Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

How many on the forum run their own vac shop, and what brands do you sell and service.

Hows business?

Is your service department picking up the slack for very low sales?

Are you getting the feeling that its only becoming a hobby?

Hows this for a owners perspective, Business is  great when i started i had nothing ,Now i owe 200 grand.......

I collect old vacuums, mainly canisters from Panasonic, Kenmore and Electrolux.  Any dealers have some old Kenmore straight hoses or hose ends I could buy?  I have a couple of mid 80s Kenmore budget canisters that used a unique straight end hose with the hose clip on the side of the hose end and some older '60s and '70s canisters I need hoses and hose parts for.  I never know what is hanging around some vacuum shops back room/bone yard unless I ask.  Thanks.
