Thought I would shout out to the Vacuum collectors here who might not scour online for sales too often. I've posted my Delco on ebay in case anyone was interested. I can be reached at andrew.leeling@yahoo.com ~Andrew CLICK HERE TO GO TO vacfanatic's LINK on eBay |

Morgan, I'd probably say a good month to a month and a half's worth of weekends. I'd work for a few hours, then save the rest for another day, sometimes I'd work on it after work to unwind from my chaotic days here in the office. I've spent a lot of work trying to restore shine to that 77ish yr old metal. That was a chore at the buffing wheel let me tell you! Thanks for your nice comments! Regards, Andrew |

Dave - Thanks for your encouragement :-) This one was quite a bit of work, so selling them is part of being a collector. I can't keep them all, and this one is really unique so I decided to part with it. Being born in 1982, this one is a bit early for my collectors taste, but it was fun to restore! We all have different types of machines we like and want to collect. Jack - Thanks as well for your comments and everyone else as well. I enjoy hearing nice feedback after displaying my hard work. Makes it really worthwhile! Andrew |

Lets forget about the drama brought on from a member and focus on the machine, ok?! Andrew, you're burning my eyeballs out with those metal polishing jobs of yours! My D80 will love you :D. ~Alex |
