It’s a long story. Here is the short version. As Chad Cunningham was leaving my house this morning he stopped by Tally's restaurant to eat breakfast (I had to be at work by 10:00 a.m.) On the backside of the restaurant there is a small antique mall that I’ve never visited because I didn’t expect to find anything in there.
Lo and behold Chad found an Airway Mark V sanitizer. He called me and informed me of the Airway while I was at work. On my lunch break I went to pick it up. There is major construction on 11th street so I couldn’t park close to the mall. I ended up carrying the Airway a distance through a couple of parking lots. I’ve never seen an Airway here in Tulsa Oklahoma. I’m wondering if Airway had a dealership here at one time. I consider this Airway to be a rare find regardless of its condition. It needs a new front wheel and the motor doesn’t sound quite right. It’s extremely noisy but the suction is fantastic. |
