Look what the Fed Ex man brought last week from Roger in AZ! I love my Vita-Mix blender and always thought it was kind of strange they got into vacuums but this Air-Way built version was gnawing at me - you all know how it goes - "you should have the whole set....you should have the matching...

We took a trip up to Minneapolis last weekend to visit our very own webMaster(s) and had some good luck at the estate sales, as we usually do. Both Fred and I found Hoovers at one house, a very nice model 28 and a 68 Convertible.

I've been playing with my new scanning in the last week or so and I don't have many vacuum goodies in my literature, I had these. Hope you enjoy and everyone has a safe and fun holiday weekend!

I've had these pics on my camera for a couple of weeks now so it's show and tell time today - finally! I found this at a local shop that is closing up after 44 years in business. This was on a shelf for display and missing it's bottom plate. I finally asked about it and was told I could have it...

Well, except a Compact and this one. I couldn't pass it by - it was just too mint! I stopped at an estate sale today and found this beautiful Lux 1205. I haven't touched it, just brought it in the house for a quick photo shoot. I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't bring in any more vacs...

I found this Kenmore Duo-Power vacuum last week at an estate sale and grabbed it because it was in such nice condition. There's barely a mark on it and it's complete with all it's tools. The brushroll has a small chunk out of the wood roller so it's rather noisy and vibrates when running but...

I saw an ad for this central vac on Craigslist and finally was able to get with the owner to pick it up. It's a Broan and appears to have little use. The dirt pan had very little dirt inside and the cloth filter wasn't too dusty. The seller told me they were redoing the house after recently...

I snagged a Spring and Summer 1960 Sears catalog on Ebay last week so I did some scanning from the pages of beautiful offerings. 3rd Floor, Vacuum cleaners, floor polishers and accessories!

and onto a carpet - near me!

I brought this vacuum home today from a sale - in very nice shape for it's age. The book is dated 1979 - but it definitely has an 80's look with the almond and brown. The chrome is very bright and really makes it sparkle. I used it on the wood floors and rugs upstairs tonight and other than...

I found this Hoover model 26 at a sale on Sunday. I brought it home, shook out the original bag and wiped it down quickly for the photo-op, pretty nice machine!

I haven't posted pics of my estate sale finds lately so I'll jam it all into one thread now... This is a well cared for 1060 I found a few weeks ago, but it's been 'jacked a little bit in it's overhauls:

I found this vacuum a couple of weeks ago and just listed it on ebay tonight. I thought I would post some pics here and I will scan the owner's manual for Fred to post on the site since it is an unusual find. I have never seen one of these in person before, only pictures, but it's a very...

I found a Sanitaire at the thrift shop about a year ago and used it for a while but got frustrated with it because no matter what I did or what belts I used, the beater bar kept stopping on most any carpet. A while back I ordered parts from Hesco and replaced the fan and pulley/shaft. You can...

What could it be?

I went to an estate sale today and found this hiding in a corner behind a $25 price tag. It's in beautiful condition and only needed a quick cleaning. I've wanted one of these Compact/Tri-Star machines for sometime, glad I held out for a long time so it was fun to find one in such nice shape...
