Universal Upright model VC5708

[luxg]

Rick,,

I know that you love a challenge but.......I do know that you will have it looking like new when it's done. I would have guessed that the suction regulator would have been a height adjustment, learn something new every day!! I think that both your Universal and Fred's GE were beautiful machines. It had to be a tie that year for sure. Jus wonder what this year will bring forth!! Thanks for sharing.

Rick & THEEEeee... Premier...

Hello Rick.


 


I am glad you were able get this Premier. I L@@K forward to seeing the finished results. Having seen some of your work, I'm sure she will be able to bask in glory again soon, vs. cowering in the dark, damp places she's been.


 


Keep us updated on her progress. t/b/c (hmmmm?)


 


Aren't you glad I used the NON-toxic ink? ~~lol~~


 


Cheers & hagwknd all,

I always liked the shape of those machines - I'm sure it'll look stunning by the time you're done with it, Rick! By the way, we appear to have the same lamp...

I assume this Universal is some sort of ancestor of the Anser upright?

The Anser

Is the same except for the brushroll!!

Thanks for the confidence there guys. I hope it works out, and it will return close to new. Jack, I got my LED lite at Ikea. Do you have those in the UK?

Michael - This IS your machine......it didn't survive the trip down here very well.

Fred - that is my handwriting on the back of the award YOU got for YOUR GE I'm just jealous, that's all...

That Anser is pretty cool lookin' Hans. So what's up with the brush rolls?

We do have Ikea here, and I got mine there too, just a couple of weeks ago! Funny we chose the same colour. It's the kind of thing I like - simple and practical.

The Anser was talked about in this thread... the brushroll that was used in it is a Hoover brushroll.

((P.S.  I was just jokin' with ya about being ticked off up above.  My hands weren't really on my hips.  I know that you know that I know that you know we were both winners in 2009..  The GE is here, sittin' on a shelf.  I may let you touch it... the GE that is... when you're here in September...))

I won ..

A Anser in St Louis at our convention raffle in 1996, I cant remember who ended up with it, as most of you know, im not to big on uprights, but it did really clean well....What I remember most about that day was the fantastic meal Ruth cooked for all of us!!!
