I have always had a personal preference for Buick, I grew up with Buick and Oldsmobile being an upper middle class kind of car, it was also a car that the clergy would favor so they could have the luxury since Clergy driving a Cadillac gives a bad impression. Also some of the older doctors would...

I still use a typewriter from time to time. I have a 1960s JCPenney Penncrest electric model (rebadged SCM Smith-Corona) I mostly use mine for addressing envelopes and typing up notes for my church fundraising meetings

Rob, I do think you were correct about that, as I'm also a huge Buick fan. I believe in the past we both had early 90s Centurys. I'm now in a 2000 Park Avenue for daily driving and a 2008 Lucerne CXL, both of which I really love.

Yes Rob, I am quite familiar with Tell City and their hard rock maple. My favorite finish is Andover # 48. My grandparents sold it through their furniture and appliance store along with century furniture and GE/Hotpoint. Tell City is a bit hard to find throughout the Pittsburgh area but it's out...

It looks like you guys had a great time. and, Rob what a lovely looking house filled with all of that fine Tell City maple furniture. Sam

As a very young child my mother got an Elite 200in early 1989, it was the one with the white hood. It was replaced in April 1994 with a Hoover Runabout like pictured above, except it had the headlight.

I personally have never had the desire to own a Keurig. I've dramk coffee from one and it was nothing extraordinary to me. I think it is all hype and a trendy product. I personally will stick with freshly ground Eight o' Clock or Gloria Jeans coffee perked in any of my electric percolators. My...

Matt, The suction with attachments on a guardsman is like a convertible, thus it has fairly weak suction that is only good for dusting and maybe light surface cleaning. Sam

In elementary school all the classrooms and the library had chestnut brown commercial carpet and the hallways were beige linoleum. They used at the time newer Hoover Conquests(late 80s-early 90s models) The elementary school was built in 1988 and I entered kindergarten in 1991. The high school...

I've had 2 PowerMax uprights, first was the Burgandy MOL model and it was a machine that saw lots of heavy use and had been passed around to different people in the family. The motor went out after 18 years of hard use. I now have a navy BOL model that has seen hardly any use and I love it. To...

That is a very nice Hoover Tristan, very amazing for $5. I hope you like it. BTW I like the table next to the Hoover in your pic, I have a 4 piece table set just like it in my game room Sam

Fred, In the picture of the room of uprights, is there any chance that you'd be selling the Hoover 1070? Sam

I too hate modern consumer goods Hans. my current daily driver vacs are a late 60s Hoover swingette and an early 80s Hoover Concept. I have no issue rotating my 1956 Citation and early Convertibles into use as well. In my kitchen I have a Corning electromatic percolator, a 1966 Osterizer...

I have a package of 3 bags for this machine that I have no use for

Like others here I would suggest an AerusLux. Another suggestion would be the Tristar, they seem very reliable, but not certain about tool storage or if it has an electric mini brush

A lot of our local. Businesses use regular non commercial vacuums, the funeral home has a Kirby Legend II, our church had a concept for 28 years was replaced with a commercial oreck for a year the. I replaced with another concept, the resturant I used to work at used a Hoover convertible 65 for...

To me the Hoover Concept is the best carpet cleaner ever, and it truly excells with deep pile carpet. They are very long lasting and durable. I have several and know a good many of people who still have them in service. Even our church had a Concept being used as a light commercial vacuum for 28...

Actually that blue Hoover Tristan likes is actually badged on the machine Hoover Deluxe Convertible. That would have been the first one introduced in that hood style prior to Hoover changing its name to Decade 80

Matt, Such a great question you ask. My fascination with vacuums like several of my passions stemmed from my childhood. I recall even as a baby my mother used to set me on the livingroom floor as she would vacuum, and I would always watch most intently as she vacuumed, there must have been...

NYCwriter, I'm located in Washington county about 30 minutes from the airport, and also about 30 minutes from the South Hills of Pittsburgh where there are some great higher end neighborhoods is Upper St. Clair, Mount Lebanon, and Bethel Park. I'm also about 40-45 minutes from downtown...
