An EBay horror story..........(not).

[akabent]

Super-well packed.....

<span style="font-size: medium;">RW, that is beyond awesome, both that you have acquired this particular model (understanding its connection to your pre-adolescent days) AND that it had been appreciated and packed so well.</span>


<span style="font-size: medium;">By contrast, a not so dear woman (I was in contact) shipped me a Hoover Aero-dyne a few years back, neglecting to put so much as a frigging KLEENEX in the box for/as packing material.  Needless to say, and to her 'surprise', there were 'issues'.      "AND THEY WANT EQUALITY??"</span>


<span style="font-size: medium;">OK, bad Rick.  Very bad Rick!</span>

Wow -- that's some crazy awesome packaging! 


 


I've had many bad eBay shipping experiences -- and I usually send the seller a note before I send my payment, to ensure they package it properly.  Even after sending sellers a note, sometimes it just doesn't work, and it comes damaged -- or they use an entire roll of tape on the original box and put it through the mail...


 


Cool find -- I love following the progression of slight manufacturing changes! 


 


Hope you're well!

Wow that's awesome! I'm offended that you didn't rent a D-10 and take photos!

I realize everyone is totally bored with me

ABSOLUTLY NOT!

I have always enjoyed your posts of the restorations you have done and all the interesting information you have shared with us about the Universal company - and they were not even a brand that sold over here.

Its been great to see you posting again here and also over on AW with the brilliant job you did on the clock. I hope you will share your restoration of this "new" cleaner with us, along with any more treasures you find.

You have been much missed
