Remember Charlie W. wanting to thin his herd... well mine just got larger as a result. Charlie, Thank You so much for posting your treasures here on the forum. These vacuum just made my collection more wonderful. As always your vacuums are in mint condition. Here are pictures of both vacuums I was able to purchase from Charlie

Set up for daily driver use. I purchased a new vinyl hose and replace the wands with newer quick connect features making this a perfect vacuum for a daily use. Also notice the power-mate junior, this is a must for those of us with pets. Just imagine, this vacuum is how old and still works as well as any of the new vacuums on the market. I could also use a new Lux powerhead to improve performance. |

Those machines are beautiful! It is nice to have this place to announce machines that are available and I am sure that Charlie gave you a great deal. I agree with Tom that it is nice not to have to claw through a pile of filthy dirt-belchers to expand the collection but talk back and forth here. Congratulations. Fred |

Great vacs, Morgan! I have a 1205 in the to-do section, yours is beautiful... Did you just get the Sidekick or is that new to you too? I found a Diamond Jubilee at a sale a few weeks ago and have been using it as a (weekly) driver. It came with a Sidekick still in it's original packing, it works great and I especially like that you don't lose any suction as with a turbine-driven brush. Congrats on all the new vacs - that Eureka is one of my faves too! |

That 1205 is a beauty, and that Eureka started its life as a collectable vacuum with me, it was originally in my collection. Both are beauties! |

Lovely. Those Sidekicks are super on upholstery covered in pet hair, especially in a car or truck with cloth seats where static always seems to be a problem. |

Thanks for filling me in on the fact that you were the orginal owner of the Eureka. That just makes it even more special. I beleive Charlie did mention that before he sold the machine and I had forgotten. The ownership of machines in my collection are what make some them special to me. I have several vacuums that I remember using as a child or belonged to someone close to me in my childhood. They may not be the orginal vacuum, but the same model. |
