Popular Science (Jan. 1961) Shop Vac

[JEH]

My dad is looking to get rid of a shop vac he made following a blueprint published in the Jan. 1961 issue of Popular Science. It still works. Rather than see it go to the dump, I'm wondering if we can't find it a good home. I don't think he wants any money for it, but shipping costs would need to be paid by anyone taking it. The vac is large and is in Shelton, WA. Please see the URL to the magazine issue below (pages 195-198), and a photo of the vac in action.

He did a great job and has taken care of it well, im sure someone would love to have it.

I wish

I was closer, that would make a great bench vac for my vacuum building.

on Craigslist

I wish you were closer than NC, too! Oh well. We've put it up on Craigslist in the western Washington and northern Oregon regions for $15.

Dad just found a buyer for this - it gets to stay in its original hometown!
