Thanks Morgan! I'll try to post more info about the President later when I have a chance to get down to the shop. The hose to the 66 is still pretty airtight, though it has had a repair to one end. And, mayby it's just me, but I've always thought there was something sortof Brokeback Mountain-ish about that vac. Possibly the blue color makes one think of blue mountain skies, blue jeans, etc. Anyway, be back later with more info on the President. Trg
