    Vacuum Booms

    Does anyone sell just the boom portion that could be added to an existing vacuum? I would like to upgrade to boom/arch type vacuum but can't justify the investment at this point. My current vacuums look and work fine - just wondering if I could add a boom for an upgraded look. TIA
