[gottahaveahoove]

It's been a while since I've posted any pics. A few people have asked for some.  Last night, while talking to Tom..Tom who? Well, Anderson... he also asked for a glimpse.


So, before a lot get packed up foe safekeeping, I'll post.


 Any requests?


 

 

[gottahaveahoove]

maybe some "Elites"

from an "elitest".. Sounds good

 

[gottahaveahoove]

So, thought I'd just walk around and take a few

Quick shots.

Great fun, John. Thanks for sharing photos of some of your collection. I like the design of the percolators.

Photo Suggestion: Add model numbers.

Photo Request: Convertible 574 and Shampoo-Polisher 5466 (not the common 5460)

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Which Convertible is that?

I'll see if I have it.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

I was looking at the "Picture of the Day"

And realized, that, except for about machines, I have all of those products. Yay!!!!!!

 

[gottahaveahoove]

I'm missing:

The large commercial, the big laundry, the commercial polisher, and, t ge toothbrush I sh. But, pretty much, everything else... could be considered a well- equipped. HOOVER HOUSE!

 

[huskyvacs]

[gottahaveahoove]

Thanks!

There's more to come.

Convertible model 574 ... Here's a screenshot of hoover1060's YT vid of its Canadian counterpart, model 576:

Actually, if you have all three US models of that color line I'd like to see it (574, 434, 2200).

P. S. Interestingly, the only newspaper ad I found for the 574 (Aug 9, 1962 edition of the SPOKANE DAILY CHRONICLE) identifies the colors as Tangerine & Pearl White (I had thought it was Canton Red & Pearl White):

 

[gottahaveahoove]

I do have that

"Strawberry".  I'll take a pic tonight.


  I'll check for the others.


 

 

[paul]

Ah, didn't realize that my request was "in season"! That makes me hungry for strawberries and cream or even a tangerine.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

I'll show that when I get home.

It has a generic vinyl bag. It is missing the little wire clamp that holds the bag apparatus on. I got one, but, cant' get it on the machine.


 You'll see.


 

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Here it is.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Here are a few more

A stellar 28, also.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

I must add,

the pink, floral bag Convertible (the perfect one), and the electric blanket came from the great late Mr. Dick Pike.

Thanks, John. Unless it was pictured but unidentified, I found no "Convertible 574" in my VL archives or other online searches; although I did find one mention that identified it as a rare bird.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Here are some

More.

Headlight lens

Hi John, been a while. Did the #27-28 upright originally have a lens over the headlight bulb? Neither of mine have one and was curious. Thanks,Billy

 

[vacuumlad1650]

Yes they originally did. It was just a thin, clear peice of plastic. Any that remain today have yellowed with age and are brittle.

I'm still trying to navigate the new "site". The GUV,and deluxe Convertible are at my aunt's home. I also thought I'd pay a little tribute to the "Brits". You know that " staircase" has been a topic, for years. Luckily, I'm able to post pics myself, and not be reliant know others to do it for me. I'm learning. More to come
