I completed two machines recently, and have been wanting to post pics of them, but decided to wait until after the Convention. Had a great time BTW...but will talk about that on the Convention threads.....
I introduced two new machines at the Convention!!

So stunning a resurrection, Rick, it's 'weep worthy'.
What a lovely color. Mine is a pale orchid/mauve or maybe just severely sun-faded. (?) That's a Kirby hose. Duh. The diameter and coil is a match for the Westinghouse ends. I do need to find a T-6 dusting brush and hard floor nozzle...
Say, has anyone come across a transparent blue spray coating paint - like in 'Crafty' stores? Haven't found anything locally. I seem to recall my brother used some on a model car back when we were teenage model builders.
There are a light and a dark gray and a silver 'hammertone' like spray at the local hardware store and if I could find a nice transparent crystal blue it would be perfect over the hammertone for the pair of MONITOR canisters and the blue painted aluminum wands and tools.

Wow, what an amazing restoration! Well done!
