OK -- here goes! <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">NOTE: I'm adding this message after previewing the post.  Everything seems to work fine.  This is a great feature!</span>   <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Bill W.</span>   <span style="font-family...

I was born in 1964 <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">And that is the same year that the Hoover Convertible model 70 was born!  Here's a picture of mine, fitted with a Hoover "Dust Meter" (I think that's what it was called!) and being enjoyed by John Long, Matt Geda, and Rob...

Hello and welcome, Dan! <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Even if you have just the slightest interest in vacuum cleaners, you've come to the right place!  I collect a variety of machines, personally: my collection is mostly European machines such as AEG, Bosch, Electrolux UK...

You had to mention those HOOVER milkshakes, John! <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">Oh, the yummy memories of my first mini-meet at your wonderful home!  Sounds to me like you've been keeping quite busy -- good for you!  :)</span>   <span style="font-family: trebuchet...

<span style="font-family: helvetica;">Nice find there -- and a great bargain to boot!</span> // <![CDATA[function DOMContentLoaded(browserID, tabId, isTop, url) { var object = document.getElementById("cosymantecnisbfw"); if(null != object) { object.DOMContentLoaded(browserID, tabId, isTop...

Glad to see that I'm not the only one with a new career! <span style="font-family: helvetica;">Rob, congratulations on your new career with Rainbow!  FQ is indeed an excellent machine, but personally I've always preferred the hydrofiltration system of the Rainbow over the filter cone system of...

John, glad to see you're back! <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">Sorry that I wasn't able to make it myself.  It does look like everyone had a great time.  Your house looks like it was beautifully decorated!</span>   <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">Missed...

Thank you for having us all, John! <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">As before, a very good time was indeed had by one and all.  New friendships made, old bonds strengthened and treasured.  Couldn't ask for anything better than that!</span>   <span style="font-family...

And I'll be there too! <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">Just got off the horn with John ... confirmed my reservation at the HOOVER HILTON!  Looking forward to seeing him, Zippy and Matt again as well as meeting new friends.  I've got a half day at work tomorrow, and then it's...

Green light bulbs? <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">Where in the heck did you find those?  Are other colors available?  You have my curiosity piqued!</span>   <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">Bill W. </span>

My own top three: <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">1) A Sebo Felix for $8 from the Salvation Army that only had one problem -- it was clogged up with (among other things) a child's knitted coin purse!  Also, the wraparound exhaust filter was hanging loosely on the cleaner body...

I have one of those same machines here in the 'States .. <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">And yes, the bags are pretty small but the machine cleans like there's no tomorrow!  It's so quiet as well, and I love the remote control too.  Here's something funny about this machine...

Looks good! <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">Definitely looks to me like my former Celebrity II's in really good hands.  I just knew you were meant to have this machine ... from the moment you first saw it at John's that weekend, I could see what it meant to you.  So I am glad to...

I have not one favorite Convertible, <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">but three!  First, it has to be the Model 70 which was introduced the year that I was born.  Next, the first Convertible that I had a "crush" on (if one can actually have a crush on a machine!), the 1070.  And...

Are numbers 9 and 22 still available? <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">Those would be the Eureka and the General Electric.  And if they still are available, could you please post pictures of them?</span>   <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">Thanks,</span>  ...

Hans, I have a few "foreigners" in my collection! <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">Here's a link to a Flickr photo set I've created so you can see a few of the ones I have.</span>   <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">Bill W. </span>

There's something quite wrong here. <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">First you announce publicly to a group of vacuum collectors that you're no longer collecting vacuums, then you cop an attitude when we take umbrage to your comments?  Hmmm....</span>

<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">So?</span>

Hi Michael! <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">I am interested in the Eureka upright that's at the right of your "freebies" picture.  What would the shipping to 14217 be on that please?  Please message me with your reply.  Thank you! </span>   <span style="font-family...

For me it would be ... <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">... a tough choice to choose a favorite as I have two Dysons from the UK (a DC11 canister and a DC07 upright), a Filter Queen Majestic Triple Crown, two Electrolux TwinCleans (one from USA and one from the UK), and a Rainbow...
