Yes, I do but...

Its not for sale, which doesn't help Jason with what he's trying to achieve.

That, and they had to sit in the emergency room for belt replacement and brushroll replacement surgery.

Fantom

Just yesterday I got 10 trade-in vacs from a DTD dealer.Most late model dept store uprights,a couple of better brands,late model Sears can with broken front wheel & duct tape on hose,stick vac AND 12 amp Fantom Thunder with all atts & extra hose.A quick look shows it runs,has 2 good headlights & tape on bumper.Don't know if it is worth the trouble & cost of shipping but I don't want & would only sell as collector vac.Also have 4 canister with 4 hose,3 wand,2 power nozzle,no mini power nozzle or floor brush.Would like to keep 1 good & let duplicates go.Think about it and let me know.

Please be aware that even though I recycle packing supllies careful packing might require $5-10 of bubble wrap,etc.Might lower price.Still want to take closer look so we both know exact condition.

Found a Fantom

I saw one at Goodwill in good condition for $37.99. It had half the attachements. I was going back and forth but ended up leaving without it. I really like them but was wondering where I would store it. I wonder even if it was even worth the $37.99:/...I know that their known for their motors going bad around 10yrs but I've been thinking about it since I saw it on Tuesday.

Fantom for $18

I went to Sal Army store and they had a few vacs there. Nothing to brag about, just a bagged bissell, a DD vision lite, a Hoover self propelled bagged(i know it's rare). It was a beige color but eh, I left it. They wanted $50 for it!. They also had a bagless Elite (red) $47.99!, really people. I can get a new refurb one at Ocean State Job Lot for $49.99. I left with nothing but I did go back to see the Fantom for a second time at Goodwill. No way I was paying $37.99 for it. It was filthy and full of scratchs. The woman who worked there saw me looking at it and informed me that all blue tagged items were 50% off. Guess what? The fantom had a blue tag. I plugged it in and it seemed to run ok. I figured I would bring it home and clean it up. I'll try Mr clean magic eraser. For $18 bucks, I figured it was worth it. Anyone try running any vac parts through the dishwasher??? I know obviously to shut the dry cycle off.
