Thanks for all the comments it's nice to see others ensemble. Dave I will scan in all the paper work as soon as I get my hands on a working scanner. I did not know that my tool kit was an early edition. The vac itself I believe is an an early edition because it has a metal hood? I picked up the...

Just had to show off my hoover model 28 now that I got in a set of tools for it. How common is the paper work, anyone want/need a scan of it?

Greetings all completed the restoration on my teal 454, everything was well and the vac running good sitting there hovering and was cleaning under my bed and all of sudden I hear this vibration like an out of balance washer toke me a sec to figure out it was the 454. It's not a consent problem...

Here is a photo. I have the rest of it outside hopeing it will rain or snow and clean it off a bit!

Thanks Thanks for the links, and ideal on year?

Greetings all, I picked up a Hoover Constellation 454 Turquoise, don't' have pics yet it's dirty but in good shape otherwise. Only the unit and floor hose and head. Paid 7 bucks at the local thrift center. Couple of questions: What year is it from? Were do I go to get supply namely the bag...

1926700 I used Bondo Glazing and Spot Putty to fill in all the scratches then sanded that smooth taped off the gold pin stripping primed it with Rust-Oleum Clean Metal Primer then followed up with Rust-Oleum Satin Dark Brown. There is a color difference between the new paint and the old paint...

Thanks Thanks for the comments! Toke me a few hours with waiting for drying time. I got the parts from Chris Sezwejk brushs and belts and it cleans as good as new.

Motor Cover Finshed Greetings thought I would post a photo of the restored motor cover.

Sandy Yes it's a plastic body vac, but it is screwed together. I am use to working on plastic, before I started on vacs all I did was computer and electronics repair getting tired of that now, been doing that since I was 8. Anyway I toke off the whole top end and washed all the plastic in the...

Jeff Thanks, yes the bag is in perfect shape, It has been fershly washed in that photo! Yes the hood is soild metal, aluminum I belive. I will surely post a photo up here when I get the hoold painted.

Edit, the Panasonic don't have bugs, just a thought if one did!

Thanks for all the answers, I found a Panasonic MC-E91N in the dumpster at the local thrift store, my third vac now. That got me thinking what do others do for bugs and such. I am not worried about illnesses, you can pick those up everywhere. I was talking about household bugs. Thanks again!

Greetings all, I have to ask what dose everyone do, to insure when you drag home a used vac that all the nasty stuff that may come with it such as bed bugs fleas and such, don't end up in your house? Do you have some kind of cleaning ritual you do? Is the testing done in some kind of shop space...

Found Parts With the help of two fourm members, I have found so far what I am looking for, I found the light bulb at ACE "Westinghouse Part #03722" 15W 120v. I will keep you updated as the resto progress.

Photos Thanks for the feeback so far, here are some photo's. I am going to repaint the motor cover. I have not desided if I want to paint the base, a almost 70 year old vac should have some battle scars.

If you could give me a part number or something that would be very helpful. The closed lowes is about 100 miles away. Also if anyone can come forward with a name of anyone who could rebrush my bar I will gladly pay to have it done!

I need to know were I can get my brush bar fixed, the brush bar has removable brushes in little metal trays like. Were can I find them? Also were do I find a replacement light bulb? Thanks,

Hello everyone, new member here. I just got back from monthly thrift store hunts and found a model 28 hoover, paid 4.99 for it. The motor seems to seem run quite and smooth. After removing the bag hook up at the bottom to pull out a paper clip. Of course crap fell out so I thought I would test...
