I went to this "flea market" this past weekend. It really wasn't a flea market all it had was flooring and vacuums. Went I went in there most of the vacuums were just cheap bagless vacuum. Nothing interesting. Then I started talking to the guy and he said of I have a bunch more vacuums follow me and I will show you. He took me outside underneath this shelter thing and there was sitting A BUNCH OF OLD VACUUMS!!! There was several F&G style Eurekas. One had a white and blue hood, another with a brown hood etc. I can't remember all of them. Also I am not that into F&G Eurekas. Also a Hoover Convertible and a Hard bagged Hoover Elite. Then the one I got which was a Fantom thunder. Sad thing this place was like a car junk yard but with vacuums. One Eureka was buried in the ground. I plugged the Fantom in and nothing I didn't expect. It didn't do anything except you could here a faint noise. So motor is completely destroyed. I still got because for $5 it has plenty of good parts on it. Even though it has tons of water in it. Also the cover that is around the switch is different then most Fantoms because it has not writing. Was this a different model? One last thing has anyone found vacuums piled up outside before? What Fantoms have you found?
