Haha yup both are mine as well, Kawai KG-1C and Korg N1 synthesizer.

 

[hooverman21]

Kirbyultimate, what do you think of the G4? My friend who owns the one I worked on last weekend thinks it's a piece of junk. I know that that one still had a plastic fan, are the new ones still using plastic fans?

 

[eurekaprince]

ROB!!!!! Eurekaprince want very much see pics of your Rikas!

Pretty please?

 

[crevicetool]

Welcome aboard Rich!!!!

You will love it here! You must tell us about what you do with those instruments!!! Other than play them....I mean are you studying music?

I am fascinated by electronic music and grand pianos!!

Rick

 

[eurekaprince]

Rich! Weedwacker sound!!!!! ROFLMAO!!!!!!

 

[hooverman21]

Crevicetool - well I'm going to college for business administration, I figured I did not want to make a living out of something that I love, and having to work on music would take the passion right out of it.

Eurekaprince - yes that's what it sounds like. I suppose they couldn't fit "Sounds like crap, and let's wake everyone up in the neighborhood while we vacuum - Belt" but I guess Whisper Belt sounds more quieter? hahaha

 

[hooverman21]

crevicetool, I forgot, besides service vacuum cleaners, I also tune and regulate pianos. I have my own business which I run, and get a lot of business from the surrounding schools and the college here.

I don't understand why there are so many face pictures of the same person (one of them twice) on the vacuum thread... did I miss something?

Welcome to the group BTW. The Progressive canisters are very nice, and the quick release is a great feature. I used to sell them at Sears. I also had a Kenmore canister I named Kenny... it was the small blue one from the 70s. It came with an Electrolux straight suction nozzle and no power nozzle when I found it in the thrift shop... but I used it for years until the hose literally fell apart. I've never named another vacuum though!

 

[hooverman21]

Haha, don't ask me why there are a lot of face pics, I guess people wanted to introduce themselves or something haha.

 

[kirbyultimateg]

I just wanted to introduce myself.

Welcome Rich, I'm newer here as well. Nice machines! I also noticed your from Upstate New York. I lived in and around New Paltz through my childhood. Moved to Michigan in 1997.

And Sam (xraytech), is that convertible with the lime green hood in your pic a model 1030? I just found one of those at a thrift store for a fellow collecter. After he cleaned it up I was amazed at how cool the color scheme was with the lime green bag!

 

[xraytech]

Matt, that Convertible is the 1020, the 1030 had a lime green bag to match the hood, the 1020 has a med seal griege bag
