What do I have? I picked up a Tilia food saver this morning at an estate
sale. It doesn't appear to have a model number. It is aprox 24 " wide, 8"
deep and 4" high and heavy. It has the initials "F.L.A.E.M." and in very
small print LR63349. There is a stick on label FS-073553 which I suspect
is serial number. There is a knob on my left and on top of the unit that
transfers the vacuum from internal to external. There is a knob on my right
down on the side that I don't know what it does, it seems to have a number
of settings. There is also a slider on top that I assume is the cutter. It
appears to not have been used much but no manual and I'm not sure how
to make it go.
Anyone have one or can get me going so I don't mess things up experimenting?

I received my seal kit for my Vacupack today from Professional Marketing
(www.vacuumpackers.com) just 8 days after I dropped a check and order form
in the mail box. I thought that was pretty fast being that I sent a check as
payment. They also enclosed a tip sheet (for my model) and an 800 number for
any questions that I might have. RM~

Are their bags/rolls cheaper than Tilias? I haven't even got around to
checking on bags and etc. I got two un-opened rolls with my estate deal but
would think that pre-made bags would be a lot simpler.
I have noticed that Kohl's carries a full line of Tilia stuff and they give
seniors (dats me) 15% off of all purchases every Wednesday. RM~

Pre-made is simpler, but more expensive. Rolls give more flexibility of
size and allow you to make oversize to get more re-uses out of them.
