Great memories Brian! I don't have any vivid childhood vacuum memories other than Gram's Filter Queen that Mom moved with and it seems it's not until I was 9 or 10 that the fever struck and I noticed them all the time. I also used to spend a lot of time inside pipe chambers to feel the subsonics of the pedal so I guess it's an aural thing for me.
I couldn't agree more with you about the harmonious aesthetics of Eurekas and other fine vintage vacuum cleaner brands. I swear nothing is as hushed and soothing as a Canadian Lux 80 series.
As for how a MobilAire sounds, you really will have to find a time to come over to Stratford for a mini Meet. Bet I could entice a few of our Ontario Bretheren to join in. Now that the house is so close to being totally presentable, as well as navigable, I am looking forward to once again inviting guests over to play with all this neat stuff.
Dave, off to bed. Wednesday is carpet and set up the TV system Day. With a one hour luch downtown with a few work buddies - that'll be a nice break.
Oh Boy! District 9 came out today on Blue-Ray at the Video Rental Store. And finally I'll be able to watch Sully's fur wave in Monsters INC. and those damn penguins & whales and icebergs & waves...
