Our kinda junk, that is. Except for that obviously 90s wierd Sanyo Transformax piggyback contraption...but I liked the color a lot and it is just so contortionally cute! The canister clips to the floor nozzle/wand. I suppose separated it does become a handheld with a crevice tool stuck in the end...the hose coming off the front of the wand handle is awkward, tho, making it darn near wrist-wrenching to use them as a long reach wand for heights. Ah well, everything else speaks for itself. Under a table I dug out a big plastic bin loaded with all these accessories. $5 the lot. Naturally vacuum collecting came up and the guy threw the Eureka and Easy polisher at me gratis. A pile of treasures to my mind... a white GE ribbed crevice tool and dusting brush, the red Electrolux 86/88 tools & a nice brown trimmed polished canLux floor tool, Air-way 55 tools, Filter Queen stuff including the old style caster base ring, Hoover bits & pieces including a side insert converter (?), a Compact sparkley clear upholstery nozzle and turquoise crevic tool, assorted chrome single pipes and a selection of floor nozzles I haven't identified yet. And what the heck does that short hose connect to?

Neato, nice haul. That dolly looked like it might be for an old Filter Queen though it's not the same as the one on mine. I was thinking I had one of those GE hand vacs somewhere, I'd almost bet on it.. but I can't seem to see it anywhere down here in all the stuff so maybe I don't. | ||

Being the first warm sunny genuine Spring Day it was the official Wash the Car Day for Dads all over town. Moms were kept occupied cleaning up the yard with the kidlets - at least up & down my street. The coin washes were busy every time I went by so I spent a worthwhile afternoon washing the Sprocket Rocket by hand in the driveway. First the engine bay was liberally scrubbed down with Dunk Degreaser and hosed clean. What fun...and that led to detailing inside and out. This is a fine way to meet the neighbors as we emerge from the hibernation cocoon - there were a few "hey, My Mom/Aunt/female relative had a vacuum like that when I was a kid" comments. :-) Digging out grit in the interior seams with toothpicks and wiping down all those coffee spills, the Vacuum of Choice in honor of Robert's Find of the Month was the Lewyt 120 Big Wheel. Perfectly nimble & powerful to tag after me and compact & light to set down inside the wagon. (Lady across the street was trying to use her Dyson to do the same thing and man, was that noisy! She didn't look too happy wrestling with the hose.) Oh well. That thinnest of crevice tools is just the thing for reaching down into those hard to get at places between the seats and under the spare tire well. Got some Lexan polishing compound and restored the transparency to the headlights & fog lamps - after all, it is a 10 year old car and winter & cross country trips do take their toll. I used the Turb0tool buffer with the Lewyt to buff the lenses clear and the paint's real wax job...after touching up a few scratches. Its gleamy! I just know this will all make the Subbie go faster. Looking forward to seeing this week's rain bead up and roll off. LOL After dinner I'll busy myself cleaning up some vacuum parts. Dave

Hector and Felix are fascinated by this devotion to research
Gee Doug, it wasn't a test but I'd say you won it. LOL Really glad to hear that's a blue/green Eureka crevice tool, as it matches the Viking 107 tool set and was the only tool missing from the carry caddy. Yes yes yes, the white GE floor brush with the ribs fits the GE curved which fits the GE straight section. And now that they are lined up side by side I see the white GE crevice tool and dusting brush all belong together, joining the white GE upholstery nozzle I already had. Yippee. They can all live peaceably with the green VC1B Swiveltop and gray flip tool I got from you...haven't been to CanTire to match the color for the caster base yet. ok, and the dark red painted small Kenmore with the locking thumbscrew is a match to the color of the tools that came with the Kenmore Commander. Didn't have one of those and its a perfect slide-on fit to the floor brush. Got a red Elux vaporizer but it didn't have the lid, so that's all great. After finding some very small Shark bags that fit the Sanyo with a little cutting of the cardboard it turns out to be a rather quiet and strong sucking beast - I'll take it into work for the workroom and kitchen areas. Goes to show, save everything, throw nothing away and partz will find their way back home like globules of mercury...or the Terminator androids :-) Dave

Dave, that's some nice stuff you found! It reminds me of a picture I took a while back. I sold most of this stuff, I believe! :-) ~~K~~

I remember that pile well, Kyle, and lusted after a few of those tools. ALL gone? But alas, I live up here in the Canadian north. While we're in an identifyin' mood, can anyone tell me what this vinyl power hose goes with? It has no brand name on it, is a dark chocolate brown, the wand end is good plastic (yes,the curved nozzle is rotated upside down) and it does carry current. Dave
