Don, I've heard good things about you from several AW folks. Glad you are joining us! If you have a really good tailor, (or you can handle a Singer yourself), a new zipper should be able to be sewn in. You may want to make the vinyl as soft as possible by treating it with some kind of vinyl treatment. Just make sure whoever does understands how old it is and that it is not really replaceable. I've done it before and I think you will be able to also. Hope to see you in Omaha and keep checking in with us! Charlie |

It is always great to add another name to our wonderful family of vacuum collectors. I too have heard wonderful things about you from some who attended the washin in Tuscon. I sincerely hope you will join us in Omaha for the Great Bison Roundup. We are inviting folks from the AW site to join us this year as well. It will be a great time for everyone. Good food, good friends, Vacuums and perhaps some Washers.... what more could you ask for. See you in Omaha! Morgan By the way.... GREAT LOOKIN G.E. and the story of how it made it's way to your home is awesome. |
