When I sold D-3s In 82 and 83 we gave a set of Maxim knives, Carving knives.

So Sorry Ken Please take care of yourself, will be praying for you old friend.

I really miss Clay Floyd He was a vast world of knowledge about the vacuum business and companies, Being a Bison dealer , he actually saw the company in operation, Clay never sugarcoated anything, if he said something, you can bet it was true!

Tom is right! That rug tool cleans great,,,but it IS hard to push on some carpets, Love all my Compacts and Revelations.

Best Olds I ever had Was a 65 Ninety Eight Luxury Sedan...a friend had a new 80 something IROC and I out ran him...liked to embarrassed him to death...LOL, 360 horsepower will pull 4200 pounds,,,LOL

My main issue with them Is the noise factor, Kind of like a mid 60s Hotpoint dishwasher...it sounds like a chainsaw running.

I switch them out Fairly often, right now a 64 General Electric U-4 and a 62 General Electric swivel top.

as for healthy eating lol, you might not like my old fashioned Southern cooking...I use butter, lard and fat back...I believe in cooking as close to the way they did in the 50s, I make almost everything from scratch,,,bread, biscuits , pie crust, I use lard in pie crusts because nothing makes...

I actually have 2 stoves I use A 59 Westinghouse and a 65 Frigidaire, I do drive a car that is older but not ancient, a 2003 Grand Marquis Mercury, if money was no object my daily driver would be a DeSoto or Chrysler with fins and pushbuttons, I use a Hotpoint washer and dryer...1982...

I think you hit it And I hate almost anything NEW!!! I wont cook on a stove unless its 50 plus years old, all my cookware, appliances etc are 40 to 70 years old etc...I really have a phobia about new stuff, I equate plastic with cheap junk...

To each his own...BUT I use a straight suction canister about every day, uprights to groom the plush wall to wall carpet once a week or so..Usually a direct air machine, might not be modern but airflow is what cleans and nothing can move as much air as a open face fan..Right now im using a 1964...

Of course...I was born in 65! So I can barely remember my Aunt getting a new tan G in 68, I was 3 but I remember it, She had a Sunbeam before that...LOL I remember Swivel top GEs NEW in the stores, Regina Brush and Beats NEW,,,granted, I WAS very young but I remember them...The big downtown...

I think we all Have our opinions, sometimes I can be more forceful than I ought..Usually if I like something I love it and if I don't I hate it, Elites and Bravos, Regina Housekeepers and Dirt Devils were machines I remember new, I worked on many of them,that is why I hate them, just as I hate...

re lewyts are bad Not hardly, Lewyts were some of the best designed vacuums ever made, their power nozzle models had a bad track record but the straight suction machines were as good if not better than anything on the market, especially the big wheel models.

Well I never intended to be offensive,but I am blunt most of the time, let me say it like this, I do OWN a bunch of post 1970 vacuums, but to me they are just good machines to use, the post 1980 stuff is , to ME, not much, the quality was gone by this time.If anyone likes them, have at it, I...

I have a bunch Of those newer uprights I got from Mike Hays, I AM going to get rid of them, Elites, Innovations, etc

Im sorry but A Elite is NOT a vintage vacuum or will it ever be a collectable vacuum, Its a plastivac, it and a Eureka Bravo were some of the cheapest junk ever built....When I joined the VCCC in 1994 , we had a guideline for vintage....it had to be made before 1960, as for me I still hold to...

I am using A late 50s Kenwood Chef and a 53 General Mills mixer right now, and a 54 portable Oster, a Osterizer blender from 55, and on and on, I really have no use for anything new.

Yes we didI I worked in a vac shop in 82 and 83 and we sold Princess, Turbotronic, Panasonic and Air Way, I think the Princess changed to gray not long after I started, I was always sorry I didn't get one of them.
