So as promised, I shot a whole bunch of photos showing the revived Black and Decker Canister that I found in Petrolia during our mini meet last Sunday. After doing a quick scan of the whole deal, some things had to be found to make it semi-normal and complete. As you can see I was ableto save...

This was another find earlier in the fall just before Thanksgiving. It was at one of my downriver haunts, and looked pathetic and dirty on the base. The bag was what sold me becasue it was virtually spotless and unfrayed. which for the early twill eureka bags is VERY rare.... Check out the...

I found this guy the day after Christmas Friday Dec 26th, at a Goodwill that is known for NEVER putting out vacuums EVER!!! In fact i very seldom shop there but for whatever reason I got the *twingle* and I stopped. What did I find? Probably the nicest Convertible 707 in exsistence... Another...

So, I was given this machine by Jeff Parker many many moons ago. The zipper jammed, and broke, and the hood was kinda all scratched up. After finding a donor machine last fall, I was able to resurrect it as near to stock as possible without going into too much trouble... So here it is my...

After visiting at great length at the convention with Victor Lee, he happened to pass on to Marty Rocha that I've been pining after a Regina Canister for many many moons. After a few pleasant conversations back and forth, this is what this awesome man sent me.... As I unboxed it.... I was like...

Just prior to Christmas I had a very good longtime Miele customer call and ask If I could dispose of his mothers "old style' vacuum cleaner for him. Most of us have gotten that type of call before, and fear the worst beat up damaged Kirby, or a Hoover Convertible that's so banged up you cant...

So I happened to be perusing the "net" and noticed on one of my other forums I'm on concerning automobiles, that they found all these pictures that were originally used, or taken and archived by LIFE magazine. I decided to do a quite thourough search of the site, and found a quite interesting...

As usual I was sniffing around e-bay when I noticed this very intersting caption accompanied with a very "lofty" asking price. And muttering to myself.."It's a Bissell"... I looked over the within, and while it is comparatively rare, I'm feel rather dubious about the current asking price. And...

So, Over on www.automaticwasher.org , there was a thread concerning the old Frigidaire factory, and that it was slated for demolition. I mean it has not been used in a few years by G.M. and has recently, being empty been the victim of a fire. It made me want to find vacuum cleaner factories...

So, during a recent clean out of the bedroom, and moving the bed, I found under the headboard area my old digital camera, which was so bad I had to buy my newer Kodak model. BUT...Inside were some pictures that I took during my restoration of the Apex upright that I brought with me to the 2008...

So, Feeling good after finding the Eureka Golden Upright, I figured that I had time to hit one of my haunts in Westland before it closed at 9pm. They NEVER have any vacuum cleaners, but I figured what the hey....I'll stop, I was that close for it to not make sense to do so. As I walked in I...

This was a Craigslist find that only cost me $5.00. Yes I had to drive to Troy Michigan to buy it, but the highlight of that trip; such as it may be is that I saw the Rexair Headqarters on Big Beaver Road. I got this the Friday of Labor Day weekend. The second in line model down from the TOL...

So, I have a great mother. I've been blessed with a top notch gal. She has always looked for machines for me, and now that she's retired; she goes to PLENTY of estate sales. She hits up anything in the tri-county area from her house in Lansing. She calls me the Thursday before Labor Day and...

So, for anyone who knows me...I have a weakness for canister vacuums. Canister's, seem more powerful, can clean some things easier, gives you more stuff to play with and just seem cooler than uprights!!! CLEARLY I was asleep at the switch as this BEAUTIFUL PANASONIC "Jet-Flo" SPECIAL flew by my...

IIRC... There was some really big news years ago on the old forum about the "Haley's Comet" vacuum cleaner. I do not remember all the specifics, and although I feel it's a rip off of the Compact or Revelation brand of cleaners....I do remember the jingle that was I believe printed on the inside...
