I found this toy Hoover at an antique sale today. It is missing the bag but this is the first one of these that I have ever seen. Does anyone have any information about this or pictures showing the original bag? Thanks!

I found this Kirby Heritage at a thrift store last friday. It had a sign on it that said "needs work". It turned out to just be a broken fan blade. The vacuum was only $10.00. I put a new fan in and it runs great now. This one is cool because it has the small nozzle.

Nice job! Both of those look great!

I went to a thrift store yesterday and found this Hoover convertible model 69. It was very dirty and has alot of replacement parts but it was only $5.00! I cleaned it up and greased the lower bearing last night. It runs great!

Does anyone know if there is anything I could do to protect the hood from further warping?

Thanks! I always keep my eyes open for convertibles like this. I sure lucked out this time!
