HAHA Sandy "Ye Olde Fayke Woode Graine" !
If they ever put that on a TriStar, i quit! lol
I remember seeing the Kenmore Powermate vacs on display in the 1970s at Sears,,wow, was i ever impressed, and begged my parents to buy one. (no such luck, all we had was a PINK Hoover Connie, that spewed dust all over)
I remember thinking anyone who bought a Powermate must be RICH! lol
