Driving Bison? Like most of us, I am thinking/assuming this is going to a collector. However, the well-matched and upgraded bag, allowing for F&G-style throw-away bags would make it more user-friendly if it were in fact purchased to drive. I can't imagine anyone dealing with a Sani-Emptor...

Recent Bison Transaction Actually, the shipping was far less than that based on its actual destination but was generously waived due to its solid sales price. RB

Plasti-Vacs Hey Alan! I like that! I usually use the less specific term P.O.S. but in many cases, your term is perfect!! (Still, there are times when P.O.S. still does it more justice, I'd say!) Perhaps there is a way to expand one term or t'other!! (hybrid) (I am also a December dude) RB

He should be SLAPPED..... ....for treating a nice model 30 that way!! WHACK! RB

A warm welcome, Zachary, and... ....what a very kind offer. I am sure there are collectors looking for Canadian machines! You will enjoy it here! Rick

Clearly.... ....She needs another section of wand....or a HOOVER UPRIGHT! Nice Shoes :( Rick

and that model 28 has been relisted a few times Hi again, William Just my input, but if you're serious about owning a 28, I would wait for a really nice one. They are out there if you are patient and you will love it forever! They are timeless, Iconic, and historically significant...

I have to chime in on your 63 , too! Hi there! As Fred noted, that is a GORGEOUS 63/63 Ensemble. We WOULD like to know the story/history behind it if you know. I LOVE that entire series from the 62 through the 634, 29 inlcuded. Inquring minds want to know! RB

hose suction on Model 28 Hello William Well, even being a huge lover of most things Hoover including the iconic Hoover Model 28, I have to tell you the suction at the end of the hose (or even right off the converter) is pretty anemic! That said, it is still fun to have a comlete...

Really great acquisition, Rick! I'd like to place an order. Do you have an 800-number? RB

So your saying my F vac is an automatic E? Hi again. No, actually I am LOL right now! 'E-tank' was my attempt to refer to you (ElectroluxTank) but apparently, it was not as funny in 'print' as in my head!! The (last) cleaners you posted surely are model F's (AF's) The 'E' on the handle also...

E-tank Thanks for posting some variations of the plugs (Charles, too.) The 'middle' example/plug is an aftermarket plug by Electrolux; it actually comes apart for installation and was often installed by your friendly salesman though he probably tried to convince you to upgrade to a new machine...

the eternal, unending argument about collecting .... John, how very, VERY true! Still, it does make for rousing discussions. One or two people went nuts when a very nice/complete Pink GE Roll-Around went for $700 a number of years ago (seems like about 5) Yes, anything is at least...

Paging athanasius80 Hi there. I, too, live in O.C. E-mail me if you might care to talk or meet over coffee. We're practically neighbors! Rick

Rick-O-Matic! I'm fairly certain the Lux Rug Tool you are inquiring of is the original, 1937 (earliest) model 30 issue. Sounds like your Grandma took awesome care of her 30. I'll bet you miss it, but at least you experienced it!! Most people in those days really appreciated their machines...

WOW! Really great HOOVER AD...LOVED IT! This is definitely one I have not seen before and thoroughly enjoyed! Thanks for all the efforts and contributions that led to this and other fun, new material. Hoover Rocks! (and plastic vacuums shake!) Rick B

It's tickle tum tums time! Huh? :) Can you say that in public? Tanslation, please! Rick

Very nice find!! What a great find, Stephen! Looks to be in really excellent condition. Interesting that from a color standpoint, it looks to be a hybrid between our 41 and 42 cylinders or tanks; the bonze-y tan color being like the body of our 42, and that wonderful maroon/burgundy being...

I really love this 'Line-up' of Electrolux evolution but wish they had taken a bit more time and made it more accurate. Still, it's lots of fun to see the metmorphosis or progression. RB

Congrats! Obviously well cared for... What a nice find. Original bag, cawd, and plug, too! YAY!! Very nice. RB
