Thanks everyone for all of the great information. these vacuums have quite the history Oh and I do have the hose and most all of the attachments.
(hoover28) the motor has a segment missing on the comutator and the bearings seem a little loose.
I have a hoover constellation model 85 that has a bad motor and was wondering if there are replacements or if any other hoover vac shared the same motor as the 85. thanks
