    Parents new Rainbow

    Well my parents got talked into a new Rainbow. Honestly didn't know they had a new one since the blue e2   They seem to love it. My dad was hard to convince but likes the filtering with water.     How are these? They said the monthly payment plan is pretty astounding.

    It was a good weekend. Hoover 62 and 28

    Found an absolutely stunning near perfect Hoover 62 at the goodwill today. It just so happens to be formerly owned by another collector on the site. Looks hardly used. Incredible restoration job. Picked up my model 28 today with a new old stock cord. Can finally start the restoration.

    Free sentria found.

    Couldn't pass up the offer on a free Kirby sentria complete with attachments and shampooer. It was clogged up pretty good and is pretty tarnished and a few deep scratches. But hey why not.

    New find. Concept u3103

    Picked up this nice concept U3103 power drive today for $10. Looked pretty clean so figured why not. Little dirty but it will shine up nice. Slightly on the noiser side for a two speed concept I think but it's not too bad. Power drive works excellent.
