    My Hoover Model 50......

    Frank - The Model 50 Was not designed for paper bags. It has a lever on the bottom of the machine that you push down with the open bag side down that shakes the bag out. See picture. An Air Tech bag with the plastic cut out will work though.

    Thinning The Herd Again at Tarantula Arms - Hoover Dial A Matic Model 1100

    Thanks for Clarifying That! I got this machine from Jeff Parker (who knows his Hoovers!) who identified and explained the anomoly with this first effort by Hoover at a clean air machine that actually worked with hose and tools. In my old age, I don't remember or explain too well. I'll change...

    Thinning the Herd At Tarantula Arms - Last but not least - Terry Lattz's Silver Model G

    Well, this one has some meaning to me. I found a bunch of rebuilt Model Gs and bought 4 of them. I kept one, sent one to some friends in Wisconsin, sent one to Charles Lester and gave this one to Terry Lattz. Actually I held a raffle at a party that was rigged to give this to Terry. The G...

    Thinning the Herd Again at Tarantula Arms - Kirby Heritage II/Legend II

    This is an interesting item. Bought this Heritage II brand new in Van Nuys and, of course, didn't use it much. When the Legend II came out I really wanted one so instead of buying one, I tricked the Heritage II out in brand new parts from Hesco. The only way you would know is that the foot...
