Hey Pete! Trip home took a little longer than intended...


The only place Pete & I didn't make it to is the massive junk barn place in Petrolia, which is on my way east...sorta. Since it was 3:30 when I pulled out of the driveway (left the dead, I mean discharged, battery camera behind and had to dash back for it), I figured I'd drive straight home to play with stuff.


Pete, as I passed the Petrolia exit the car just steered itself to the right and...found the place easily by the railroad station. Glad I stopped by because...


First, with all the talk about Fantoms I noticed this Fury with metallic green accents half buried in a snow pile and froxen to the ground. After scouring the inside buildings wher I found more neat stuff, I examined it and decided to free it from the ice. The guy had a newer looking Fantom in scratched up shape inside the store for $35. This frozen one seems to be all there, triple extending aluminum wand & hose great, rubber canister gaskets in good shape, Clean (new?) HEPA filter cartridge installed and it runs-ish.


So I got it for $5 to dry it out, reassemble it and see what all the Fantom Fuss is about. It also appealed to me as a demonstrator because it is narrower and lighter than the Fantom I fixed for Lena a few months back. Please forgive me, Vintage Metal Gawds.
