Hey all,
In the past few weeks I've acquired quite a few new machines and have yet to post photos, so since today is my day off, I decided that I should do that! All of these new toys came from John Gregory's Sweeper Central. The brand new machines were purchased at fantastic prices, and the used machines were very kindly given to me. First, we have a shiny, brand new Royal upright. This thing is super powerful, but the noise level is ungodly. |

Here's the lineup of Hoover Commercial machines that I now own. There was also a C1414 Commercial Lightweight (Elite style) that John gave me, but I already repaired that one and sold it off to a new life of service.
The Guardsman you see is the brand new Professional Series pictured above. I like the look of the black bag better, and to me it just didn't look right without the name "Guardsman" on it. So, to remedy that, I had the hood from a Guardsman with a cracked base down in the cellar and did a switch! I also switched the current style black cord with an older style orange one. If one didn't know better, one would swear it's been in service for years! |

John also gave me this Commercial PortaPower that someone dumped on his doorstep. The poor thing is absolutely shot. The motor is burnt up, the hose is split, and it's filthy. I have since stripped it down and only the cord and the shell of the machine remain. The rest, as John Gregory would say, has been shitcanned.

I love all those machines! I've always wanted a Royal, and I'm gonna get a Professional Series with the headlight! I've had that same T-Series bagged for 3 years now and love it. And btw I drooled when I saw the Bicentennial Convertible! |
