Thrifty Mondays haul o plenty

This is getting bad....resistance is futile and I just can't help myself.
Firstly I found this Kirby Heritage vacuum in dire need of polishing but otherwise works beautifully for a mere $5

After leaving the Bibles for Missions thrift where I got the Kirby the car being on auto-pilot stopped at Value Village where this near impeccable Panasonic Jet Flo wound up in the trunk of my car. These Jet-Flo's are pretty decent vacs. They're basically the updated Hoover Dial a Matic, Hoover sold the patent to Panasonic, nice and quiet, brush on/off, bag indicator, suction control and those hoses and attachments fit on the back similar to the DAM.

I barely got out of Value Village and I was whisked over to the Goodwill. I don't usually find much of interest in there cept today.
This still in beautiful condition Sunbeam Floor Conditioner aka polisher...not sure they year yet.

Oh I forgot to mention,, the Panasonic vac I paid $14.99 a bargain for that good vacuum.. the Sunbeam..even better $4.99. Then this Cuisinart blender was sitting there at Goodwill as well so I took it home. It's not that great,, made in China clap trap sporting the Cuisinart name and noisy but it'll go on the shelf all the same.

This I bought of Ebay and it arrived today, thankfully intact and spotless, something you don't usually get. A Panasonic Recipe blender from the 70's in avocado. Quite unique. There's a big window of different items and you twirl the dial, actually its a timer, to line up with what you're blending, press the button and she blends.. There's 4 different windows/speeds..you push the big white button and the cards flip over to reveal more recipes. Love Panasonic stuff from the 60's and 70's. They had neat things and always high quality.

It is fun to see that Panasonic blender again. They had some wonderful small appliances, radios, TVs and things at that time. A neighbor had a small portable b&w TV of theirs, I think it was yellow and black. What was cool about it for the time was you turned it on and it was instant picture, which was a new experience then for those used to tube units.
