Super Sucker
Yes, I think Fantom went out of business about five years ago, and 99.9% of Fantoms were put into regular use, and not saved as collectors items. Occasionally, I'll find a Thunder or Fury thrown out in terrible shape. I did pick up a Lightning about a year ago that is totally intact, but someone cut the cord and I haven't gotten around to replacing it. I have a Thunder I bought at the flea market in 1997. According to the DOM, it was only a few months old and in excellent condition. I've used it about a half a dozen times since then. I found a Westinghouse Wired (Fantom Cyclone XT) about two months ago. I tried to swap collection bins with a Cyclone XT we had traded in at work, but no such luck. The tops are different. Has anybody here seen the movie "Super Sucker" with Jeff Daniels? They use modified Fantom Cyclone XT's.
