Started with a fantastic home made meal after our 13 hour drive. Fried Chicken, mashed taters and gravy, pineapple casserole, cabbage casserole with onions, squash casserole, home made biscuits, mac and cheese, banana pudding, apple cake, and North Carolina sweet tea.

The Spencer portable. Just like the huge one at the Fox theater, only you can drag it around your house. It only weighs 75 pounds.

Some of the vacuums from the late Mike Hays collection. We took a sledgehammer to the Dirt Devil. Praise the Lord. Hallelujah. And Glory. Threw it right in the dumpster. Where it should've been right after it was built.

North Carolina barbecue. It was so awesome. I brought home a half gallon of the barbecue sauce. Worlds best hush puppies.

The Apex Strato. One of the most powerful home vacuums I've ever seen. Over 110 inches of water lift in 1957. It was also one of the most expensive vacuum cleaners. It was $150, and the Electrolux was $89. So quiet. The fan is as big as a dinner plate. The motor is upside down in the machine.

Thanks for the pictures. Some great machines there.
Tom what year is your newly acquired Lewyt from? The PN is slightly different than mine and oddly enough mine is dated 1960. Only other one of the corded ones I've ever seen was Dave's in Canada and his was dated 1956-57. I'm just trying to figure out why mine has a different label and is dated so much later even though it's NOT the electronic. | ||

Actually The Apex Strato is as quiet as a Model G Electrolux but a slightly different sound. | ||
