Before going to Ebay, I wanted to let the posters on this site know that I am selling my Air-Way Super Chief. Pictures will be posted tomorrow or Monday as I am in Europe.
The Super Chief is ALL original including bag, cord, wheels, motor, handle, attachments, hose, brush roll, boxes and paper bag. This vacuum is pristine and it's condition can be verified by VCCC members Tania Voigt and Fred Nelson. It has been shown at VCCC conventions. It is being sold as relocation is in my future. I do not intend to profit on the sale, only recouping my costs. The pictures will speak for themselves. Shipping: The actual vacuum will be professionally packed box within a box. I will pack the other items. The boxes will be shipped FedEx two day and the settled upon price will not include the shipping. (It will be discounted on FedEx.) Shipped to US addresses only. If after viewing the photos, anyone is interested, contact me at eapius@aol.com or 704-905-8644. Please be patient with responses. This could be, a once in a life time chance to acquire a true piece of vacuum history. I know of 4 of these vacuums in existence but none as complete and pristine as this one. For interested parties, my DirtMaster and Green Goddess will also be on the market shortly. Charlie Watrous |

Charlie, This sale must be breaking your heart, or at least like amputating one of your extremities. How could you possibly give up your first born??? Do tell - relocation. Shocker! Where to? |

Michael,
The move would be career related. Most likely Dallas. RE: the vacuums, well, sometimes you just lose interest. The club has changed, the members have changed and it is best for me to move on. I've enjoyed my vacuums and now it is time to let someone else enjoy them. And, I have had to do a fair amount of amputating in my life! In the words of Elaine Stritch, "But, I'm still here!" |

The pictures as mentioned. I will do them page by page for best display rather than album style.
Here we go: The cleaning ensemble. This post was last edited 08/10/2014 at 15:57 |

Thanks Tom. You and I both share a love for the Air-Ways. I also have a mint Chief and mint Green Goddess. The Chief is staying and I am up in the air about selling the Green Goddess.
I have seen a lot of the GG's but they usually have warped handles, rust, totally faded bags and handles, replaced cords, cracked swivel dome, etc. This one looks like it arrived from the factory yesterday. Interestingly, it spent it's career working as a feather fluffer for feather pillows and feather stuffed furniture. It was never used as a cleaner. At some point I will post some pictures. |

Airways must not have been widely distributed in Texas because I've never seen an upright in person or one of the wheeled canister models. Do you have any plans to sell a Centurion or one of the more contemporary models? |
