AirWay Wirl-A-Way Insector

[hygiene903]

Recently picked up a Wirl-A-Way Insector for my model 66 AirWay Sanitizor. It's in nice shape, and even had crystals in the jar and the original box with it. It will certainly never get used, but it does make my 66 a little more complete. Here's the ebay pic, I haven't taken one myself yet.

The whirl-away! I have one to match then77 from Ken Wagman. No crystals with mine, though...

Nice

Congrats Jeff. You keep at it finding missing pieces to your collection.

Oh wow, does it have any smell to it? I'd imagine opening the box it's pretty strong. Be careful with those crystals because they made them with a lot of noxious chemicals and pesticide back then.

Huskyvacs, it doesn't really have a smell to it, as the jar seems to be pretty well sealed. Most moth crystals used in vacuum cleaners back in the day were pure paradichlorobenzene, except Electro-Hygiene added a scant amount (0.4%) of formaldehyde to their deodorizing crystals, claiming that it "killed the germs in the air while you clean."
Thanks Les, that's what I'm working toward, making all my machines as complete as they can be.
Andy, I have a 77 too, and just last year I found an Attacha-Carrier and all the attachments I was missing for it, except the wands.
