    Which were the first and last Henry Dreyfuss Hoovers?

    Now I've woken again and am a bit more alert... And I've done some searching on the net.. I think I maybe have been correct with what I said above.. Also just to clarify with the info I've found surrounding his death. He committed suicide on Oct 4th 1972.. There is a whole section on him on...

    Which were the first and last Henry Dreyfuss Hoovers?

    I may be wrong and bearing in mind I'm just about to go to bed here in the UK so my mind is not fresh... But.. I think his first was the Hoover Model 150 in 1936. And I think his last was the Model 82 constellation in 1954.. Don't anyone blame me if I'm wrong.. I'm tired.. LOL

Like the idea of one of those GTech AirRams though... I'll blame PaulC for that.. I hadn't seen one of those...

    3 Kirby Restorations

    Recently, I was made redundant after 17 Years with the same employer. When I left a few months ago I decided to take a few months to myself to travel and concentrate on my hobbies, one of which is restorations. I usually restore Radios and Record players, but having a deep love and appreciation...
