Quite a few of us just finished a wonderful mini-meet a Jeff's house in Chicago. Many free vacuums were exchanged thanks to both Jeff and Kyle. Jeff showed us his new central vac that Owen Perkins had installed for him. We tried several power nozzle combinations including a Dial-A-Matic. Many of the PNs performed well due to the high waterlift of the central vac.
We also visited Mr. Fix It in Chicago and a few of us picked up some machines and parts that we had been looking for. That evening we had dinner at one of Jeff’s favorite restaurants. A group of us also had breakfast together the following morning. It was a fun time and I hope everyone had a safe trip back home. |

shared a tip with us. She told us to save the pistol grips when disposing of an old braided Electrolux hose. The pistol grip can be reused on both Electrolux and generic Electrolux hoses. Bob swapped the pistol grip out on his.

gave me this sweet Hoover model 25. It was decades ago, well more than 20 years, but I still cherish it. It had a personal connection to Jeff, which makes it all the more special. He's a good man with a ton of knowledge. There are several other machines that Jeff gave me, but this one is my all time favorite.
