hi vacuum people

[aeoliandave]

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.

Steamtown

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.

Welcome, John!

You've found the right place. And sounds like you've already got quite a collection. Enjoy!
Jeff

 

[gottahaveahoove]

yes, I do

As an exercise, sometimes, I mentally inventory the machines. 12 pixies, etc. I'm sure ye have fantastic stuff, as well. I'll show you mine.................... was that crass? not intended. 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

 

[kirbyclassic]

and again welcome

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Hi, not sure

It's a red bag 84. I also have a blue box of tools. Not sure about the shipping, etc. any offers? Ideas? Thoughts?

 

[kirbyclassic]

I looked up shipping and its a bit much for me

 

[gottahaveahoove]

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

 

[kirbyclassic]

Welcome

 

[kirbyclassic]

Does your kirby take bags? How much do you want for it? If the price is right.......(also can I see some pics)

 

[air-waycharlie]

John,

Welcome and I have stayed at that Lackawanna Railroad hotel many times and it is indeed, fabulous! I wish I could remember the name of it. The mezzanine level gives you a great birds eye view. The ceiling, glass panels and brass fittings are really something. I'm glad they did not tear it down!

Keep on posting!

Charlie

 

[aeoliandave]

Oh rats, I stayed at that 1960s motor hotel up the street. :-(

Well, next time...

 

[pasterjeffrey]

Welcome!

Hi John!
Welcome. It's great to find another Hoover collector in PA, I am in Hazleton...also, I sent the wrong number of Hoovers, as well as other Vacuums that I have, it is more like 75+.

Ours is indeed a unique and fun hobby!

Peace & God bless!
Pastor Jeffrey+

 

[gottahaveahoove]

hi Pastor

Yes, it is. Hazleton is not far at all. feel free 570-654-8742. I was almost a priest, but THAT'S another story for another day.

The station opened as a Hilton. Now, it is a Raddiso. I"m less than10 miles from it. I LOVE that building. I could tell you STORIES, but, I won't. well, not right now.........
