Haley's Vacuum I don't have one of these and I must admit it is one ugly little bugger. Though if I happened upon one at a fair price in a thrift, I would pick it up for sure. | ||

The way the hose is placed I see the Golden Elephant of Canister Vacs...ugly to some perhaps but endearing in its awkward attempt at good Space design - but then, there are no aerodynamic considerations in Space. Reminds me of utilitarian Star Wars Space Cargo Barge. LOL I will be keeping an eagle eye on it 'cause it would find a good home here among its own kind. I know Pete likes the uprights and even gave me a Compact C6 to keep my other two company, so... :-) | ||

Space Cargo Barge I think Dave's comment that it might lend itself to a Star Warsesque Space Cargo Barge is spot on. We could use the bag cover bubble area as the command cockpit, etc. And that aluminum cuts like butter. Fun, fun, fun. | ||

Space Age Find Congrats Dave on your unique find. Yes, that is the correct hose assembly. The wand is like an upside down Kirby wand and the strangest rug tool I've ever seen. When I can, I'll post pics of mine. There is a pic of my friend Phillip using mine in the pics from the mini-meet thread, check out the rug nozzle. | ||

Now I'm just flummoxed, Rick...
There's 3 posts of the St Louis Mini Meetin the off topic forum, Threads 2258, 2289 and 2297. Lots of pics of Phillip with vacuums, none of which are the elusive Haleys Comet tho he is pictured with the Lewyt and it's strange floor tool. Only mention of Haleys Comet refers to the dog. :-) So I'll just hang 10 til actual Haleys Comet pix appear. Picking up the Comet on Sunday and then dropping off some 'stuff' with Pete on the way back home. Leaving for western Pennsylvanioa and North Canton OH on Tuesday morning. When I get home from that trip on Friday I'll have a day or two before heading out to Winnipeg MN for a few weeks. Dave is on the move... | ||

That Dave, he's here, he's there, he's everywhere. Everywhere there's a vacuum for the taking or delivering. LOL Imagine crossing the great plains in December in search of elusive vacuumabilia. That's determination. | ||

Sorry Dave! I knew I had a pic of Phillip with the Haley's Comet, unfortunately it's a pic that was taken with a 35mm camera. I'm just glad to know I'm not losing my mind, well, maybe a little! I'll post a pic as soon as my computer skills will allow me to do so! Rick | ||

That's really ok, Rick. There's no panic and I appreciate you tracking it down. Its the usual sight unseen pre-adoption jitters. I'll be laying eyes on the poor thing I got by noon Sunday. My heart will go out to its sorry state and lumpy undortunate design...because after all, nobody can un-ugly something like a Pontiac Aztec. All you can do is tell it it's pretty - no offence to anyone who has one, ok? I was at the Detroit Auto Show when the original Aztec Show Truck vehicle was shown and that was beautiful and innovative. The following year when they showed the final production version with the hatch camptent accessory, the most heard comment was "Do you have a tent/hood/cover/paperbag for the front end, too?" Really, I heard that several times. No joke. | ||

Finally! Dave, go back to the mini-meet pics, I finally figured out how to post pics and there's one of the Comet. | ||
