No, you never send stuff like this to the scrapyard. All the things you listed can go to an antique museum. People that waste everything to the scrapyard for 10 cents for antique machinery are really stupid. You don;t buy an antique house just to strip all the antiques out and throw them away. If you don't like old things move into a house built in 2016, not 1916.

I'm not sure if he is a member here but Owen Perkins on YouTube would be someone to reach out to. He's has at least one other TUEC and an expert on central vacs.
You're definitely not the first story I've heard of someone cleaning out their "turn-of-the-century" home with one of these. There's a bunch of videos of TUECs online but never of them actually operating as a built-in system. I'm also wondering about @rugsuckers questions. Were you able to turn it on and feel suction from the inlets before it was removed? It would be amazing to see one in use, if any are still installed and in operating condition over a century later. http://youtube.com/user/nativetexan19288/about |
