I was painting at a new house on Monday and just as the owner was leaving for work she said, "If you want to use that old vacuum to clean up saw dust you can, if its in your way, throw it in the dumpster cause thats where its going, the suction is terrible". I threw it out, right into the trunk of my car. The poor thing was just packed with drywall dust. You couldn't move it without dust coming out the hose.

Saved a Lux.
The only tools it came with were the floor tool and two pipes. The power head I have from the Ambassador. The blue and yellow look quite nice. Thanks to Dave in Stratford, I have the dusting brush to ride on top. I can't believe how heavy this machine is. It weighs 20 pounds, the Ambassador weighs 12 and is easier to carry. A couple of questions. How old is this machine? The model number is 1401. Second, the carpet selector is really hard to move, would it be ok to spray some WD40 in there?, Finally, what does shifting it from corse dirt to fine dirt do? Does the motor run faster?

Really lovely save there, Brian
Yes, yes, yes to everything Ricky and Vernon said - they beat me to it. :-) Say, we could gang your Super J with my Super J in tandem or parallel and have a Super Duper J-off to measure the inches of...wait for it...suction level. Sorry, to good to pass up under flying fingers speed typing... What I really am trying to say is, I wonder what the vacuum Tester levels would be in either case, in an experimental quest for a competition level Monster J. Dave, back to work... | ||
