TTI....... I met Mr. Dick Pike last Sat p.m. He was responsible (largely) for the original Windtunnel. It was "his baby". He gave me a toy one last week. What a nice man. His wife was an executive secretary. Nice people. I brought a special little gift to him, too.

Yup, TTI shipped us 20 or so replacement cord reels for the Hoovers and the Dirt Devils. We have to put a whole new one in whenever we see one. Ugh!

Well, they brought the good name of Hoover down in flames so why not the vacuums too! I'll bet somebody got beat with a bamboo stick after those vacuums left the factory.

I wound up taking my aunt's T-series to get repaired. TTI Ruined Hoover
