It does have a hose, but still does not justify that price tag. lol

Gorgeous but very overpriced. Its been listed for awhile maybe they would go down? If it were the first model from the 30s it may be worth that. Those are shaped more like a Siemens-Schuckert Protos.

I am not sure if everything on this is original to an S250A(metal handle, dump bag, etc). I have been told this was pieced together. Finished it last night!

MiVintageVacs - You have made yours immaculate. I hope to get mine that nice someday. Bravo!!!

Looking at the age of the previous wiring and the immaculate condition of the motor internals(I did not clean for the pic!) I think this was restored decades ago and sat in the sun. The bag strap came off the second I turned it on so for a quick fix I put wire thru the bag seam and put a...

I acquired this in trade yesterday, time to get cracking! The motor looks good through the vents and everything except the strain relief and rear oiler cap are intact. Any ideas when this variant came out? The last patent date is 1921. The handle tube is black painted metal also, not wood. Only...

Lol you're fine, it does look like it should have one. Between the exhaust blowing dirt around and the poor suction I see why they ditched the clean air design for 45 years until Hoover tried again!

That is the exhaust port, the bag is inside! Kind of a bad exhaust placement, blows the dirt away on that side.. lol

Just needs a cord and a good set of front wheels now. I've located them on eBay, now to actually buy them and finish up this project. lol

Thats odd. Sounds like maybe a switch issue. No a convertible motor isn't even close you would need a parts machine for sure. Would be beneficial to check the carbon brushes and commutator just in case

Going by the pics it would be trace amounts if anything. Nothing dangerous really unless you lick the likely lead painted handle lol

Thank you so much. Mostly completed another today, this Hoover Lark 12. Still needs a good badge and a piece of trim for under the handle bail. The tag underneath said last serviced, October 1968

He has most of them listed in his profile.

Plastic belt lifter with viewing window, and later models had the cord hooks on the other side. Very early ones had a flawed thin handle grip that was often replaced. And of course the red trim and new bag top :)

Thank you so much!! It has certainly been tiring, and has ate through at least one buffing wheel! Husky - The Fedelco is basically just a Bee Vac with a stationary back wheel and 2 big front ones. It probably performs the same as your Bee. Vacmadman - GE model AV11. Sorry for the sideways...

More pics to come!

Kent Baby Twin Vacuna

Thanks to parts from this haul I was able to get my GE made JL Hudson back from the dead.
