Hi Kevin,
Thank you for your kind words of support! I appreciate your sharing that amazing American "can do" spirit with this shy Canadian! Unfortunately, I am now the sole caregiver of my aging mom and I am in really bad financial shape. But I have always been inspired by dreamers - especially Americans like Walt Disney - and I will for sure keep the dream alive! I am also a great fan of educational exhibits and museums, and so this could be a great hobby to design in my spare time while I make contact with Electrolux and Bloomington officials. It would be such a shame to let the Eureka vacuum story be forgotten by future generations. "Eureka. The very best in vacuum cleaners." Thanks so much for these heartwarming words, Kevin. I really appreciate your creative thinking and proposal of great solutions to challenges! It's guys like you and Jimmy who make Vacuumland (like Disneyland) the "happiest place on earth" for cleanerphiles like us. And to Jimmy: Good luck with your sale of all these goodies! |

Jimmy, If you would be interested in opening another vacuum cleaner museum maybe you could get financial support from the VCCC and Vacuumlanders. As long as you have the artifacts anyway it's worth consideration. |

Let me know when you get some time. Don't worry about digging out tools for an Elux, all I need is the canister. I have a few combination tools and several sets of wands, as well as more hoses than I know what to do with. The one hose I do not have is the Heritage II. When you get to the Luxes, I'd prefer a blue model G, but a decent tan one would do just as nicely. What style of Regina brooms do you have left? I've seen one or two before with PN's, but I think a straight-suction model would be better. If you get a chance, please email me at jakes5103@gmail.com
Thanks again! |

Jimmy, I am thinking about coming down soon if things work out. Also, do you have a gold-colored CB or a tan B-8? If so, please post pics of them when you can. Those seem to be the most rare. |

-Jake from the local area came yesterday and proved that his 2 tone green 1979 Ford truck not only looks good in the Sat night cruise-in but can haul a full load of mostly Hoover Convertibles and have room for a few more Kirby Heritage. |

Very nice! I'd love to see pics of some of the blue Eurekas. Btw, I Finally finished my resto of the chrome hooded Eureka I bought from you off eBay. It is now one of my favourite machines & daily drivers!! Also, I would still be interested in the taupe GE Silhouette upright if you still have that too.

Hans, I agree completely! Hands-down Ridgewood is the absolute BEST BBQ I have eaten EVER! Jimmy treated me to a trip there when I visited him last July and I was absolutely floored at how good the place is! I plan to make a return trip this year (to see Jimmy, AND visit Ridgewood!) and I absolutely CANNOT wait! Both places are well worth the drive!!!

Hi Jimmy I thought I'd send you a picture of my vacuum that's needs the eureka 800 series rotomatic to repair it. I also have a Hoover dial a matic power drive that needs a back motor cover.
Thanks again for all you do. Damien
