Sounds right These are very very rare. Depending on what year it was built. Does it look like a Kirby, or like the early hoovers? THEY WERE MADE IN OMAHA! I am from omaha. | ||

Ocala, NOT Omaha Brandon, no offense, but the Bisons were made here in Ocala, Florida, not Omaha. There should be a metal tag on the machine that says Ocala, and the owner's manual at one point had a picture of the plant facing Interstate 75. The former plant site is about three miles from my home. It's currently the visitor center and executive offices for E-One fire trucks. | ||

Rick I was pretty sure myself that they were made down here in Florida. They are one strange machine that is for sure. | ||

I have a little fun with my Mark II every once in a while. I'll start it on low in the garage (with the door open, of course). Then I gradually turn up the speed, and the whine increases like a jet revving for takeoff, until the motor's screaming at full speed. Makes the neighbors wonder what's gonna come flying out of the garage. | ||

So what should I offer the guy? Anyone have a good price range that I should offer? I don't want to lowball him and have him get mad. Thanks, Dave | ||
