Welcome John! You're certainly in the right place! Love to see your collection when you can.
A big warm welcome to the club John, as Alan said you will love it here. Really a great group of friends. I will look forward to getting your application for the VCCC. Hope that you can make plans to attend our convention in North Canton, Ohio, Aug. 7 thru the 10th. I know it would be an experience you will never forget. Terry

John Welcome,
I am so glad to see you posting here! If you enjoy what you see here then becoming a member is an added bonus. We have a quarterly newsletter that once you are a member, you will start to receive. Membership also gives you the opportunity to attend the annual convention, this year to be held in North Canton Ohio. Planning for this event is well underway. I think it will be one of the best convention yet!
We will be looking forward to receiving your membership form.
Have fun posting and looking forward to meeting you in the very near future.

thanks to all of ye
Thank you to all of you. I KNOW this is a great place to be. I look in here almost everyday. It has been a difficult year for me, and, this is my treat to myself. I do plan to look the the "hollowed ground" where these HOOVER machines were made, with PRIDE in the U.S.A. I look at these cleaners and wonder how many were wedding gifts, how many Christmas trees they have picked up, etc. They were all made in the same place, and are now in the same place, my 11 room home. Very Hermann Munster- ish. It all began with the model 67, which was bought 2 weeks before I was born. My aunt had a shiny new 69...... the rest just "happened".Thank you to all of you. When I learn how to take AND post pics, I will.125 pluus hoovers, attachments, books, etc...fills a lot of space. I raide my Dr. Pepper to the muighty HOOVER co. feel free to email me at

I'm not trying to ingratiate myself on you, but I love Pennsylvania, some of my Dad's family were living there, and last time I was there, was fascinating. I want to see Gettysburg.
I love PA too
Thanks. We're a proud people here. The 1st dept store in the US, John Wanamaker, Hershey Chocolate, Heinz Ketchup, etc.I live at the base of the Pocono mountains, gee, and, I don't ski. Very hilly, very cold, and quite beautiful. If anyone is ever nearby, call.

My Aunt Gertrude Guggenheim, married to my Uncle Charles, was the head buyer in the ladie's department in John Wannamaker's, and Uncle Charles worked for Philco. They lived in Philadelphia. Allentown, Kutztown and Krumsville were pretty and enjoyable. My host was from Allentown originally, and was kind of a drag when he found out I didn't drink. Long boring story.

Hi. Thanks. I only saw that show once. I feel it made us all look stupid. We're not. There are "Dunder Mifflin" signs, etc everywhere. I heard that the local radio station Froggy101 bumper stickers are on the show and are quite an item. Does anyone want one?? I can get you one.

Gosh, John! You mean Dunder-Mifflin is an actual company? I didn't know that. I do enjoy the show as it's a mirror of the sort of microcosm my workplace can be. We love the interoffice romance adventures as they knot & untangle. LOL
I stayed in Scranton once on my way to pick up a piano and 'discovered' the swell Locomotive museum and the history! That was well worth the half day I spent prowling around the shop talking to the guys rebuilding the steamers.

No, Dunder-Mifflin isn't real. But, the cast comes here a lot, so D M signs are all over. The once great Lackawanna train station was almost raised. Now, a glorious hotel. They are working on the museum, steamtown trips, the coal mine tour (A must for every child here, to realize what our families went through). I was in the mine, 300ft below the ground. "humbling", and the ski lodges. Any and all are welcome to visit. big, 11 room house here.

I'm the original boy next door. seems everyone else has moved away, though. So nice to interact with all of ye after eavesdropping in here until now. John

Well, as long as you collect HOOVER!!!
Welcome, John!
I learned to ski in the Poconos, years after I learned Hoover was among the best America had to offer (probably by age 3 or 4) What a gorgeous part of our country Skytop and the Poconos are, Yes, I am bitten by the H-bug, but also the E-bug. I left Long Island with one Hoover 65 and one Lux 30 and have a respectable representation of both with some of the credit going to some wonderful and generous club members. Space does become an obstacle over time, unfortunately. lol Welcome to The 'A' Club of vacuum collectors and we hope to see you in NORTH CANTON!! It is not be be missed if you really are a Hoover Dude!!! (tehehehe)

Thanks,
I ONLY have HOOVER. HOOVER everything. I DO have a few "items, non-HOOVER". They are housed in the cellar... awaiting something to happen to them. I DO appreciate, however, people who love others. A Kenmore hand cleaner, a Premier hand cleaner, a Kirby 84, a GE swiveltop, are the cellar dwellers. I'm sure some people in here will want them. I have a few OLD electrolux tools, too Thanks to all of you who have said, "Hi". Great decision to be here, so far........ John

I looked up shipping and its a bit much for me
a shame
It wasn't abused. I'm just NOT a Kirby guy. How much WAS the shipping?
I'll try to get it a good home here BEFORE I go to ebay. Still have to figure out HOW to post, list on ebay
