Thanks, Everyone!
I sure gave this new Spirit of mine a workout last Friday... We had out of town company this weekend, and the house got a good cleaning. I absolutely loved using this cleaner. My only *tiny* gripe is that it's just kinda noisy. But other than that, it did a wonderful job! There's something wonderful about being able to use a cleaner you've put lots of time into!
Thanks, everyone for your nice compliments on the machine!
The neon Hoover sign actually came out of the Hoover store I used to work at in Milwaukee. When I got word that they were closing, I talked to my old boss and asked for a few things from the store. I got a few boxes of parts and repair manuals -- and I had also requested this sign. It needed a new transformer -- which was only like $70, and pretty easy to replace. I remember when I worked there, every time I walked past that sign on the outside, I thought "ugh, if only I could have one of these..."
While I'd rather the Hoover stores were still around; having the sign to which many memories and 5 wonderful years of employment are attached is a good consolation prize.
Here's the store with the sign in the window from Christmas one year... one of the only shots I have of the outside of the store.
