    Improved Wardway

    History! <span style="font-size: 12pt;">I also love looking at this old stuff.  It documents the journey, the industrial evolution of the progression of vacuum cleaners.  Yep, all the way up to the disgusting, disposable plastic crap that is marketed today.</span>   <span style="font-size...

    1920's OHIO TUEC

    A thought, and a Request: <span style="font-size: 12pt;">A good friend who is very leary of electricity and less adventurous than I mentioned that he only plugs 'suspect' cleaners into a protected (fuse-protected)  electrical strip first which actually is a very reasonable way to 'check out' a...

    More Stuff from the "Reconditioned Electrolux Lady!"

    Stunning! <span style="font-size: 12pt;">What a gorgeous Model 'E'!  I see it has been 'accessorized' with a power nozzle port or outlet.  Neither of mine have had that salesman/dealer modification.   The PN1 Power Nozzle of course made its debut in 1957, a few years after the introduction of...

    VCCC Convention 2018

    Mike, Sniping, and unfounded gossip <span style="font-size: 12pt;">I, too, do not understand the harsh comments about Mike and so  I  unreservedly have to agree with Charles' comments/perspective.  Most everyone has their 'theory' about how to 'win' on E-bay;  mine initially focusing on exactly...

    2005 Convention and Venues <span style="font-size: 12pt;">The Los Angeles Convention was indeed another memorable one for the books!   Charles' was one of two very large collections that were generously shared, and his detailed, in depth display literally did document "50 Years of American...

    VCCC Convention 2018

    Is it just me, or.... <span style="font-size: 12pt;">...Has anyone noticed that one individual seems to be caught in the endless loop of a 1970's  8-Track, recanting the nauseating, misleading rhetoric of of a so-called 'convention' wannabe in Missouri that touts a no-membership, no...

    Recent Convention For those who have been unable to attend a VCCC Convention for a while, and the Tulsa Convention in particular, this years' VCCC Convention was one of the most enjoyable, pleasant, and drama-free conventions I've attended in recent years.  Unless I missed it, I am aware of...
