yeah in good shape vacuum wipers are as good as electrics. they just
deteriorate over the years. once revived they're great.

i mean seriously, it used to actually rain in the 1920s, 30s, 40s, etc and
windshields got wiped OK. Really.

i'll have to make a youtube video of mine working fine, slow and fast as
desired, with the engine lugging up in hill throttle wide open before anyone
believes me.

What's the rush to eliminate the things that make old cars wierd and fun?
Bench seats, column shifts, overdrive, vacuum wipers, chrome and metal, AM
radios with tubes, 3-tone paint, 18-inch steering wheels...!
