Jack,
about the cost difference between an Elite and an Oreck.
I believe a BOL Oreck is like $299 or some where around that price.
An Elite 200(like your turbolite) was I think $59 or $69 and you could get a better model for $99 and I think as time went on there were a few models that were around $120 or so.
Corey,
Awesome collection, Nice variety of Hoovers.
Email me sometime, I would love to talk to you about vacs sometime
