Yesterday, Tuesday, April 13, Gary Schwertly, Karl Wierman (me), and Doug Smith congregated at my school for a mini meet. With me bringing an approximate amount of 17 machines, Gary bringing 4 machines, and Doug bringing 2. Our congregation consisted of Doug giving a lecture on the history of Candian Electroluxes, me testing Doug's Electrolux 89 and Gary's Hoover Convertible 707, a trade or two, and some gifting. Gifting in this case, was Doug graciously gifting me his complete Electrolux 89. The stunningness of this gift was so much for me that I practically had a heart attack. We then talked a short time later and continued discussion at the local Wendy's restaurant, where we stayed for 3 hours talking. I could tell that management was not amused. Overall, I had a blast and I bet both Gary and Doug did too.
P.S. There will be pictures up as soon as Doug or Gary downlodes them to the thread. I didn't have my camara due to my short term memory loss :-) |

Fun fun fun! That 89 is gorgeous! Also like the blue XXX and the hammertone-painted L. I assume it's a reconditioned machine. I've seen E-As, Fs and Gs with that treatment but not an L. |
