Today's outing at Hibiscus House on US Hwy 1 in Jensen Beach netted me this prize. Not a Constellation, Convertible, or Slimline, but this tepid piece of excitement, an early '80s Spirit. Those of you familiar with its construction, know it probably contains 30% metal. It came with all the things in the picture, offered at $30.00, but a sign taped to the front door said everything in stock at half-price. But not the 1942 baby grand piano in the back. I considered an $85.00 Kirby Heritage very briefly, but was consumed with the Spirit's utter plasticity. It came with a fresh bag, and works very well considering. It and the black Eureka Mighty Mite will be the most used until I gain some extra space. I keep forgetting my mom bought a brand new maroon one with a power head, but for some reason gave it to my sister not long after.
