Title: Two Vintage Vacuums Arrived Today: A Vaclight and a Bustler.
Post by: MVacs on March 19, 2019, 03:13:32 pm

I saw these for sale on Instagram and picked them up. The first one is a Bustler:

I know RustySkull had one of these (>topic here< (https://manchestervacs.co.uk/DysonForum/index.php/topic,2326.msg16649.html#msg16649))

The next one is something called a Vaclight.

I've never seen either before. Although we do have another Bustler (>topic here< (https://manchestervacs.co.uk/DysonForum/index.php/topic,2500.msg21187.html#msg21187))

Yes I saw that too. The Vaclight sounds nice as well. There is a short video where you can hear it on our Instagram page >>here<< (https://www.instagram.com/p/BvMa9WkHMuC/).  ;D

The reference in the Science Museum (https://www.scienceandsociety.co.uk/results.asp?image=10182249) says its 1950s.

Sounds nice that one, not like some nowerdays which can be deafening.

No, that's what people tell you, then when you do list it on ebay it sells for £7.45...
