My grandmother called all cameras "Kodaks"

In my 30s I had a couple of Kirby vacuum cleaners. They were nicely made, with big aluminum castings. They were easy to work on, and I knew three different vacuum repair shops where I could get parts.
The coolest thing about Kirbys is the range of accessories you can get for them, like a grinder and a flexible tool attachment that you could put a buffing pad on, and turn the machine back on itself to polish its own castings, anticipating Azimov's self-repairing robots.
