<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">Hey Shane, </span>   <span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">Congrats on finding 2 Hoover Larks. I had one several years ago, and I had to replace the switch plate and ball also. A local vacuum shop that had been a...

<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">Wooowwwwww, Hans! Just gorgeous!</span>

<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">Brian - That color in the ad for the Model 28 is sort of misleading. It is really a tan - known as British Tan. But, yeah, I can see the gray influence in it, too. BTW, the darker hood color was known as British Brown, at least by the paint...

<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">Hey Will -</span>   <span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">Here's an old chart from AVAC from the 70's. It looks like B, according to this chart, is not the right one. The S or M would be the correct one. Actually, more...

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Here's one with a taupe color in the bag (as well as other colors). This is one of John Long's lovelies.....Convertible Model 1076</span>

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Nice Connie, Jeff. One day you'll find a hose.</span>

Wow, great job! It's perfect.

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, ONE DAY it might be pretty. But, it just makes me want to take a shower. I do NOT want to be the one to restore that. It's going to be a full-time job!</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Gorgeous, Will. It looks fantastic!</span>

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Nicholas - I'm with you. Though it was great to see vacuums used as art, I'm just not a fan of his work. I saw his show at the De Young in San Francisco in the early 90's. Also on display was his huge sculpture of...

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva; font-size: 12pt;">Wow, that's a scary article. I have often wondered about the additives in bottled water. I have also heard (though I have never verified) that some bottlers put DIOXIN in the water. WHY??!! </span>   <span...

<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">OK....back to the salad.......Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm</span>

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">"Hammond Egger" - I love it! Yep, sure looks like a Premier that's been squared off around the edges of the base.</span>   <span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Nyuh...

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I have this unusual orange Convertible that is a color departure for Hoover, though I know they made others in orange.  I love it. That Singer is sure pretty, too.</span>  

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Mark, Thanks for the cleaning info about the height adjuster. I'll try that.</span>   <span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Joseph, I hope the tips have helped, and...

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Hey, Mark,</span>   <span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">How do you clean a height adjuster? A toothbrush, or something like that?</span>   <span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica...
