I know dozens of folks who need those brush inserts. These days the replacements are made of Unobtanium

We took a family trip to that region of Ohio many moons ago. Of course I went to the museum. Still have my "Hoover 100th" shirt that Tom have me when I toured the museum. I have pictures somewhere...

You have an amazing knack for getting all these beauties! Would you like to do some personal shopping for my collection? Hahaha Nice find

https://www.metv.com/lists/10-times-miss-jane-hathaway-let-loose-and-ditched-her-pressed-suit-on-the-beverly-hillbillies Have a gander at that one...

You don't want to see what wacky costume Miss Hathaway has in store this time?

Never knew they made a battery nozzle... "Dear Santa..."

Wiring was mixed up so now the power nozzle leads are connected to power, without running through the switch

Very good machines. I always found them a bit too cumbersome for daily use, but I enjoy mine nonetheless.

Folding stand is a belt guard, to keep the belt from burning your carpet. The agitator might just need a little coaxing to come out.

Just enough to clean any visible rust. You can repaint that part after if you dont want it as bare metal.

There are no motor mounting screws nor a brushroll. The issue I had with mine was that the bottom "floater pad" was rusty and not perfectly smooth. This allowed air to seep out and it had a hard time floating. Sand it smooth on the very bottom, and ensure the motor is getting ample airflow.

I wish you the best of luck...that Plain Jane model is close to extinct.

I have found that UPS is a bit of a rip off. As much as everybody is expensive, Federal Express is the best option, in my opinion. They cost close to the same as the USPS, but are far more careful with packages.

Go see Chris at C.S. Vacuum in Oneida. He does fantastic work on cleaners and has close to 5000 in his trade ins. I'm sure he has a few decent model 28s...it is his favorite machine...

Call there and ask for Don. Hes done lots of rebristling for me.

Brown would be a rebuilt model during the run of the Olympia 1. Brown or chrome PN4 with a cream sheath set and an electric woven hose, cream with brown chasers. Beige cord.

I stand corrected. Thanks, Ray. I always thought 1001 was the consistent starting serial number with hoover, but it must have started later on.

The Hoover 150 is my all time favorite! I spent an absolute fortune getting one that was in beautiful shape and had been mechanically restored. Well worth every cent!

Originally they were there to quiet the machine. None of the Ametican metal body machines had an after filter after the E, except for the Hospital G

All it would have done was caught carbon dust from the motor, filtration wise anyways. It probably would have made it slightly quieter.
