    Youtube vacuum smashers, lets do something about them!

    The more flagging this guy gets, the more comments he gets only fuels his need to destroy more things. I feel he needs to be ignored, no comments, no flags, just pretend he doesn't exist.

    NORCA

    Norca was (other members correct me if I'm wrong) a line of Hoover cleaners sold in department stores and vacuum shops, sort of direct sales instead of door to door. They are essentially identical to existing Hoover models with slight differences. Mainly, the brushroll's had different style...

    825 Hoover Wiring Question

    Ok folks, gotta wiring question! I recently replaced the handle wiring in my 825 (two speed) because it was totally dry-rotted. Now, for the life of me, it will only run on the low speed and I cannot figure the darn thing out! Can anyone snap me a photo or a wiring diagram of their 825 as a...
