Well, we had intended to do no shopping today.... but then our ShopVac started to complain with a loud grinding sound... bearings were hot & grinding, called around... found the most prevalent advice... get a new one... you will never get the right bearings here- go online.........
Ace had the same ShopVac on their Black Friday ad (cheaper than shipping or special order charges for the bearing)... it was near the end of the "Sale Morning" & I was sure that there would be nadda.... but hubby came back a proud vac-pappa.... said there were lots on the floor...mind you - this is Keaau.... and we bought a vacuum (not your bells & whistles electronic-must-have-Xmas item) but ...
The Ace did have enough of them in stock in the normal hours of Black Friday morning, so that is our BF saga.... 'cept now we have another ShopVac that only needs a bearing that will cost more than a new vac!
