I went three towns up, to Vero Beach to go a junking, but felt so out of it, I almost came home. I continued anyway, to the Humane Society Thrift Store on route 60. I was hoping something festive would show itself, and within three minutes of entering the store, this was discovered hiding on the bottom shelf of barely attractive household goods. It needs all of its tools and the wands, a disappointing trip to the last remaining old vacuum shop in Fort Pierce netted nothing. The owner throws out all of the old pieces. In Vero, in Saint Vincent De Paul, they had a caramel colored Eureka canister with a powerhead half the size of the vacuum, a Kirby Heritage with tools, and a Riccar Commercial upright. The two tone blue Hoover really did it for me.

That's a fine looking celebrity! You might want to tell the lady who runs the vacuum shop that rather than throwing out the attachments she gets in, you will be more than happy to take them off her hands. | ||

Mr. Mc Nee is the owner of the only old vacuum business left in Fort Pierce, and the business isn't even in its original shop. He has to be at least 90, he was the one I spoke to. I may try Vero again, they had one place that seemed to have old parts, but that was before our three crippling hurricanes. Fort Pierce is proud of being an old town, but the old buildings and businesses are being flattened at breakneck speed.

Hi Doug, really good to hear from you! That Kirby of mine is in plain sight, and not going anywhere. At the moment it is awaiting a good workout, it may get one today. Your Hoover was a steal, we had a Concept 1 I believe, Mom wanted a new Eureka upright in the late '80s and the Hoover went bye-bye. I still have the Eureka. Take care too, catch you around-Alan

A $3 PowerMax, that's a great deal. The last of the quality Hoovers. What color is it? | ||

The Good old Hoovers Hi Pete You are so RIGHT as far as last quality goes. It works like a charm. The POWER DRIVE is as smooth as can be plus it picks up very well. It is a dark red. Doug | ||
