Been waiting for this to come out. It was my first Ambo when I went to work for the Northwest Florida Ambulance Service in 1973. We called it Triple Nickel since it's unit # was 555. Same paint scheme. Plan on getting this and removing any decals that are wrong and making my own. Already have several of the old crew wanting one when I get them in.

Rich, I did correspond with Joe at American Excellence and he is going to try and see if he can help. What a nice effort to help a customer, even if it turns out unsuccessful - at least he is willing to try! Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks guys. Tried the pantyhose trick, no luck. Also contacted the manufacture and again, no luck. They advised they come prepackaged to them for distribution to customers and they do NOT deal in spare parts

To find it put a piece of pantyhose or other thin cloth over the end of the vacuum hose. Then suck over the area and if you pick it up it will be filtered onto the pantyhose.

HELP!! Don't know if anyone can aid me, but here goes. I got my first edition of the 1970 Suburban ambulance (white/orange). What an amazing little model. Unfortunately, when taking the plastic cover off the display case, I slipped and it dropped onto the driver side of the model. The spotlight and driver side mirror were broken off. The spotlight was an easy fix, but the mirror dropped off my desk and into the no-mans land of the carpeting on my office floor. Several fruitless days of searching on my hands and knees with a high-power light turned up nothing. Is there any way to get replacement parts for these models? I HATE to have this little gem remain this way. Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions.

Still waiting to see the first one in the catalogs (maybe missed it?), but I think I like this one better.

This is a thing of beauty. It is going to be tough to resist adding it.
