WOWEE!!! What a fantastic picture! Is that the 638 in the background?

Derek! Trust me, I have seen far worse restored to like new condition! Congrats on a great find! I am sure you can make something out of it!

I used brasso on one of my 150 hoods. It came out quite shiny. It doesn't remove scratches. But that can ruin the bakelite sometimes. Ill leave them there. They are not too noticeable from a distance. I have yet to clean the other hood with brasso yet. Its in much better shape. Should be...

Whew! I bout had a heart attack! Be careful of your choice of words around here! We don't want anyone to lose their head! Hehe!

I agree. For $50, the bag is worth it alone. The machine itself... well I have seen worse restored. It will take lots of agonizing buffing and cleaning, but I think it could be quite rewarding. Why not.... in the end if the machine isn't salvageable, the bag is worth, like Bill stated, several...

Oh my! Beautiful Connie! That color over here was called Garland green (the lower half) (my favorite shade of hoover green!) The pale green... Not sure on that one.

Oh they must have misprinted my address. Ill send you a PM with it and you can ship it back to me.... Hehe.... Anywho... congrats on an amazing gift! The Golden early birds sure are unique!

Well there you go! But I do ask, does anyone know if the brush roll from a DC18 is the same design geared belt and motor as what the DC18 has?

I am not sure if the DC18 uses the same power nozzle as the DC17, but when I had mine, I noticed that rocks seemed to get around the geared belt and would cause a funny sound. I almost wonder if something maybe got around the belt, and into the motor itself and has gotten itself lodged and is...

I love the hoover, But the Allen is awesome too! :)

The 61 I have has a glass lens as well.... Interesting.

I know people who will stick a whole machine disassembled, cord and all into a dishwasher! Greg Nunn and Fred Stachnik restored a hoover 68 convertible using a dishwasher to wash most of its parts. It can come out fabulous!

WOWEE! I love it! One of the finest hoovers in my opinion! You have a great example!

That is too bad! One day I came home from school and found all 30 of my vacuums piled high in the center of my bedroom. My dad took each one and stacked them up on top of each other. My Hoover 28 suffered another hood crack and a few nicks. Most of the assembled uprights were left out, but most...

In reply 20, the Hoover elite two, with the side mounted attachments. My grandma had one and gave it to us when I was little because my moms Singer broke. I have yet to find one exactly like the one she had. I absolutely loved that vacuum. I still do. I have seen many other elites, but I...

OH MY!!!! That hoover Box top is FABULOUS! Amazing finds!

Here is what the power nozzle, original hose, and box would look like for this cleaner.

WOW!!! As you know (by my screen picture) I am kind of a compact nut! I grew up around them. My grandpa has a gold C9 just like yours. I really envy that blue one you have on the far left. Do you have another picture of that one? Sorry to hijack your thread, but I have never seen that one...

Those are real stunning examples! The D4SE is my favorite design for Rainbow.

Welcome fellow Nebraskan!!! What part of nebraska are you from? I'm in Omaha. :) Nice vacuums! Love the airway! Do you play the piano? I am going to school for piano performance next year.
