Can anyone give some guidance on considering this Bissell pro heat , at an estate sale, for cleaning my carpets? Was it any good even new? I know there is a newer one, of course, at $230-280 but I am not in the market for that amount. I can't determine how old this is....i recall there was a...

oh man Jim, we need to compare notes on our comic collections!!!! I need to stop by and say hi next time in Pueblo!!!! I too collected comics from 1981 till about 1997....will a few aquisitions after that time Kelton

i check in here every 2 weeks now, or so,....used to be more than once a day! I don't actively collect anymore ( not against it but have most of what I sought after)....other things in life have taken priority. I still enjoy the posts though

jim. which comics do you collect? I am an inactive collector too

yes. this definitely smells like a 'skunk'. good detective work

@kloveland. I wasn't aware of any '2 speed coil". my 'buddy' who helped me modify mine ( in the link posted by someone else..) did most of the work. He is an old time Kirby technician and Never mentioned to me of any mod to make it like a Diamond edition other than what we did....It just cuts...

man. what a shame to lose so many old vacs....for parts at least. but, I understand the OP's plight.....

looks great, congrats!!!!!

the auction is at $21 currently , plus tax....I really wouldn't want to go higher if I was even going to get these....that Riccar has seems some use sheesh!!!!

I"m looking at an estate sale....found these...wondering how 'good' these might be since I don't know the brand/models well. Is that Riccar 500 one worth much? Is it a low level model? Hoover : thought it was a hard floor cleaner....but I see bags in the back of it....or are those likely for...
