    Hoover U4171, quick ID help appreciated

    the style is correct but, I would picture it being a white Bag. Then they could have decided to make a hood to go with the bags ?? John is the man !! Ch in with him, if "You Got A Have A Hoover" !! Norm

    It's a Sanitaire Jim, but not as we know it...

    It's a darn shame that our Government leaders will not and do not find the money to keep a decent train system going in the US. If you don't have a car here, you either walking or maybe on a bus. Since flying has totally gone over the top !! Just my thoughts at the moment. Norm

    Favorite Pre-G Series Kirby?

    My D-80 is Number 1, then my Heritage II, like everything about each of them. Then maybe the new and unseen possibility as the 100th Anniversary model. If it turns out to be everthing we think it is suppose to be. Accourding to rumor !! Norm

    Auction this coming Sat in Berea, Ohio

    Why, are they there ? I have to ask, are they rejects and returns. What is the reason for the auction. I would have to agree with Pete, I'm only 2.5 hours away, just don't see the vintage vacs I'd like to see. Then I'm open to newer ones too. Norm
