Today I was on my bike and went to the other side of town to grab some lunch, when I decided to stop by the Pawn Shop and a resale shop to browse around before I ate lunch, just in case I found something. Ohh did I find something(s)=]. I walked into the resale shop, and didn't see much but some bags and a Dirt Devil Hand Vac I passed up. I picked up some Hoover J bags, and when I turned around I noticed something I hadn't seen the first time I circled the store. A 1983 Kenmore Canister, with the hose and power nozzle. It did not have any of the other attachments. I was ready to check out when I asked the lady if there were any other vacuums in the back, she said there was and I could go look if I wanted. I found a real nice black Eureka Smart Vac with all of the attachments. It just needs a new belt. Of course, I have no clue how to get into bare floor mode. I also spotted a familiar hose. Buried under boxes was a Hoover Spirit. No attachments, except the hose and an extension wand. I also saw an odd Kenmore canister hose, but no canister. There was a few Kenmore attachments, that would of fit the canister I got, but I didn't bother, and there was also a G3 Shampooer I passed up. So I paid $4.99 for the Kenmore, $9.99 for the Eureka, $5.99 for the Spirit, and $.5O for the Hoover bags. But it doesn't stop there. I passed up the Pawn Shop and went to goodwill, where I found an ABSOLUTE mint condition Eureka F and G upright. There is not any scratches on it, teh bag and cord are completely white. It was in the back and I said I would buy it As Is, so I got it for 6 dollars. There was Hoover Tempo bagless thing they had but I didn't bother. So today I got two things I really wanted, the Kenmore and Smart Vac, and two favorite vacuums, an F and G and the Spirit! Chase |
