joeyk3950 Shade Tree Mechanic Registered: 12/23/09 Posts: 33 Loc: Central New York	A friend is giving me a 1957 vacuum ash tray accessory. He said it needs hoses. Was there any literature or in instructions that accompanied this accessory? Lengths of tubing? Hook-up where? Were there markings or"striads" on the tubing? joeyk3950 _________________________ Joseph Patrick James Kearney
