Now that sucks ( really it does ) you never see people selling machines like that here in SA.
I had some one call me about a hoover convertable , she said it was mint condition and had all of its attachments. great so I go all the way out to get it and the thing looks like it was dargged behind a truck at high speed and the attachments all from a dirt devil canister with the hoovers rusted hose.
We never see nice vintage vacs for sale, every one I have gotten is either from a freind or customer who knows about my addiction
