~ Your Model F looks great! Your photos remind me of what I did a few years ago with a Model R. Same idea, different model! This was inspired by an actual church in Virginia where my father was the pastor in the mid-1960s. There was a big closet in the vestibule just like you see here where the old lady who cleaned the church (named Fanny Godsey) kept the church's Model R. Well, the church where I was music director from 1989 to 2008 also had a closet in the vestibule where the custodian also kept their vacuum cleaner! However, it was an old Royal upright (the one with the hammertone blue motor housing). I got the crazy idea one night when I was going down there to practice the organ for Sunday to bring the Model R down there and "stage it" for a photo session. :) | ||

The days I went to church we were not allowed to eat in the church itself-only in the kitchen and their dining areas. | ||

I gave my church a Dirt Devil Featherlight
I don't clean my church, but few years ago when I was serving on the vestry, the altar guild was asking for funds to purchase a lightweight upright vacuum with onboard attachments to give the chancel area a quick sweep on Saturdays when preparing for Sunday services. I had recently grabbed a baby blue Dirt Devil Featherlight from beside the dumpster at my apartment, which had gotten tossed out because it needed a bag and a belt and the owner apparently didn't know how to use a screwdriver, go figure. I had replaced those items, given it a thorough cleaning and even found replacements for a couple of missing attachments. It was a nice little machine but I really didn't need it since I'd also rescued my Kirby G6 at that point. The vestry was quite happy to accept my donation and save the cost of purchasing a new machine. They've gotten several years of use out of the thing and it's still going strong. It's not the greatest vacuum in the world, but it's okay for what it is and it serves their purposes.
