I had a call on Wednesday from Tania, she spotted a like new Tristar at a pawn shop close to my house. Of course she called and first asked, "if you want it Morgan it is there, if you don't I would love to have it". Friday morning I headed over to inspect the vacuum. She was right, it was used very little. The original filter on the blower port was hardly even discolored. Here are some pics.

Rob,

I don't know how she does it...but I remember a time we were with a group and went to a home in Chicago where the basement was full of vacuums...I was scared to death..it was a fire trap. The next thing I knew, we could see Tania's feet underneath the stair case...yelling ...I found it! I found it! A new Filter Queen in the box...none of the rest of us were brave enough..LOL

Milwaukee is only about 3.5 or 4 hours from Dubuque and yet she sniffed it out. Not a bad deal, $149.95 for the newest model Tri-Star. It is missing the upholstery tool and it didn't have the mini power nozzle.
 
Miss Tania...

Morgan,it is true that girl and spot or sniff out a vac like crazy.When we went to Fort Wayne,to thrift for vac's it was fun just to watch her.The girl has ESP for finding the good vac's.
What a fun find for you.You can find a new uphostery brush from your dealership.
Enjoy your new find.
Michael
