Great job on the Brilliant! It’ll never look that good again and it’s with someone who appreciates how weird and archaic that piece of technology really is. [this post was last edited: 10/7/2021-09:31]

Coming soon….

GRIPS? I wanted to pass on a little restoration tip I think (?) I came up with that I haven’t seen before. For Hoover handle grips made of rubber that are mostly in tact, you can use some 3:1 boating/RV clear shrink tube. It came out really nicely to preserve the rubber in place, and I don’t...
