Was at my favorite vacuum shop in town today grabbing some belts. Been years since I was last in there. The guy is a big time collector and has hundreds and hundreds of old machines.
He told me today of the two new in box bisons he has. One green and one hammer tone. When he bought the hammer tone one his friend was demonstrating it in his shop. He plugged the machine in not knowing it was on and the knob turned all the way up. The machine took off across the floor and slammed into the wall knocking off the nozzle and breaking the housing apart. Pretty insane
