Kodachrome is Dead.......... All Kodachrome is gone. I work at Kodak in Rochester, NY and they are indeed discontinuing Kodachrome Film. Its really too bad as its a great film, especially for slides. Its drawback is that its chemically intense and the processing is a three step one verses...

Kodak Copiers and Digital Printers Working in the Digital Printing Division of Kodak, We use Ametek Lamb motors to feed paper into the printers. Vacuum holds the paper down on perforated belts. The motors we use from them now are the brushless DC type motors that are just coming into use in...

I'm sticking around here........ I've signed up on the new site, but still plan to lurk and post here too. I've met alot of nice people here and intend on sticking around even though washers and dryers are not collectable for me. I'll have to admit there are some pretty cool looking washers and...

If you need 1149 parts........ I have at least a dozen 1149's up in the parts barn. Don't hesitate to ask if you need something. I also have alot of 1140 and u5015 DAMs for parts. Good job in the restoration, guys. No doubt it was a fun job to do. Joe

Fun Times Yes, indeed, it looks like you guys had a productive day in North Canton. I'm glad you found some nice machines. Have fun tomorrow too! Joe

Here is another one A model 35 with a headlight. Tom and I got to the bottom of it as I found two this way. Apparently is was a vac shop rebuild. Joe

I've seen my sahre too Here is a pic of a pathetic model 31 I got for $2.99 at a thrift store. PS pardon the mess in the barn. This was taken a few years ago. Joe

Yep, I found one I found a junk 31 upstairs this evening. The bail is in good shape. If your interested, email me at [email protected] and we can work out the details of getting it to you. Too bad this wasn't last week, I was out in North Canton this past weekend and could have dropped...

You may be in luck Corey, I think I might have a junk 31 up in the barn that has a bail. I'm at work, but I'll check tonight when I get home. I'll post this evening whether I have it or not. Either way, I'll let you know. I'm pretty sure there is one though. Joe

Color Combo..... Rob and Corey, The colors of that Connie threw me at first. As I was walking over to it, I was thinking "did it get painted?" Only after turning it over did I realize it was a UK machine. Also, before I saw the UK info I briefly thought Canadian model too. Yes, that Connie...

The voltage was 110 because it was sold on a US military base in Germany. I guess it was easier to get vacuums for the military families from Europe than ship them from the States. It does sound a bit different than the US connies. But you have to hear them side by side to hear the difference...

Many Many Thanks........... Thanks got out to Tom and Heather for hosting me this weekend. I had a great time and as always it goes too fast. Now its back to work. Still all the memories of vac hunting are fresh in my mind and will be there every time I work with these machines I found in North...

its supposed to be... It rode home with me, not hoe with me. God, my fingers don't type well. Joe

To Get this home..... This British Connie rode hoe in the front with me. I wasn't taking any chances of it bouncing around in the back of the truck on the way home. Here is a pic of it ready to depart Tom's place. Its now safely home in my living room awaiting a spot with my other connies...

What Fantastic Vacuums!!!!!!!!!!! I really love this thread. I'm seeing things that I never saw except in advertisements! And I would consider myself a veteran collector now. Robb, that Westinghouse Carousel is sweet! I have a beat up Kenmore version that I'm debating whether its salvagable...

On my backup disk... I found a picture of a few of my GE vacuums. Joe

The data plate These are pics off of my backup disk. The machine still looks the same.

I have a few rare machines, but the wife is out of town with the camera. I did find a shot of my Electrolux Model T. Joe

Second the Tempo Jason, Go for that Tempo Fred's offering. That is a nice inexpensive machine. Sounds perfect for what you want. Only drawback is that its not retro looking, but the Connie will offer you that. The Tempo, with proper care, will last quite a while. Joe

Temporary? Jason, For what you want and the fact that its temporary, I'd get a Panasonic or one of those cheaper Hoover bagged uprights. The Hoovers will be in Kmart or Wally Mart. The Panasonics would be at vac shops. They should be between $50 and $90, maybe less. The Eureka upright you...
