ya gotta have a buffing machine

Hey, that's a very nice model XI Electrolux you have. I got an XI for my birthday from a fellow antique fan collectors association member. At the antique fan collectors convention this year, besides some old fans, I also took an XI that I've had for several years, that I believe the people who...

mine looks like about 1/4"

I have about 4 or 5 Omegas in my attic that are in one piece. I have several others that aren't.

the floor model is a C with the headlight, the one that's has the hose and shoulder strap, is model C without or missing the headlight.

I did use the shoulder strap. I carried the other around also, but it was quite a bit easier than when I went as a salesman years ago, lugging around a Kirby Classic! And besides- this year and last, it was on main street instead of all over the neighborhood! And when I say "dress warmly"...

It was in the low to mid 30's, so I had to dress warmly!

looks like fun, no?

No good can come of this...

I don't think I remember this setting...special model perhaps?

Whadaya know? I guess I was in the right place at the right time! A fellow AFCA(American Fan Collectors Association)member sent this to me!

Hey, Charles-Richard I forgot to tell ya, at the big antique fan collector meeting, I did stumble on a few vacs! One(which I've never even heard of), a Dual 50, and a Hoover Dustette, which I bought from the guy with the display table next to mine. Oh, and last Thursday night, we went to the...

Yo, Kyle! So ya into the old mean green machine?(Dual Sanitronic 80) I tell ya what, I have 2 of 'em! The one featured in the pic, and another in the attic. Let's chat and maybe we can figure somethin out!(I really only need one!)

It was an interesting weekend for me... I was in Wichita Kansas for the Fan Fair '06, which is the convention for the afca(American Fan Collectors Association), and I met a new friend! His name is Mitchell, and he is 6 years old. I had brought my war-torn Electrolux model 12 and a Kirby D80(a...
