Hi Justin I am interested in buying the Hoover 300 and the Electro Hygiene. Please contact me at [email protected] and we can work out a deal that you can accept if they are still available. Thanks ! Jim

I have one New in the box I just bought. I have used these Vacs and they are really great at cleaning any kind of carpet. I would recommend one in a minute. Even tho I use and collect Royals, Hoovers and Eurekas I decided to buy one of these new and leave it in the box. I also bought the...

Multiplication :-) Welcome aboard John, I only know one member from the club in person but have talked to several. They are all a great bunch of guys with tons and tons of knowledge about vacuum cleaners. As said above by Jeff (my friend who lives close and we have "mini" meets as often as we...

I received the motor today from my Hoover 25 that I had sent Chris (Hoover28) to rebuild for me along with some parts for two other Vacs. When I opened the box the motor looked absolutely new and when installed purred like a Hoover. Thanks again Chris for a job well done. I really appreciate the...

I think and have been told that the straight and curved brush strips with no holes for screws may fit the older "coffee can" Hoovers. I am not sure of this but I feel someone else in the club may know. I am pretty sure Jeff told me that his 700 had the straight ones with no screw holes in and...

The motor is removed and on its way to Chris in NY to be rebuilt. He is going to make it look and work like a new one like he did that lady's beautiful model 28 he showed us. I can't wait to get it back home and put all back together and hear the purr it will make on the carpet. I had what I...

Hay Dave :-) Darren will know his surgery schedule next week and we will set our time then. I know this is short notice for you but we have no choice until we find out when he is scheduled for sugery and is on call. I am really looking forward to the trip. It is only 3 hours for us. I am so...

Thanks Chris !!!!!! I just got your email and sent a reply. I will call you tomorrow afternoon. You have made my day !!!! I just patted the 25 on the hood and told her she had a new motor coming and she grinned LOL. Thanks for now and more thanks to come ! Jim

Forgot this :-) If anyone has a motor from a Hoover 25 for sale or a parts vac that has a working motor I am very interested in buying it if it is for sale. Thanks !! Jim

Thanks Dave !!!` I have decided to take it to an electric motor rewind shop I know who gives free checks. I took a motor there from a Health-Mor and they condemned it. They will be honest with me and know what they see. Thanks again for this advise. I just have to save this vacuum because it is...

The sad saga continues :-( I took the Hoover 25 to the shop today and check the carbon brushes. They were nearly new if not new. So, I cleaned them a bit and replaced them after I ran a cleaning stick against the commutator turning it by hand. Plugged the vac in and turned it on and sparks flew...

I just left the shop and was looking through the Hoover things but heavens only knows what he has in Kenmore and Kirby things. I will be going back and will find out. He is the 2nd generation in this shop and his son is the 3rd so who knows what is in those two rooms. I will find out and let...

Oops I meant Have Not done damage to the commutator now. I have the hood off and it is cleaned and the dust is all gone from the motor. Since it is 2 AM here I will tackle the brushes tomorrow. I really do appreciate this information and your knowledge you have shared with me !!! Yes I just...

Thanks Rick and Chris !!!! I will NOT run this vac again until I have checked the motor brushes. Now that I know how to get the bloody hood off I can get to them to replace them. I just hope I have done damage to the motor now. Thanks again to both of you for this much needed and appreciated...

I have a couple of questions for the Hoover experts in the club. I just today added a very nice Hoover 25 to my collection. After emptying a full bag of old dirt and vacuuming out the bag good I began the cleaning of the unit itself. After I had it cleaned up so no dust would fly I plugged it in...

When you told me this Jeff, I knew immediately that we had a set of quads now. I am sure that yours matches at least one of mine. Mine are as you know all from different production runs and have many differences even tho they are all 801's. I am anxious to see it. Looking forward to going down...

Thanks Morgan :-) I was soooooooooo surprised when my friend who owns a vac shop called me about finding these in the back of his storage room. I was more surprised that he had 5 styles. These are about as rare as hens teeth unless you happen on to them. Happy Hoovering all :-)

Thank You !!! Being new at this I didn't know. Jim

Apology !! I think I may have posted this thread in the wrong forum. If so I am very sorry. I am new to this but that is no excuse for what I did. Hopefully it is not posted in the wrong place. Jim

Hello Hoover collectors, I have come across a lot of NOS Hoover brush strips set in lead for the Pre Convertible upright models. I will sell them for a firm price of $20.00 a set (including one each long and short strip) plus $3.00 handling and shipping. The following strips are available and...
