Patience and Persistence Pays off Again with Sanitaire S485

[cheesewonton]

I have been looking for one of these for almost 18 years. It's been on my Holy Grail list at least that long. Have never seen one in person though I have a couple of Eureka and Montgomery Wards branded sisters from the same litter. However I knew it existed from seeing it among the schematics on the Hesco website. This particular example showed up on ebay a couple of days ago starting bid $100. The auction just closed and I was the only bidder. I was prepared to go to the mat but nobody even bid against me. Not the correct power nozzle but in the fullness of time the right one will show up and I will be ready to buy it when it does.

You have had terrific luck with not-Eureka Eurekas.

Luck is when opportunity meets preparation. I have been waiting for this for a long long time

Congratulation, BTW.
