This is not one you see very often. Cute little Oreck type machine. Only took me six years to find a fan… lol. Was very dirty and gross. Many thanks to ChicagoMike (the nicest guy!) for doing the amazing powder coating on all of the metal parts. Kyle Kutlik (another amazing guy) gave me the...

Thanks all! The old Hoovers are some of the most fun to redo. So well made, and a great final product after all is done with them! Brandon- the bumper is a 22” rubber tie down strap from eBay. If you buy like five or more, you get them for about 1.50 each. I could not restore some of these...

After!

Long rebuild, but a fun one! These little things are powerful!

I had this one for a while And it was also two motors with a Brushroll on/off switch. This was actually kind of a neat machine. Especially once I converted it to use one of the bag chambers.

Wipe and leave that finish alone. It appears perfectly in the photo. Don’t change the bumper. Grab a nice foam brush and some acrylic black paint. Both available at Hobby Lobby in a small tube. It is in great shape, and it is plain with the correct width to the original.

I have a spare handle and bag. I would just use a black cord for your cord… bonus points for using a woven wrapped one.

We had these starting about 6-8 years ago as a really cheap offering by Sears/Kmart. They’re very cheap, but I hope you have a great experience with yours! It’s nice to have a bagged option for sure.

That’s absolutely stunning! Imagine that thing all polished out to a factory shine!

Kelton.. It did not need to be rebristled. It works great!

Kieran- Yes this will be for sale after it’s completed. Just the two things above are left. New electrical and everything throughout.

Restoring this guy. I’ve ever seen one except for a picture posted from the vacuum store in Tennessee. It’s restoring up beautifully…. Only thing left needed is a handle bolt and to apply the new bag lettering.

Final touches! Take a look at those wheels, haha!
