I forgot to ask if anyone has or has even seen a shop vac style Hoover like on the far left?

This is a great idea. How long will it run on a charge? Nicholas

I noticed there was no power-drive Dial-A-Matic. And why only one Constellation? Wouldn't the 858 be from the same time? It would be neat to go back and see the Hoover factory back in the heyday! Nicholas

You could use the bag from the Heritage on the Sanitronic 80 To keep the disposable convenience and filtration with the smaller head of the older vacuum. I have done this myself with good results. Nicholas

I'm not sure how rare it is but I've only seen two other green top 858 Constellations posted. I have heard the last ones were red on top and I have never seen even a photo of one of them. The orange top ones are pretty common I have two of them. Worth is in the eye of the purchaser but I...

Hey it is a rare green 858 I would love to have one of those. I'd be afraid of overheating something with only 9 volts.

Sent you another email. Just received my second order safe and sound. Thanks again Nicholas

Congratulations on your find! This filter should fit over the motor. Not sure where you might find better filtering bags. Nicholas...

Wow what a find! That is my favorite of the 60 series Hoovers. I'm sure it will be a treasured part of your collection. Nicholas

I just wanted everyone to know that the four vacuums I bought arrived safe and sound. I would do business again with chicagomike. Nicholas

Email sent. I was interested in the Wizards and maybe some of the other Eureka Princess style machines. Nicholas

Happy Days also used the 91-918 from Laverne & Shirley. There was also an episode that had Howard working on a Convertible from the early 70's.

Nice finds! I like the cute little Eureka. I had to swap the motor in mine because the bearings were bad. I wonder if this was a common problem. Nicholas

Thanks for doing this! One of my favorite things about vacuums is reading the manuals. Are you interested in digital submissions? I have saved a few over the years. Nicholas

You might be able to get a piece of foam and make a doughnut style gasket like the older models had. Nicholas

I had to replace the switch in a Concept one for my Mother-in-law a few years ago. The terminals were broken off so I got a generic slider switch at Ace hardware and soldered it in. It looked the same from the outside and worked great. I should have thought to take pictures... Good finds, I'm...

I'm glad to see the Hoover is in good hands. That black hose is a nice find. I wonder why the gray one is shorter? Nicholas

I found some bags on ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/221923359107

Could you post a picture so we know what you need?

Maybe you could find a match at a hardware store. I'm sure Hoover quit making those parts years ago. Otherwise you might have to get a parts donor machine.
