Thanks Fred! <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">I remember that song too!  And I guarantee I couldn't get through it today without being seriously out of breath at the end!</span>   <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Hoover made this machine from '75 to '76...

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Thanks, Rob!</span>   <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Bill W.</span>

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Well, today I decided that I would stop into Savers, one of my favorite local thrift stores, on the way home from a congregational meeting at my church in Tonawanda.  And I have to say, it was a darn good thing that I did because I found one of...

Hi Lisa! <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Congrats on your find!  Those 1060's are really nice: I have one myself that's still in perfect condition, as well as a Convertible that's as old as I am -- and it's still running like brand new, too!</span>   <span...

If you have breathing difficulties, <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">I would avoid bagless vacuum cleaners like the bubonic plague if I were you!  You can talk about "hygienic bin emptying" features to me until you're cobalt in the face, but at the end of the day you still...

Hey Jimmy? <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Would you by any chance have any Westinghouse Twin-Fan uprights hanging around that warehouse of yours?  I have been looking for one for the longest time, but they're harder than hen's teeth to come by!  Of particular interest to me...

I have very eclectic tastes in music. <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Classical music calms me: jazz energizes me.  "Big Band" music, like Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, etc. is enjoyable anytime.  Long story short, I enjoy pretty much anything EXCEPT heavy metal or rap.</span>...

I love them too! <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Purex is my favorite brand: I prefer them over their liquid in my Samsung top-loader.  It's just so much easier to throw one or two pods in with the clothes and be done with it -- no measuring!  Gets me through my washday so...

Hate the music, <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">love the video.  And I love my FloorMate!  This machine certainly does appear to be its predecessor.  I found the original film on the Internet Archive: it seems to be a little bit clearer there (and, it doesn't have that...

Oh boy, what a terrific weekend this was! <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">As always, another successful get-together at John's.  Good food, great camaraderie, loads of laughter, and HOOVERS!  And -- an unexpected and very delicious brunch at Mark & J.T.'s that was most...

Oh boy, what a terrific weekend it was!

Mark (vaccrazy) ... <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">IF there's not enough room at John's for me, then I may just take you up on your offer!  I have no problem with dogs, so long as they have no problems with me.  Looking forward to the 31st, meeting you and those whom I...

It's official - COUNT ME IN! <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">The weekend is cleared and -- weather permitting -- I'm free!  It'll be great to see everyone again, and to meet new friends as well!</span>   <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Bill W.</span>

Can I come? <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">I might be able to get to Pittston that weekend: I would just have to see if I can clear a couple things off my schedule for that weekend.  If it's okay with you, I'll check around and make sure I can clear it.</span>   <span...

I just upgraded ... <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">I had been driving a 2008 Honda Civic LX for the last four years, and this past August I decided that it was time for a change.  So I bought my first Hyundai: a 2013 Sonata GLS.  It's a radical departure from everything I've...

My "holy grail" machines ... <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">1) A 1976 "Bicentennial" Hoover Convertible (sorry, I don't remember the model number)</span> <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">2) Any Westinghouse "Twin-Fan" style upright (similar to the...

Here's the link for the OEM bags <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">as promised.</span>   <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Bill W.</span> http://www.espares.co.uk/product/es660940/vacuum-cleaner-paper-bag---pack-of-5-e3n?SearchTerm=electrolux%20z345%20bags

This will probably be your best bet. <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">The Viking cleaners, as I'm sure you know, are the same as the Electrolux tank/cylinder cleaners that were widely sold in the UK.  Bags for these models are readily available from a variety of sellers over...

I have one of those! <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">And like you, Joe, I have a Keurig that I adore as well.  But I find that I'm using the Keurig less and less, and making coffee the "old-fashioned way" more and more.  Most of the time, I use a General Electric Brew Starter...

Good question! <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">However, I've done some research on the 'Net, and unfortunately, the answer is no -- even if you live in the Bay Area.  For you see, KABL no longer broadcasts over the airwaves ... they're strictly an internet only station.  When...
