Charles, the fact that you gladly publicise your own listings and resent the posting of other listings speaks volumes! You've heard this before, but of course you will not see the connection.
Bee-Vac or Apex? A looker, isn't she?

I had one of those for a while. i remember them when they came out new, but i got mine thrifting for just a few dollars.
i was impressed by the cleaning performance. my machine wasn't too loud, and i had attachments too. i bet it cleaned better than a Dyson DC07 (then again, most machines do)...
You will want to see if your machine uses the one or two screw brushes. Most are one, I think. You will want to Google vacuum shops in metro areas near you. Call as many as possible. As soon as they answer, ask if they might have OLD Hoover parts. I wish i had extras.
Here in TX, Murphys has...
Here is your chance to try the double-brush agitator. Works well on any Convertible. This agitator puts less stress on the belt and motor than the CWP brushroll. Great on pet hair, and for very heavy carpet. Runs somewhat quieter than the beater bar agitator. Genuine Hoover product...
If i recall correctly, the model 60 was the first Hoover to take paper bags standard. The models 60,61,and 62 all took the reusable hygienisac/handisac bag, later known as type W. The model 63 used a "throw away" bag now known as type C.
Sounds like the large commercial canister. Oreck sold these up until very recent. I always wondered what the powernozzle on that thing was like.
I also wonder who made these for them?
You go, 'Boy!
I hope you will show it to us once its cleaned. For one hundred dollars, youd think the sellers coulda wiped it with a old sock or something...
...on ebay. Pricey! but what a looker, huh?

i have a similar, older model. love it. about twice as powerful as a similar Hoover broom, and twice as quiet! maybe the best electric broom ever made.
mine has a powernozzle and cleans as well as an upright. if the cost of bags doesnt matter, its a perfect choice. overall better lightweight...
Wonderful. Looks fabulous with those carefully chosen replacement parts. The owner is one lucky lady!
When and if i reach the age of this machine, how wonderful it would be to be as easily and thoroughly rejuvenated!
There's still 5 days left in your auction so it's wa
You said it Pete!
Also, include as many key words in your title, like "vacuum" and "upright". Many folks dont search by category and you want them to have the best chance at finding your listings, right?
