I think this one nearly made the FedEx man keel over.

A few weeks ago, my dear friend Brandon said he had a surprise for me and asked for my address. After much poking, prodding, and prying, I finally got him to tell me that the surprise was a NIB set of Hoover Concept One attachments. Feeling very lucky and happy, I gave him the address, and waited. 


 


When I received the email from FedEx yesterday that the package had been shipped, I almost sh** a cinderblock upon seeing that the box weighed nearly 70 pounds! I said to myself, "Self, HOW does a set of attachments weigh that much?!"


 


This morning, I was sitting in the living room watching television when the FedEx truck pulled up the street. Picture it. Fat, balding delivery guy huffing and puffing as he schleps a gigantic box up the front walkway to the porch. I thought the poor devil would collapse on the spot! 


 


The pictures will do some more explaining.

Glad everything made it! At least I didn't have to worry about that box getting "misplaced" like the handle to my Hoover 450. ;-)

Nice Eureka vacuum. We had me like that years ago. Great little vacuum. It came from KMart in the late 1980s. Ours had the wooden brushroll. I always wished it had the metal one. What model number is it? I may have to start searching for one.

Jon: Jeez...has to be somewhere in the 60-75 range! (I am OUT OF ROOM!) 


 


Will: I love the color too! I can't wait to get it all cleaned up and give it good mechanical treatment too. 


 


Tim: The Eureka is a Model 630, indeed a K-Mart model from the 80s. Mine has the wooden brushroll too.
