thanks for the support with the thread I wrote about antique dealers not understanding us appliance collectors. and yes I am also a vacuum collector. the antique dealer that prompted my rant is about 70 and she claims she has never seen an old vacuum cleaner. really?I mean really? I made the mistake of asking her to look for old vacuums at a show she was going to in the last couple weeks. When I started my washer collection a few years ago. I agonizingly spoke to countless antique people about looking out for one for me. to say it was frustrating would be a gross oversite. the worst thing I have ever seen is a wringer machine without the motor outside for 20years and the guy wanted 350 for it. I couldn't believe it. thanks Bill
