Convention Goodies

[westytoploader]

With many wondering "Did ya'll take ANYTHING home from the Convention??", I had to post my "goodies" brought home from Omaha! Left to right:

1. 1970's Osterizer Imperial "Pulse-Matic" 10-speed blender...found this at an estate sale (Greg, you didn't take home any of those nice retro guns? ;-) ) and it was in such good shape I couldn't pass it up! I had to replace the locked-up blade assembly, but now it makes a great shake!

2. 1970's Eureka Stick Vac...this was a gift from "Toggle"! A very fun machine to use and has stronger suction (and much more noise) than my Hoover Quik-Broom. THANKS STEVE!

3. Westinghouse agitator duo...my party favor. I'm surprised no one grabbed this before I did, but I'm glad I did because the pre-WCI Westinghouse TL is of course my favorite machine!

4. Top cone of a Deep Action agitator...mom's party favor. Need I say more?

But wait, there's more!

Here's some repair literature that Greg insisted that I have...and that will definitely come in handy!

And here's some great literature showing off the 1960 Maytag line!

Thanks Greg!!

Here's my "service library" so far...you can't really tell but the Tech-Talk binder is literally stuffed full with Frigidaire repair literature.

And yes, I have two Westinghouse FL repair manuals, but only need the hardcover. Anyone interested in the extra let me know!

Again, a big THANKS to our gracious host for the great literature!!

Wow what a haul

One can never have too many blenders or vacs. Just leave the Stick Vac in your will to me, I already have that blender LOL

Austin-

Enjoy it in good health! I presume it runs? (Guess who forgot to plug it in to test it!)

PSSST- the price was crazy low --yo!!

Of all the things that screamed out to me (without uttering a word) "Take me home" this was one I could not resist!

May I use this quote? LOL LOL LOL

 

[westytoploader]

The quote's yours! (LOL)

It runs great with no strange noises! Now I'm off to find a Vibra-Beat nozzle for it!

... and I should KICK myself.

I had granny's mid '50s Eureka canister vac for YEARS in my parent's garage. Finally needed, wanted, ahd room for it, and brought it home.

Could not find style "L" bags.

UH HELLO THE WEB....BUT IT (THE WEB)WAS A BIT NEW AT THE TIME.

Got rid of the machine. Not one month later I walked into a store and those sass-a-frass-in bags were right in front of my face!!

I could kill myself!

The macihne was worthy of being collected on its own merit, but I still associated the sounds of it running with granny!

 

[toggleswitch]

Did I mention it had a vibra-beat?

WOOO-HOOO the downnstairs neighbors LOVED that little device in a wood frame apt buildng fform the mid to late 1800s. (No insulation between floors meaning levels/stories)!!!!!!

Cool ,Austin. Love the maytag lit. My mom has the same blender in harvest. I just polished it up a whike back and it looks new. Like all your pics!
