Being sold by Goodwill via E-bay. Starting bid is 9.99, but shipping may get expensive depending on location. It looks like it was repainted white.

That's a sad waste of two perfectly good vacuum cleaners. While I am entirely in favor of found-item art, including vacuum cleaners and parts, there should be artistic merit in the end product. Take the work of Jimmy Descant, for example (see photos). This "vac toilet" is just stupid and ugly.

Agreed. I really like the works of Descant that you shared. Not sure what they were going for with those poor vacuums.

Charles,
Vac-toilet!!! I didn't even notice that's what it looked like.
Yes this is a waste. I too am all for repurposing a vintage vacuum if it's beyond repair but make it count.

To bad it's not the electronic model.... It would be a "shocking" experience for the Tri-Star. hahahaha

Likely some idiot seen something on Pinterest and made it and then realized what a tacky pile of crap it was and got rid of it. The damage doesn't look to intrusive, I am sure they can be put back into working order assuming they have not been gutted like a kipper.
