Years before I became a collecter I saw an Air-Way 55a and wanted to have one some day. I recently bought this one on e-bay and have been cleaning it polishing it. Yesterday I found this 88 Mk II at the Goodwill Outlet store. It was complete except for the tool caddy that I hope to find in the future. I wasn't really interested in an 88 but this was in such good condition. It is rare to find something this complete at the outlet store so I could't pass it up. After cleaning it up I was amazed at what a well built and powerful machine this is! If anyone has any idea's for its caddy let me know. The 55a would have been enough. I wasn't trying to start a collection, but we know how that goes!

Hey Mike! Nice Air-Ways! I'll try to get down in the shop today and see for sure, but I may have an extra caddy for that 88. If I do, it's yours for shipping costs. I'll let you know ASAP, Toby G. | ||

There was approximately 12 years difference in age between the 55 and the 88. Look at the huge leap forward the 88 represented. The 55 had a 9 foot hose originally which meant you didn't move the machine while cleaning a room. Just stand it in the middle of the room and clean in a circle. Congrats on two very nice machines.
