A SUPER AWESOME amazing huge furniture store here in omaha has an old Grey Ghost maytag for sale.
Its $150 obo, The downside is the agitator is missing. (it has a metal pole there but thats i6
It seems complete. It looks ok just needs a good cleaning.
A little about the store-
-__
This place, called Kraft Furniture, has been in business for 63 years. A super kind elderly man runs the store and has a story on everything. The store is massive, 3 levels (basement not open to public though)
The first level is... oh my gosh.... heaven for me! A ton of vintage furniture, and its like a vintage hardware store all in one. All kinds of wiring stuff, right down to cloth covered wiring on spools. Electronics, advertisements, bolts, screws, pipes, hardwares, beds, tables, fans, lamps, vintage building signs, Little nic-nacks. Doo dads, mixers, records, glassware, cabinets....
Oh it goes on and on. It was so much fun. I only found one actual vacuum. It was a complete 1930s rainbow that was very nice. But he wanted $450 for it because he had printed out several ebay ads of the same model selling for over $500. Oh well.

The 2nd lower level is all brand new furniture, and the basement is storage and other random stuff.
He took me into the basement to show me this SUPER industrial vacuum cleaner, the brand was a Hild. Holy cow. It was a square, probably 2 feet square, all metal, Flat top, with a blue dump out bag coming out the top. Two motors. One for the massive brush roll that I could probably stick my arm through, and another heuge one for the vacuum. He said he will find out something about it and he would sell it. It was kinda cool, but probably weighs 60 or more pounds.
Comes to the Rescue!
