The Porta Powers in excellent shape got attachments with it as well all for $5. The DAM works but has seen better days. Still for $5 I wasn't gonna let it sit there either.

I like the DAM color too. It's gonna need a good cleaning, it's kinda stinky LOL I got a couple of other goodies as well. This german made Braun food processor that matches my Braun mixer and juicer and it's in beautiful condition and works well.

And this GE toaster oven,, the fun kind with the flip up door. I have numerous of these and sold some on Ebay for good coin. This is the first one I've ever seen that isn't black. It's yellow with faux woodgrain.

That's strange, I found the black and chrome version of your toaster oven in The Mustard Seed in Fort Pierce today, but I left it because I think I already have it. I like yours. I also have a larger GE with I think DIY woodgrain Contac paper. Your food processer is also stellar. I'm way behind posting my goodies, lot of bad juju going down.

Stunning Hoovers & stuff, Pete. You go to the nicest places. :-) Gotta luv blue on anything. Dundas Street at Lyle...is that out Dundas East, before or after The racetrack? McHardy Vacuums is out that way, too. I do know of a Can Trust out that way so I'll have to check it out, Saturday soonest. I ordered bags for the Sanyo Transformax yesterday and they came in today. I find this peculiar piggyback vacuum design quite endearing since it is very quiet and does pull 65". After work I headed over to Bill Ellisons Vacuum Repair Shop to pick them up...

Bill is 76 years old and started the shop in his converted extended garage back in the 50s. Repairs any small appliance and Stratford folks have been going to him for decades. He has his own big collection in the attached house but I've not yet been let into the inner circle. But Bill thinks I'm a hoot, always listens closely and rubs his chin. Chats a little more each visit. He's seen a few of mine and certainly hears all about the latest ones when I'm in. So, some day... He had, just in brand new for a customer, a PERFECT upright in chrome but as he was closing I didn't have time to examine it closely. But I did spot in the cash register display case a few items of interest. First, a blue rubber trapazoidal bristle dusting brush. He confirmed it was Eureka so I brought it home to complete the caddy for the Viking 107. I'd added the crevice tool a few days back and had two upholstery (one Sunbeam) nozzles filling the remaining holes.

!!!!!! Worlds Fair Logo!!!!!
ah, probably knows what it is and is asking too much, he said, wishing he could just take tomorrow off work. :-) Well Pete, if you happen to head out to Petrolia very soon, I stoopidly left behind, by brain fart incident, two small (mixmaster Jr sized) hand mixers with beaters of Jet Age shape - one has a blocky body and grill like a Morris Major and the other is streamlined bakelite with fins! sorta like the handy hanna but not. Go get them, Mr Hand Mixer Man! You'll luckily find them where I stashed them while exploring the rest of the store. Where we found all that vacuum stuff last time? Well, under the table end (where I spotted the turquoise pet groomer & hose) in a box shoved back under, on the opposite side of the aisle where I snatched the Monitor and Filter Queen tools. Didn't find much in vacuum bits there this time around. :-( Got that bin of tools elsewhere. I also left behind somehow the beaters for another standless canadian Westinghouse Whale Beater with the decal intact this time. They have two knurled bands at the top of the stems...may have left them on his desk or somewhere in the Mixer/juicer bowls section that I was searching through with an insane fervor. Last Saturday's plans came up fast Saturday morning. I drove through Watford and got the $4 Transformax at the Vincent De Paul store. I met my Ridgetown friend Patrick in Petrolia wher we toured the town & shops and then we headed back to Ridgetown and thence to Woodstock for a 'Fondue Party'. I called your number twice but got no answer thinking you might come out on the bike but... With rain forecast for the weekend I don't know yet if I'm gonna make the trip this Saturday...

My mom had that model Mixette, she had a new cord put on it sometime after we moved here, she got rid of that and a late '50s yellow West Bend years ago. I would swear that the $15.00 Mixette I keep seeing in the Red Rooster Antique Mall is her old mixer, after those owners gave it up. It has the same type cord ours had.

Well done, Pete!
Oh Pete, you are a treasure and a credit to your forebears! Well, I meant you should get the mixers for your shelf but if you have them already...:-) Yes, I had that Hermes opened up and was considering it for its completeness and the green keys. LOL Yupo, that was me stacked those juicer bowls & reamers so neatly. :-) and put all the slicing discs in one big box with the other food processer stuff... | ||

That's good news - must be for actual radiator slots, eh
As for the blue tools...Rats! :-( OK, party-pooper Doug, if you say so. :-) and yeah, I've seen the pic on your site. All's I know is Pete & I found that Viking with the hose beside the caddy with the matching blue floor tool and most of the almost but not quite matching other blue tools in it. The small Eureka Vibra-beat was on the other side of the building and the large one I found months later. I did once mistakenly have a robin's egg blue Sunbeam branded triangular upholstery brush in there...and now I shine a bright light on the tableau NONE of the tools other than the rug nozzle are the right shade of turquoise-y blue for the Viking. The Vibra-beats are really more of a bathroom mint green. LOL So, while it's true they didn't come as the Viking/Eureka set, until a gray set comes along (or I get a suitable blue Eureka vacuum) together they shall stay as 'The Assorted Sorta Blue Tools Display' as they look purty together, fit the otherwise empty caddy holes well and don't come close to matching anything else blue/green in the collection. It is daunting how many different shades blue comes in. Just have to grab 'em all when I spot 'em in thrift stores, I think. Nothing matches the vibrant joy of GE Roll-Easy Turquoise or Compact's paint & plastics. Even this flash picture plays tricks on the rods & cones - in daylight the pale true blue Sunbeam is so much different from the others and yet here it appears to match the rubber Eureka floor and dusting brush.
