Love it

Looks like an awesome tome as always! Boy those vac take me back..IIRC the Singer was quite a big seller around here, but hard to find used. They were about $150.00 back then.Am I correct in thinking Eureka Style V can be used in those? Like the older Singer Total Cleaning System.

Actually Will the Sunbeam pulled 100" of suction lol.
Wow it's been a while since we did this, I had forgot about some of the pics.
My favorite pic is the group shot, I also like the one of the 2 rare early housekeepers together

Looks like you guys had a lot of

Fun!

Will, I really like that Connie.
Are you able to make a video of that vac?
I also really enjoyed the pics of the power Nozzels head to head with a paper towel roll?

Re Sunbeam Dual Deluxe!

That machine along with the Apex Strato Cleaner, have more suction and MUCH more airflow than 98% of whats built today.

IT WAS A BLAST!!!!!!!!

Will thanks for posting the pictures. We all had a fun time. I enjoy the group shot as well. Although, I never know what to do with my hands in pictures. LOL! Scott thanks again for the PowerMax. I really enjoy using the on-board tools. No need for ‘front’ or ‘rear’ conversions here. The PowerMax is a great vacuum.

Thanks again Barb, Scott and Dougald for hosting us.

brad i sure can make a video of the penncrest connie. not sure when ill do it, but i will. that vac has gotten lots of attention on vac boards on facebook. i know its extremely rare, and love vintage penney's stuff from the "funky p" era. i also have a penncrest electric timer and penncrest electric knife. also a 1973 penney's catalog. i love penney's private label stuff from 1963-1973.

john as you know from the other post about milwaukee yes i will be attending as a guest of sean. we'll be coming up in my 1984 country squire...
