Universal Upright vacuum cleaner.

Congratulations Rick!

on getting this Universal after failing to get the one that I outbid you on!

It's very similar to mine, only mine doesn't have Model 58 written on the front cover.

The two wire guards on the Universal are very similar to the ones on the Sweeper Vac that Jack has sent a picture of, only on my Universal, the wires at the back are each secured with a metal plate and two screws instead of hooking onto a round bar.

John!

Thanks for the brochure posts. I think you may have posted that one before, and now that I have the cleaner, I appreciate it all the more!

Stephen,

After I get mine finished, we'll have to meet half-way and run them side by side.

Wait, probably not a good idea....it would help to have land under our feet.

Tonight I'm going to look and see if I perhaps took any pictures at the museum in New Britain that perhaps shows the rug guard in place. Why didn't I pay more attention to this stuff when I was there?

Yay!

Glad to see it arrived in one piece. It's nice to see that puffy bag and to hear that it runs well.

'we'll have to meet half way'

Rick, I'd love to visit the States sometime, after all I've never been but it's not really feasible considering my budget (says he of many Hoovers and expensive Universals ah hmmm)

I'll also thank John for sending the Universal brochure; I found it very interesting too!
