OMG, I would never find cool vintage stuff like that in a vac shop here, not even in the dumpster out back! And that basement looks like a spooky vacuum graveyard. No wonder you talk about that place a lot. | ||

I found more pictures! First... The massive canister bin on the main floor next to the shop. That pinkish connie 84 way in the back is the one I own now.

MOAR THE OLD BASEMENT. This is where the real treasures were. The only light down in the vast basement was coming from that work light.

For all your kirby nuts. Check this puppy out. All original complete Scotts and Fetzer sanitation system. Thats the original bag wrapped around the machine. We found the cord months later on the ground.

Bet we could make that stuff disappear quickly.... There would be a feeding frenzy!!! It's sad to see all those machines heaped up in piles in that dank, musty basement. I'd love to dive into that place and pull out some treasures but I think my allergies would bring a quick end to the excitement. | ||

Cool! Have you been to the 2nd floor of the 13th store, or the basement, or even the building next door? I have yet to. Greg has been in parts of them. Apparently they are packed full of old vacuums. Packed is a word he didn't use lightly. lol. | ||
