    My First Hoover

    Bobby, All of my Concepts are Power Drives, 3 have cordwinders. I would like to find one or two non-powerdrive models, since everyone I knew as a child who had(actually most still have)Concepts were non-powerdrive models I've emailed my number. It would be great to chat again.
