The bag.

Another picture.

Hello, Here are some pics of a nice Blue Hoover convertible I "rescued" from the local thrift last week. I got her for the price of 9.99. This is model U4021 with original bag. Was scuffed as usual (perhaps that is best, makes for a cheaper price). I have since removed the black goo with Pete's...

That is a lovely vacuum. I love the different settings for carpets and upholstery. I bet that was top of the line in its day.

Hi Alan, Yes that is the one. I am not sure if it is from 1960 though, I thought maybe from the 70's actually. It is the model 843, the "tilty" top one. The man that I bought it from is an elderly man and he has another Connie that he uses on his car. He said he no longer vacuums since his wife...

Hi Mike, I sent you an email regarding the Floor scrubber. Oh, and I will take photos of it later when I am done with work.

Thanks Chris, Thanks for the info. Yes, It looks like what he did was glue this hose onto the original end. I am sure glad I purchased that curved hose end, I almost didn't, but figured I might as well grab everything Hoover they had in the bin. At least for now, I am getting use out of it...

Hi, I have a Regina floor scrubber down in my garage. It has a bunch of different pads to go with it.

Wow, it took you 3 years...I do feel fortunate now. I don't think Hoover modified it as much as perhaps the previous owner. I think this is a different hose than what was intended for the machine originally. Right now I am using Electrolux tools and wands with it.

Eureka Also, the E on Eureka was the lightening bolt E. Was that from the 70's?

Alan, It wasn't exactly 24 hours later, but still finding the tools 3 days after receiving it was great. When I went through that bin and saw the Floorcarpet tool, I just about wanted to scream with joy. I figured that would be a hard piece to locate, then I found all the other stuff too. I...

0ops typo in the thread title. Supposed to be "found while thrifting, not forund. That's what happens when you post while working.

My next stop was an old used furniture place in Allentown that I had only been in once, a couple of years ago. They always had various odds and ends and were more like a thrift store than a furniture shop. Right away I spotted a Eureka upright, but she wanted 19.95 for it, and since I don't...

As you are aware, I didn't have any luck the other day while thrifting. Well, I tried a couple local thrift shops here in Allentown and found a few things I was looking for. My "new" constellation, did not come with any attachments. I remembered a Thrift store in town here that always had...

That's a fine looking celebrity! You might want to tell the lady who runs the vacuum shop that rather than throwing out the attachments she gets in, you will be more than happy to take them off her hands.

Oh course they are there Alan, you provided them with a perfect landing strip.
