    Hoover Senior 652A

    you said it right ! This really IS a SEXY BEAST ! This machine does not seem to have been used too much, but simply "badly used". This Pine-green version is my very favourite senior of the 652 series ! I have one in very good condition. Emma, I suppose you will find a new fan very very...

    Hoover 800 headlight question

    well...... No but I would not try that ! The original lamp should be 15w ( even if I only find the 10 watts today ). Higher wattage will probably overheat the plastic trim around the dirtfinder causing deformation and might cause other damage. I know that a short-time use won't probably cause...

    HELP MY HOOVER DELUXE MOTOR WRITTEN OFF

    Keep It ! You absolutely should keep the machine, Mark ! Consider that this is the most wanted english senior and pretty rare today. The motors from later senior should absolutely fit, the only difference being that the cables for the switch will have to be re-fit, but it's something really...

    funny video on you tube about us vacuum lover's

    nice video I found the video funny and enjoied it very much. Yes, it jokes with stereotypes ( the stupid questions of the interviewer are absolutely perfect ! ). Like many stereotypes, it also contains some bitter truths that - as I can see on this page - are not much appreciated by everyone (...

    Another Dillusional Ebay Seller

    well...... Everybody's laughing but it really DID sell for 199,00 !!! Not bad at all ! Anyway I think judging the value "20 bucks" is offensive for any other vacuum collector, even if this is only my personal opinion. You can sometime get a super good deal for 20 bucks but that's for sure not...

    part for my Hoover 700

    sorry not to be able to help you... Listen Gary, I would suggest you to find a replacement spring ( also not easy, REALLY ) as it's difficult to find an original ...I had a similar problem with mine, as while removing an awful white cord from my 700, the spring disintegrated into many pieces (...

    1930's WESTINGHOUSE VACUUM : the cutest hand-held vacuum EVER !!!!

    Hi folks, here's what came in today ! It's a great hand-held vacuum produced in USA I suppose in the late 1930's - early 1940's ( anyone has a precise date ? ). I have noticed it has been produced in different color-schemes but the main body is dark bakelite. It has a revolving brush (!) and...

    For Guido and others who need a inexpensive buffing machine

    THANKS GARRETH ! That's a great idea that I could easily try even now, using some of my electric drills...so that - at least I can start carefully trying and see what I really need for future polishings ! Thanks for the suggestion !
