Don't worry.... ....be Happy, you are not alone, I too am a local Wisconsinite and first timer (Vacuum Virgin!)

Nice On the fly repairs, I love it!

I can't say enough About John Gregory, he is the go-to guy for finding long out of stock Hoover parts, if he doesn't have it, he can certainly point you in the right direction!

Wait a minute, Charlie.... The bar is on the other end of the Hotel!!!!

Thanks, Charlie... And I also have items for the free table! See you guys soon.

More Hotel info Found a layout of the place on their website, does anyone know what meeting room we are going to be in? Just called the hotel, they did not know, Thanks. http://www.clarionmilwaukee.com

It sounds like Your brushroll is incorrectly assembled, The compression washers go in between the roll caps that are tightly fitted to the roll and the bearings, then the endcaps are screwed to the rod ends, screw them tightly in opposite directions. Also for your clips, just bend them...

Nice find Jamie For only 99p, sweet.

This is my Mother's Hoover Dial-a-Matic. It's a model U6003. She bought it at Wieboldt's in Chicago some time in the very early '70s. The switch broke. I fixed it. Now it's in my collection. Dad bought her a brand new Hoover Wind Tunnel w/ power drive model #U6485-900 for her birthday, she...

It looks.... Awesome!
