They're only wanting $20 for this one. Says it works well.

I found a u4387 at Goodwill two years ago. It was $8 and I passed it up. I got to thinking about it and went back to get it...and it was gone. I still kick myself hard for that decision! Beautiful machine!

Found this on the local Craigslist...what model is this and what can you tell me about it?

Good looking machine! I love the 1060 hood style!!!

Welcome!!! Nice machines!

I had one a couple of years ago...bought it at a thrift store for $10. Unfortunately I sold it and regret it. They're great machines!!!

WOW!!!!! You brought that one back to life! Beautiful job!!!!!

Awesome!!! Nice Convertibles, Nicholas!!! Love them!!!

Thanks!!! And yes it is!

Since around 1997 or so, I have been on the search for a specific Hoover Convertible. The model U4335. I have searched high and low...flea markets, eBay, this forum...everywhere literally. I have always came up at a dead end. I joined this forum in 2013 and stumbled upon an old post from 2008...

Nice Classic Omega!!! I have one of those too. I love the 500 series units. I do have a 517 that runs pretty well. What all do you have?

Whew! $74!!! I could see $25-$30 at most and that's if it's in great shape both physically and mechanically.

How easy is it to replace the top bearing on this machine? It's a 1976 Eureka Wild Moss Continental. It's sounding a little dry.

Everyone always loves on the old metal base Comvertibles, which is fine...I have a couple and love them! But let's see some pics of your plastic base Convertibles! I think they're just as great and am really considering adding some to my collection when funds allow...especially a U4335 or U4127!

What does it mean if the carbon brushes emit a clicking noise/whine when running? Does every vacuum use a different carbon brush or are they all interchangeable?

I agree Dan!!! Between Luke and the GREAT Mr. John Gregory, many classic Hoovers will be around for many years to come!!!

Oh how I love shake out bags! I have one on almost all my old Kirbys lol...some I even ditched a disposable bag system in favor of. Just can't beat the suction and look of an inflated shake out bag. And I've been thinking of picking up a Royal. I have never owned one. Would love to see what...

Wow! Quite the collection you have there! Beautiful machines!!!

Thanks! I wasn't sure. I saw two almost constant flashes inside the motor and was afraid something was going wrong with it.

What causes this? Is it normal? I'm seeing some flashing sparks coming from both carbon brushes on my convertible.
