e. it might have to be rugged !" She may be disappointed with just about anything in that price range, unfortunately.

Benny ... "...despite all the UK comedy shows which have been enjoyed by those in the USA, few seem able to visualise just how small the rooms in many UK homes are." Same here for New York City-based shows. "Friends", "Seinfeld", and "Mad About You" immediately come to mind. Now, back in the...

Dan ... "But it still is a good old Electrolux to me..." Same here. :)

Chris ... ... are you saying the Aerus Lux Guardian Platinum is not available in the UK??

If you have a pet ... … don't even consider a vac that doesn't include its own ELECTRIC powered upholstery brush. The "air turbine" brushes are a joke.

Spotted this on eBay. A bit pricey, but how rare is it to find one of these NEVER USED?? http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-HOOVER-CONVERTIBLE-VACUUM-CLEANER-NEW-/181293863174?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a35f4d106

The big drawback of the Sebos ... … is their lack of a headlight.

Too bad ... ... there's no headlight on that Sanitaire.

LOL ... ... I keep forgetting how old I really am, hearing about how some of us "grew up" with Fantoms!
