This was offered to me - anyone interested?

Like the humane society... ...if no one adopts, you put it down. Because I have (even temporarily) saved a machine (like the Magic-Aire) from the landfill doesn't mean that I am now obligated to preserve it as a vacuum cleaner. No one is going to hang that millstone around my nibbled neck.

...for example, Here is a Universal Vacuum Cleaner that I destroyed (arguably). It is a question of which "value" should win the day. The reason I post the pic is in case there is someone out there who has a special/personal interest that I should take into consideration.

Irreplaceable Artifacts Landfills are full of irreplaceable artifacts from by-gone eras. There has to be more criteria than irreplaceable.

Recall that I do assemblage sculpture pieces from vacuum cleaners, etc. It is my policy, when encountering something unusual, to post a pic before I destroy it. Is there any reason I should not destroy this machine turning it into fine art?

Thank you. I love you guys.

F-1 code. Local (good guys) parts people say board discontinued, but can send it in for a rebuild for $299. Fair?

Thrift Store Find - Sears All keys work. Fun to hear the fan get up to speed.

Tri-Star? Actually, this is a Compact - old and nasty.

Check it out. Google Leda and the Swan, it gets pretty trippy.

Barbie's havin' a bad day.

Brandon Let me make it tough for you, pal. Bring something(s) by that you think is a fair trade and it's yours (smile). And what the heck, I might buy you coffee.

Lewyticrous As you know, I tend to cannibalize cleaners for my 'art'. I have this item in storage. If anyone is interested in it for parts or as a start in the Lewyt area, let me know. Be happy to trade for Compacts, or L shaped Lux's (I don't need motors or attachments)

Refrigerator Door Art, PicB ...and then, I move the refrig magnet to reveal the wet buckskin contest. The painting was done by a local artist. I did the magnet.

Refrigerator Door Art, PicA I prefer original art. (Sorry face washed out by camera flash)

Gunboat

Barbie Trailer ...or, maybe you could turn it into a Barbie Trailer.

Toys Compared Here is the toy Hoover with two model vacs I made from upholstry tools. I think mine are cuter than Hoover's. But that might be the socks.

Brandon - Blades and Runner Blades from a GE reciprocating desk fan. The fan motor label includes the legend "Alternating Current Fan Motor." I just love when current alternates. Runners from Westinghouse canister vac - put on backward.

Another view Underneath. This toy is fairly proportional, except it has a long wooden handle so a kid could walk around pushing it.
