Murphy strikes again...
"An object not wanted will reside on the store shelf forever. Once said object has a great desire, it will be gone."
And that is what has happened. Sorry Cole...
It is now gone - hope a collector got it.
I searched the whole store twice - no sign of it. I did score myself a vintage 1990 Technics CD changer to match my receiver.
I go in there a couple times per month so if the vac just happened to have been moved and hidden from view, and it reappears, I will grab it.
