    how to value my tornado shop vac

    . Tolivac I appreciate your opinions and advice. I didn't clean it up too much because I wanted to show it as is. I can and will work on it and make it look much nicer so it can be seen in a better light. Also I can't help the fact that it has no tools or hose. However I have been searching for...

    quotations.... Well for future reference, these are quotation marks; "bla bla bla". And when you use them, they imply the quotes of someone. Oh and I didn't ask you specifically for a quote or appraisal. It was an in general question.

    how to value my tornado shop vac

    haha! Ok electrolux-137...man are you bad as mis-quoting me. I never said "priceless antique" or "runs perfectly" nor did I say "fair condition" nor did I say "I don't want to sell or but I'm sure its priceless and you all have to agree with me". Now I don't mind constructive criticism and even...

    how to value my tornado shop vac

    true true but... I'm just saying I think its rare since I can't find another one. As I said before I challenge someone to find another. For fun. Also I agree that a shorter lived company with fewer productions could result in a more sought after vac, but its not completely backward logic. It...

    this is it What u see is what u get. No hose or attatchments. It shows normal wear but is in overall nice shape. There is minimal surface rust on the caster wheels.

    vintage tornado shop vacuum

    ss This tank is about 20-30 gallons and is stainless steel also. The rest is a softer kind of metal, but heavy. Once I find out the history on it I may be open to selling it but it won't be cheap. I love this thing. Remember the oreck commercial with the bowling ball? Well I think this one...

    vintage tornado shop vacuum

    Ya this thing is tough!. You can remove the motor and run it by itself. I've used it as a blower too by taking the dust bag off. It will just about twist your arm. It's very loud. Sounds and looks like a supercharger. And yes it was used in a woodshop by my grandfather. That's probably why its...
