    Love at First Sight...

    rugsucker: OMG !!! Traffic JAMS!! You called that one. We (Mom and I) were staying in Sevierville...one of her "time share" intro sales things...Country Vegas wasn't really our cup-o'-tea, but there is just so much more to see then tourist land. So, on Sunday we headed through Gatlinburg to an...

    Love at First Sight...

    I just logged back on to see if there were any responses...I have to say, I am still giddy about my new machine. I was just looking for attachments on EBay. I looked on the Tristar web page, but I am not that rich.... @ electromatik, I can understand your argument, and I know plastics are being...

    The Kirby Demo.

    Appologies Sorry to go off topic on your thread. I guess I misunderstood the thesis of the thread. Didn't realize it was a "How-To"...I thought it was more of a place to convey experiences. I understand if you have my comments removed!

    suckolux - Nice baby! Looks like a sweet one....to think, my mother was 10 years old when your mother bought that machine! Thanks for the tip about "Tristar" I will ask my local vacuum cleaner store about parts, and suggest the Tristar make. Are there any places online that people have found...

    Love at First Sight...

    I read some info that referred to it as "the pig" also...cute name, better if it were pink. It immediately made me want to fashion some ears and a snout for it... go Halloween special with it. Seriously though, I would really like to know if there are replacements still made, where to find...

    The Kirby Demo.

    I read a lot of this thread...honestly skimmed towards the end. It's perfectly calculated salesmanship! A testament to be sure. Anyone in sales needs to connect with their customer, make them feel safe, provide them with a product that feels like quality and service that is perceived as...

    Guess what i got!!

    What a cool thread to read. Especially since it is still receiving responses after such a long time. It is quite interesting to read about History Channel's lack of credibility. I can't stand watching many "docu-dramas" because of their crazy summaries. I just discovered the beauty of vintage...

    Love at First Sight...

    So based on the 20th edition being confirmed as made in 1957, my 23rd edition is a 1960...cool! I had no idea that teal was carried over into the '60s as a trendy color.

    Love at First Sight...

    I found this on EBay when I got home and started Googling (instead of ogling) my new prize.... I wish I could bid, but like I said, I already put the $14.99 on the demon credit card...I'm irresponsible, but only to a degree, lol...

    Mine sang better...to the tune of $14.99 and it was on the way home (no shipping) from the supermarket. Didn't even waste any gas to get it. I Adore the feet in the one you linked to....hehe, it has little blue balls for rollers!! Sweet!!!

    Love at First Sight...

    Did you ever just see something that made you heart race and your head twirl....sigh...??!!?? Well, I did today! I got off the credit cards two years ago, it was a wicked battle, but I keep one around for catastrophes and emergencies. Today qualified as neither. It was pure lust! Now, I'm not...
