Craigslist rules!
Great finds Fred, you did a beautiful job on the FQ. I have the Princess III and it's been my daily driver canister since it came into my home. Now, being a Craigslist surfer myself, a few weeks ago I saw a listing for "vacuum cleaner-$10.00" and I thought it would just be another POS Dirt-Devil or something comparable. I was amazed to find it was a Hoover Junior model U1025, and it looked amazing in the pic. I emailed the seller and gave her my number and she called me back that evening. She said it was her mom's who recently went into extended care and it was just sitting in her closet taking up space. I told her I definitely wanted it, she was pleased, and then said she thought there was a box of attachments somewhere also and she would look for them. You can imagine my excitement at that point. I went the next day to pick it up and she had it all displayed in her foyer when I got there! I don't think the tools were ever used, and everything was in the box including the manual and sales receipt for $49.99 in 1978, even a packing slip! I'd never seen one in this color, creme with a butterscotchy colored plate and a plaid bag of the same. I found out from Jeff P. that this was probably the last issue of this machine in the U.S. So, I will continue surfing Craigslist, you just never know what's out there!
