Randomly jammed in...
That's a very impressive collection. I don't really have mine displayed in any sort of formal way. most of them are just kind of jammed in wherever I can find space and some of them are just plain in the way. I try to use that issue to dissuade myself from getting any more machines. Sometimes that works for me and sometimes it doesn't. Until recently, I've had several machines hidden away in my barn (not really a barn in the agricultural sense but an enclosed storage building) under the pretense that I didn't have room for them in the house or that they needed cleaning and polishing before bringing them up. Within the past year, I've cleared most of those out, giving one to a friend and donating three others to my church's rummage sale. Only one remains down there, along with several Kirby tool kits and an assortment of random parts. A part of me wishes I could say the same for the house. Ironically, since I cleared out the surplus machines from the barn, I've replaced them with an equal number, all of which are in the house and increasingly in the way. I really need to start a triage process to decide which vacuums are part of the permanent collection, which I'd like to keep for now to work on and play with and which are candidates for liquidation.
