Yup, that'd be me on that humid 90 degree day doing my second best Burt Reynolds Cosmo pose. It's flattering to be chosen as the representative of 'some people who collect vintage vacuum cleaners' but had I known I would have done my Mostest Best-est Burt Reynolds Cosmo pose.
Considering how much effort this dork put into purloining pictures you woulda thought he'd have gotten some accurate vacuum terminology through his thick skull.
Using my pictures doesn't bother me a bit but the third picture he's using is from Doug Smith's site. So, it does bother me that this Gary fellow has posted NO pictures of his own or what he allegedly has for sale. I'd probably write to correct and admonish but he really has no need to have my email address. Anyone else please feel free to castigate the dork for false visual advertising...and suggest he take some honest pictures of his own of what could be a rusted out, dented, scratched & gouged Rotted-o-matic.
Eureka - Super Roto-matic Model 910
115 V AC/DC 750 W Year: 1956 Price: $69.95
This Roto-matic and a White with Canton Red rubber trim & float ring 1963/64 Canadian Constellation model 438 were literally lying in a field covered in mud & weeds when I came across them. Pete seemed doubtful about saving them but I just had to. Along with a dusty old Filter Queen, The Viking 107, my first blue Monitor cylinder and that extra special turquoise plastic dog clipper hose that now graces one of the GE Roll-Easys. Yes, Sunday, October 07, 2007 was a great day.
Dave, who came home from local thrifting with some stuff today.
