[bnsd60m9200]

suction wars! kirby omega vs. hoover 33 convertible special

 

[bnsd60m9200]

dial-a-matic vs 33 special. the DAM surprised us here

 

[bnsd60m9200]

the 33 had no chance with the DAM

this one also suprised me at least. the ds50 and the 880 royal were very evenly matched! sean had fun playing with the ds50!

 

[bnsd60m9200]

oreck vs ds50. the oreck put up a better fight than we thought it would

 

[bnsd60m9200]

the kirby fights for the win!

 

[bnsd60m9200]

me in the suction war with a hoover slimline, sean had a portable. both evenlt matched as one would figure with the same motor.

sean with the portable

 

[bnsd60m9200]

eureka gold boxtop vs kenmore twin fan. this one shocked the crap out of us the most. the eureka never stood a chance against it.

 

[bnsd60m9200]

the eureka fights valiantly, but to no avail at all

 

[bnsd60m9200]

my display at the mini meet. my recently fully restored golden jubilee, and fully rebuilt and repolished classic omega

we all had SOO much fun at this meet. we were all very exhausted by the end of the day, but were sad to part ways. Sean and I will be hosting the north texas mini meet in early november, keep your eyes peeled around that time!

Wonderful!!!!!

I spied 13 HOOVERS amidst the outdoor stash. Those inside, (Convertibles, etc)  look fab. 


You guys really know how to host a minimeet.  I hope Jay can put some of this in the newsletter. It's great to see you all together.Wil is one I still have to meet.


John.

John, I have met Will eh he's over reated lol Will i'm am totally kidding it was great to meet you finally, we had fun. We did have a blast except it was hotter than hell. Kenny is a great host and kept us busy all day to the point where Will and I were ready to drop from exhaustion. The tug of war game was a lot of fun and i'm not at all shocked that the little cheap Singer twin fan kicked but, you know they really are cheap plastic vacuums but don't knock them, they clean like a champ. The Eureka however was a surprise, it did the worst out of everything we tested. Ken's garage was interesting. We wanted to take it all to be saved but most was so far gone that it just wouldn't be worth saving. Some of what I got was for the parts sadly. The fantom is for a customer and the Kenmore stuff completes a set I have. The Slate Green Hoover Concept II non power drive is one I have been looking for and Chad found it for me in KC at an estate sale. It's a rather hard to find model and the Regina broom Kenny found in Tulsa for me. She runs like a top. I love my Regina brooms! All in all I took home around 12 machines not 25 or 30.
