    Older wiring

    wow....aluminum! I remember hearing the electricians in the basement.  "It's a wonder the damn place didn't burn down by now".   This place is 140 yrs old.  When you tell the insurance agent, they usually respond, "Oh GOD". But, the furnace (3rd different system, coal, oil, now gas)...

    1990s Buicks (Regal,Skylark, Ultra,etc)

    My aunt replaced her Lincoln Town Car (2nd) with a Buick.  I drove it a lot...liked it.   My late father was an "Olds" guy. LOVED them.  After one was totaled in a near-fatal accident, he bought his next one over the phone. Then, he took a bus to the dealer and drove it home.

    What is the “What Were They Thinking?!” Product of the vacuum world?

    But, really, don't hold back! looolol True, The "Z" wasn't Hoover's finest hour.  But, I have one, used only twice at minimeets.  They do work. BUT,  they are loud, clumsy, etc.... They were geared toward "MEN"... But, one should have one in their collection.

    Looking for advice on value of Dial-a-matic and Elektrikbroom

    Hillary, Yes, nice machines!   To have the Dial A Matic, with GENUINE belts, and tools WITH the box and manual is a nice find!  Shipping could be rough, but..decent prices, indeed.  Best of luck with that!

    Singer vacuums

    I was wondering,  are the serial numbers on Singer vacuums read the same as Hoovers?  For instance, how would I read them?  I'm trying to figure some out .  My aunt taught for Singer, and always had a S Vac...until she got her Hoover 1076! Any info?  Many thanks.
