[vac-o-matic]

I have been salivating over this offering since it appeared. I have never seen one of these in print or in real life. I don't know the seller, but wanted to share this with those who don't usually peruse ebay. It looks like it was put in a closet and never used!

Premiere Duplex

I have an older Premiere Duplex, that most ads on ebay claim is from 1927. It is all original with a perfect bag. One problem, It has a bad armature. anyone have an old parts machine, the early GE is also very similar. The model is a 53, and the motor wattage is only 190W. The armature is odd in that it has two sets of threads, one near the pulley end, and one further down near the bearing.
