Tom,
That's quite all right, no harm done. As you most probably already know, I collect primarily Kirby vacuums. I must confess, I leave one of them in its canister mode all the time. Why, I even have one dedicated to my sanding wheel, which also serves as a shop-vac. After vacuuming for yrs. with expensive junk, to no avail, I bought my first Kirby, and I've been hooked ever since. I'm just so glad, when I was a child, I didn't have a parent or someone prejudice me against such a fine machine. I never had any interest in vacuums, I just shell out a couple of hundred bucks every other yr. and simply buy a new "fiasco" , and think no more of it. But all that has changed now, and this time for the better!
