This machine was down the street. I presume they are a dime a dozed - especially with the pretty bag.

Does anyone know anything about this machine? Also, is it okay if I destroy it or is it a keeper? I will post a couple more images.

When I place my hand over the intake port of this $5 1205, the suction seems great. When I attach the hose, it seems marginal - yet the hose doesn't "seem" to have a clog. Is there something I should know about hoses. The issue might be moot if I cannibalize the unit, but I am here to learn.

I was cruising a local thrift shop and encountered a pretty solid lux with nice hose and pn. In reviewing Dr. Lester's site on lux history, it appears to be a "middle" 1205. Is this a machine that should give me pause before cannibalization? I paid $5 for it.

Anyone ever seen this vac? http://www.goodfirm.com/marksart

Anyone need a red Fairfax hose?

Look what walked in. Has anyone ever heard of this machine?

Work In Progress: I have trashed an old Universal with an eye toward a space type attack Zeppelin. Am fiddlin' with proper placement of outboard engines. Advice always appreciated (and often ignored).

I was digging through my stuff for a zeppelin gondola when I came across a raggy Interstate Manufacturing box. I think it unlikely that I will have any need of these items and would be honored to send them to a good home.

Normally this time of year I pay no mind to packages that arrive and simply take them home to my wife because she likes the convenience of having on line purchases shipped to my office. One arrived on Friday that was different. The box was recycled, rebuilt and clearly different. I still just...

I am posting this query here because of machine age confusion/etiquette, but am looking for a green torso for large robot -- explained better in thread below on the vintage side. Thoughts? http://www.vacuumland.org/TD/THREADS/VINTAGE/466.htm

I have the head and all of the limbs for the robot I am building (see link below for "work in progress") and, as it turns out, I seem to have a green/turquoise theme going on. The pelvis and head will be chrome. But after seeing Derreck's Eureka in Thread #456, I am wondering if I should use...

I posted this back in the VacWeb days - but, for fun, can anyone identify this very rare machine? (P.S. if you really know, hold off and let others try a little - smile).

I maintain a holiday gift list for my family and need a recommendation for a cordless small vac for table crumbs and for food scraps in my youngest grandson's high chair. I don't think he is eating as much as it might appear. Appreciate your words of wisdom.

Here is the first image of a robot I am building - literally from the ground up. Compact feet (thank you, Byron O'Dowd), Air-Way 88 lower legs. The thighs will be another pair of compacts. Then, then - stay tuned. Note, this Robot will be very tall and "posable" the ankles rotate and hinge...

I have a Hoover Model 28 bakelite motor cover if anyone needs one. I also have a Hoover 28 with cover (but no handle). Just left over stuff. Y'alls for the asking (and shipping). http://www.goodfirm.com/marksart

Our neighborhood business committee sponsored a "Boo Bash" on Saturday and encouraged costumed kids to trick or treat at the participating businesses. I "dressed up" and had my Kirby G3 (with Tech Drive) "at the ready". I asked many of the trick or treaters if they would like candy or would like...

Any thought regarding what bag would fit this machine? http:///www.goodfirm.com/marksart

Is this a fairly uncommon machine? http://www.goodfirm.com/marksart

People tend to leave interesting artifacts with me because of my visibility as an assemblage sculptor -- some time ago, a client with limited (if any) means partially paid a fee (smile) with a pump from an iron lung. Anyway, when polio first hit hard and iron lungs were needed in a hurry...
