Hey all!

Made a quick video on my TUEC I just got a couple weeks ago. Im not great at making youtube videos but I thought I’d at least share.

Let me know if you wanna see anything more on it!

$200 shipped. Personally very happy with it, at first I thought it was an ARCO boiler of some kind

That isn't the worst I have heard of. $200 isn't that bad. Good work.

I’d never seen anything like it before honestly. I didnt know these even existed. I collect a lot of mechanical antiques and was honestly surprised at myself for not knowing central vacuums existed when they did (i thought all that came about in the 70’s-80’s at the earliest!)

I love the thing tho. It’ll definitely be well taken care of, and certainly used for its purpose. I got curious and looked through my 1927-1928 edition of Sweet’s Architectural Catalog and sure enough, TUEC had a couple pages in there followed by Spencer.

Have you heard of Owen Perkins on YouTube (Centralvacs1928 here on Vacuumland)? He would be extremely helpful for you.
