Does your brushroll fit tightly into the nozzle itself? On my very well used model 69 I had to shim one side of the brushroll with a piece of tape. Mine had a small amount of play and would rattle around in the nozzle. The casting was worn from years of use and the brushroll being removed for...

Good quality vacs! They have an early design of the dual cyclone, with no cyclone shroud. It was a copy of James Dysons dual cyclone setup. I don't think it worked quite as efficiently as his though. I like the look of the Cleartrack. Very 80s looking. Is she going to get another? You can still...

Well my hoover 425 has bearings made of Swiss cheese. I think they may be bojack though.

The suction power on this one is pretty poor. I have never found car vacuums that plug into the lighter socket to be very effective cleaners.

I stopped by a local thrift store to have a look at what vacuums they had. In the hand vacuum section I found an interesting box, inside I found a J.C Penney car vacuum. I have never seen one quite like this before. Its missing the attachments, but I am always on the hunt for Penncrest or J.C...

Seems like too much money for that to me. I could see one selling for good money if it had all its original parts. This one is in pretty sad condition. Plus it does look like a factory rebuild.

It has a replacement plug, but the cord itself appears original to me.

Thanks! Its nice to find one of these that does not have a bunch of replacement parts.

I found this Hoover model 425 at an antique store near my house. It was $28.00. The bag and cord appear original to me. Am I right? The poor bumper appears to have crumbled off at some point, I will have to fix that later. It does run well Though! now I just need to find my polish!

Steps to clean the filter. 1. Remove from dirt cup. 2. Brush dust until it is airborne. 3. Breathe in deep three times. 4. Spend the rest of the day blowing your nose/itching your eyes.

You should also add the Dyson cyclone assembly to it. It would almost pass as one of the new Dyson Eye robotic vacs! :)

Nice Penncrest! You should put it on Ebay so I can bid on it! :)

I would try a genuine Hoover belt they seem to last much longer. My model 69 would go through generic belts in a matter of days, but I have been using the same genuine Hoover belt for almost a year.

Amazing find! One of the best convertibles!

Do you think it would handle polish sausage?

How many hot dogs do you think would fit in the bag? Do you think it would also work for Churros?

That's too bad the quality has gone down like that. If you wanted you could still buy new old stock bags from Ebay. Such as this listing that I just found. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-of-31-Hoover-Type-D-Vacuum-Bags-for-Dial-A-Matic-Uprights-/291173786594?pt=US_Vacuum&hash=item43cb4f63e2

How much for one of the pre convertible hoover uprights? Thanks!

What is an 8-track? Jk. haha

It beats, as it sweeps, as it.....
