 I suppose what you could do with the vacuum cleaner is open the wee
 slider on the tube that bleeds air in for vacuuming curtains (at least,
 that's what the handbook for mine says it's for). 
I have always wondered what the wee slider
thing was for.  Now I know.  That was the most
useful post I have read in years.

Many years ago I used the nozzle on a vacuum
cleaner to repair a tweeter on a Monitor Audio
speaker.  Although it worked, the final result
didn't look very pretty.  I would therefore
suggest trying the cardboard tube first.
