Hey Jimmy!
I would love to make another trip up to collect some more goodies, do you by chance have a fantom lighting power nozzle? I have a good working unit but pn is shot. I would buy a whole unit if it had a working pn. I also want a constellation and a few convertibles possibly more. Thanks so much!

As my former Electrolux manager would say--
--"Can you read?Read this!!"
This summer and fall MOST of what is in my old & new buildings needs to GO!--I have vacs and MORE from travelling & collecting,DTD dealer trade ins,my trade ins and more including a Dirt Devil Can Vac with power nozzle from a thrift store yesterday.Many are $0 to $5,some $5 to $20 and some are more after considering rarity & condition.--I have moved one block away and am still doing vac sales and service as well as adding a book store with over 2000 feet of shelving to keep stocked.--I also find I am older,tireder,weaker and closer to death with every passing day.And when I am dead please understand that my few remaining relatives will call a discount crematorium and a commercial dumpster.--Some vacs will stay as a much smaller collection,some may be held for future EBay,some are spoken for,some may be held until all parts are located.--I have little time for this.--Shipping will be rare with buyer paying UPS for all packing and shipping.--If you or others in your area are interested it is best to make the easy drive to east TN.I am in the center of Knoxville TN,Roanoke VA & Asheville NC.--I do not do EMail,--I do not know or care if my phone has voice mail.--Speaking of my phone,to speak to me on my phone call 423-268-4841 between 7 AM and whenever I turn it off in the evening.--I can also answer here.--Please understand that the above pictures are NOT EVEN TWO PER CENT of what is here!!--I hope to have more,&better pics soon.

Do you have any central vac related items?
I wish I could get there.
I see one nice looking Celebrity on a shelf, and you probably have more.
I have health issues that prevent me from traveling that far.
And I even have a family member who lives in TN.
But, as is the case with others on here, he's in the wrong end of the state.

I would love to come down to have a look
I’m in central Indiana, so it’s a bit of a drive. But it seems like it would be worth the trip. I always have a running list of parts and pieces I need. Would it be possible to arrange a weekend visit?

I had family in Tennessee in the 90s and grew up there for a couple weeks in the summertime every year. I love hokey little hole in the wall places like this, you used to see them a lot down that way back then, I'm sure rent was cheaper and the little man could prosper.
It's such a disorganized and unkempt mess (in the best way of course) that I can picture Mike and Frank from "American Pickers" crawling their way through there. That is a very cool fascia and it would certainly catch my eye!
Are those green and blue Dysons in the pics UK models? I don't think I've ever seen a Dyson sold here in the USA in any of those colors.

"Celebrity"--There are at least 15 Celebrities ranging from very good/complete to parts machines."-he is in the wrong end of the state(TN)-"--Does that mean I am in the right end??It is close to NC and VA with hills,mountains,rivers,lakes,good climate and easy transportation.People from up north and FLA choose to move here every week.Maybe it is the RIGHT end!
"-arrange a weekend visit-"--After calling me at 423-268-4841 you can visit any day of the week.Hopefully a time with good weather forecast.Weekends are great as we have a downtown cruise in Apr-Oct with 3 to 4 blocks of muscle cars,antiques,classics,motorcycles ,trucks and MORE starting 8 feet from my store.Some just out of a barn,some good enough for Barrett Jackson.

LOL
It sounds like you ARE in the right end of the state!
I simply meant that he's in the opposite end from you, and I wouldn't ask him to make a five+ hour drive to help feed my sickness.
If he was the traveling type, I bet he would enjoy that cruise though.
We have one near us that draws close to 1,000 vehicles on a big night.
And he's the one who introduced us to it, back when he lived up in this part of the country!
