I've had these pics on my camera for a couple of weeks now so it's show and tell time today - finally! I found this at a local shop that is closing up after 44 years in business. This was on a shelf for display and missing it's bottom plate. I finally asked about it and was told I could have it for $20. Needless to say I grabbed it quick and brought it home. I wasn't sure if it was brand new or refurbished for sale. Turns out, it's been run a couple of times, I suspect for demonstration. It was very dusty but otherwise no real signs of use inside at all. I think it's from the mid-80's? |

The Oreck on the right is one I found at a garage sale face-down in the grass. I asked about it and was told that they could never get to pick up very well and gave up. It was mine for the taking and after resisting the excited sales pitch for the tiny Oreck canister vac, I scurried away. Brought it home, took the piece of paper out of the air inlet and it works perfectly.

That Eureka is wonderful! Love the way it lights up the logo... there aren't nearly enough appliances in this world that light up that way.. And, that vacuum will clean the hell out of any rug! Congrats! |
