Pictures. The Tristar is home!!!

Here you are guys and gals.

A wanderer from the Great USA, found its rightful home with a collector of such works of art.

To top it all off, she works like brand new, looks like brand new, and has obviously seen little use. The inner cloth bag is still grey, not mucky and brown with eons and tons of dust.

Here she is in all her californian beauty.

Happy hoovering all.

Turbo Charge It!

With a Eureka VGI or VGII brushroll!!!! What a fantastic find! Do they have the disposable bags available across the pond?
 
Power Nozzle

And the underside. The brush roller is in excellent condition with hardly any wear to the bristles.

Paper bags.

Hi Vibragroomer,

I have no idea about the availability of disposable bags over here, in fact I do not even know what routes found this little lady on our shores.

I would love as much info about these as possible, as it is my first foray into the vacuuming wonders which come from Stateside, apart from a Kirby G4, but they are plentiful and not a half as interesting as this.

I dont think the vibragroomer brush roller is available over here, but will be looking to you guys for one should I get enough spare cash to purchase the bits to make this machine 100% complete.

Happy hoovering,

Clark.
 
I sometimes

come across VG brush rolls, especially on old power nozzles. I'd be glad to send one across, along with bags when I find one. You gotta have the lady properly outfitted! LOL!

Hi Terry,

Thanks. I hope someday to own a convertible from your side of the pond, then I wll be an extremely happy guy.

Eric, I will have to take you up on that when I have some spare cash. The kids eat all my money most of the tkme. LOL.


Terry, I hope this next yezr to become a fully paid up member, I would love to know what I am missing in the newsletters.

Happy hovering all.

Clark.
 
Out of house and home

I understand the spare cash issue! I have four sons, two of which are teenagers who play American style football. My 16 year old is 6'4" and my 14 year old is 6'3". They only thing that keeps us from going broke is that they eat at the homes of their friends too! LOL!
 
Hey Clark,
I sure hope it will work out for you to join the VCCC. We put out 4 newsletters a year and they just keep getting better and better each time. Fred Stachnik is our editor and is doing a fantastic job on them!! Terry
