Ryan, I really like your collection of Sebo's!! Thanks for sharing with us. I have used the Windsor Versamatic blue version in the past & thought it was a fine vac. I enjoy seeing all the versions you have collected.

Hey Jay, I like the new vac room arrangement! Really diggin the multi-level display with the vacs on the totes.

John,that would have to be the one! I have a pic of one that I found sometime ago online. It's a grungy one. I hope to run into this one to add to my collection someday.

Joe, thanks for sharing your pic! You have a nice machine as well.

Thanks John, I agree it was a steal.

John, that is a bit of fun history! I had no idea that Hoover made that many changes in one model. You are right, mine must be an '85. It has the 4-position height adjustment & bottom-fill bag. I thought it looked like it might have a type A bag when I first spied it,but it's good ol type C. I...

Found this at a rummage sale this weekend. Couldn't pass it up even though I had just acquired my Penncrest Convertible (posted in a previous thread). It was a steal at $5 & is in really good condition. Cleaned her up & put in a fresh bag & belt & she's as good as new.

Previous Penncrest Thread David, you are right, the bumper does go all the way around the body. John, can't wait to see the pics of yours! I will have to research the previous thread & check out all the details. Thanks for the input guys, much appreciated.

Gareth, I like how you think! I do need a larger place, as that is the only option I think LOL Bill, thank you & I also think it must be rare. This is the first Penncrest I have ever seen around here or in person for that matter I think.

Thanks John! :)

This is what followed me home today from a rummage sale. A model A131 Penncrest Convertible. I have too many vacs for my space. But I could not pass this up since I don't ever see the Penncrest version of the Convertible around. She was filthy, cleaned her up a bit, but she still has a long way...

I always take used bags out & discard outside & blow out loose crap in my trash dumpster. I like to take apart most of my vacs to the extent I can & clean & disinfect as well as possible inside & out. To me that's the fun especially finding a treaure that is really dirty & restoring it to almost...

Belt I know there was some discussion on another thread of this question. However so far I have not had the belt come off. I do believe if it is twistred the correct way when installed, it should stay put just fine. There is a diagram next to the belt showing which way it should twist & this...

Ian, I like the look too! Cody,I wanted one when they were new back in the day. I had the hand vac, but this was a little out of my price range at the time. The peformance is not bad. I like the lil guy! Ran it around here & it does a good job for it's size. I was surprised to find when I took...

Latest thrift store score. In great shape, cleaned up nicely. Wishing I would have bought the attachments I saw for this model at our local Goodwill a couple months back.

Well said Gareth Gareth you hit the nail on the head! I have often thought that same thing. Some of us have put up with too much s@#t over the years because of our passion for vacuums. We don't need it here. "Considering that most of us faced some form of persecution because of our fondness of...

Intensity I was just looking at a couple of those for sale on Ebay. I've always thought it's a curios design. I wondered how well it cleans. Eventually may have to try & score one of those too!

Heya Canadian Brian! Thanx for the additional info pics & video link. So, I am guessing that mine must have had a clip on the wand that has since went missing along w/ the dusting brush. Maybe someday I will run across one. I do think its quiet. I was pleasantly surprised the first time I...

Gary, thanks for the reply with all the info regarding model history & the brushroll setup. I really enjoyed learning. I did notice that some of the bristles on my brushrolls are touching. It didn't seem as though they should mash against each other anywhere along the rolls. I wonder if maybe...

Consumer Reports Brian, thanks for the info about the Cosumer Reports article on it. I am not surprised that they ranked it top stick vac. It does a decent job.It does have the crevice tool with it, its stowed on the back of the handle, not visible in the pic. I wasn't aware that there was also...
