that 1935 FQ vacuum sure beats the LAME plastic ones they make now!A beautiful machine-the new FQ machines are cheap and plasticy.And they are less powerful than older metal ones-the suction meter and Baird guage proves it! |

Good for you! My mom had 2 FQs - one was from the early 50s (no power nozzle of course) which she still used as a 2nd vacuum for the basement up until she died in 2001. After my parents had wall to wall carpeting installed in 1970 my mom was looking for another vac because the FQ rug nozzle just wasn't capable of thoroughly cleaning the carpet. My dad said there was no way he was paying for the cost of a new FQ so my mom ended up buying a Regina canister (again with no power nozzle) figuring it being new it would have more power. What a mistake that was. Less than 2 years later she went out and bought another FQ with power nozzle while my dad was away on a hunting trip. :-) Gary |

Good for you Brad although I know I would be hard pressed to even think of parting with it at least it's sort of going home. |

What do you think of the trade? I was also offered for the Health mor co to appraise the vac and then pay me is US dollars?? or do you think the trade for a new F/Q is a better way? I do like the fact of it going home, and I have had my fun with it. Thank you Brad. |

Well, since the Canadian dollar hit par for 'one shining moment' today I'd say you made the right choice. I know how much I am looking forward to all my pending roadtrips around America this November thru January. Next time it surpasses par I'm making a major top-up to the vacation cash fund, because you just know both our respective governments are toiling into the night figuring out how to squash it before Christmas...:-) Of course, all of us here wish we were the next persons to have their fun with your breathtakingly gorgeous Filter Queen. LOL There will, perchance, be correspondance and thankyou notes from the HealthMore Marketing CEO you'll share with us at the right time, eh? Dave |
