Okay, even I have Hoovers in the bedroom! Let me put it this way, John, DON'T let me catch you using that Convertible in ways not defined in the User Manual!
Nice find, Greg!
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Did you get that here in Buffalo, or down in Fla?</span>

Bill......
<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">Got it here in Cheektowaga at the City Mission Thrift store in the plaza at George Urban and Dick.</span>
<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">One of my favorite haunts for vacs. Have gotten a couple there.</span>
<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">When I need parts I usually go to Queen City on Union Road. Mike is very good about knowledge of the older vacs.</span>

Interesting!
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">I've found a machine or two there as well, actually. Most of my thrift store finds, however, either come from Amvets or Salvation Army. Once in a while, I'll find some good ones at A+ over on Abbott Rd in South Buffalo or Habitat for Humanity's ReStore on Amherst St, and sometimes I can find some at Goodwill. Lately I've even seen some nice ones at this new place called Savers - there's one by the McKinley Mall, and a new one just opened up near where I live over on Sheridan Dr and Eggert Rd.</span>
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">As for parts and repairs, my friend Tom Rosiek and his staff over at Rosiek's Vacuums on Sheridan Dr have been keeping my vintage machines in tip-top shape.</span>
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">On an entirely unrelated subject ... will you and Kevin be able to attend John's October get-together? I'm planning on being there, and I hope I'll get the chance to meet you both!</span>

That's as good of a deal as what I got on my Model 68 a few years back. Found mine on the 2nd day of an estate sale for $5 w/ a huge lot of bags to go with it. No tools though. But, I was gifted the converter, hose, and crevice tool by Fred Stachnik and Robert Seger earlier this year. I have added the generic all-purpose upholstery, dusting, and bare floor brushes to make the ensemble a bit more complete.
