So stunning a resurrection, Rick, it's 'weep worthy'. What a lovely color. Mine is a pale orchid/mauve or maybe just severely sun-faded. (?) That's a Kirby hose. Duh. The diameter and coil is a match for the Westinghouse ends. I do need to find a T-6 dusting brush and hard floor nozzle... Say, has anyone come across a transparent blue spray coating paint - like in 'Crafty' stores? Haven't found anything locally. I seem to recall my brother used some on a model car back when we were teenage model builders. There are a light and a dark gray and a silver 'hammertone' like spray at the local hardware store and if I could find a nice transparent crystal blue it would be perfect over the hammertone for the pair of MONITOR canisters and the blue painted aluminum wands and tools. |

I enjoyed yourself and Mike so much! What a treat! I hope your flight back went well and you were able to re-adjust to the time changes etc. Thanks again for the compliments. Rick |

Those vacuums are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! Every one of your restorations that I have seen has been first class all the way! You've even taken machines that were so far gone that most of us would pass up, and turned them into works of art!! By the way, it was great seeing you again at the Convention! Jeff |
