I been watching a public surplus site for schoor items they are getting rid of it have excess of. There's been NSS pigs sold with 6 proteam backpack Vacuums. There has been numerous and they all got bid up higher than dirt cheap so I watched them go.
I noticed an NSS pig on with no bids and I guess it's missing it's bag. I'm pretty sure I can make a bag for it. Well with taxes and fees I got if for $4.30. it's an hour drive but I get off super early Friday I'll pick it up then. I did make another transaction that's just been finalized. I'm not going to say anything but I will soon be more information available. I got a big pig. I hope it rus good and doesn't need anything other than a good cleaning. Les |

good find. the newer models are the matte black painted style. keep the front trap clean and will make the fan last longer. I got a surplus one from my local school district were I work as a janitor. it the faded older yellow model. great vac for car cleaning and bulk dry pickup |

Here is another vacuum I would like to take out for a test drive. Saw one of these in the 70's at a local pharmacy and would have given my eye teeth to have the chance to make a few passes over the carpeting in the store. |

So when will we see the pig and see it in the field eating? The audience awaits... Has anyone found any old (60s-80s) classroom record players in these school auctions lately? I am craving to get a few more of them for some odd reason. |

A couple days. I organized my shed so I could polish three royals so I can put them on eBay and sell them. I will post pics but may be like Friday because I work 9.5 hour shifts Monday through Thursday and four hours Friday. I start school two hours every Monday and Wednesday. Just so you know when I'll get pics.

Well my wife seen the pig and wasn't happy. My dad's neighbor who's a mechanic owned one. He seen me show my dad the vacuum. I had to get rid of it. I sold it to my dad's neighbor. He had an older pig.
I did with the money I got for selling it got a vacuum listed for $300 on eBay for $120. It's a eureka cordaway with what I believe is a hi low switch on the handle. It has three setting on another switch. If I did my research right it was a top of the line model. I'm pretty sure the bag might be original but doesn't have the solid frame built into the bag. |
