Anyone questioning value??? <span style="font-size: 12pt;">What an INCREDIBLE Convention!!  This was clearly among the most memorable of all the Conventions I have attended, probably second only to Hoover/2008.  From my arrival at the Hotel where Michael and I joined others for a...

Stunning Hoover 29 Resto <span style="font-size: 12pt;">I agree as well, it is a stunning restoration!  Kuddos!</span>   This is not the first 29 I've seen with that gray/red Handi-sak bag, but it is likely they were dealer-supplied upgrades and/or replacements.     <span...

Help Blog <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Robert, it's nice to have you here and thank you for sharing your input/website.  </span>   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Aside from that, consider the source.  Nuff said.</span>   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">RB</span>

Troubleshoot! Hello Thomas.  This is fairly easy to trouble-shoot, or at least eliminate some of the possible issues.       Remove the handle at the yoke (one single screw/bolt.  Use large screwdriver)  The handle literally unplugs and (again, literally) has a 'traditional' electrical...

Blue Gloves! <span style="font-size: 12pt;">It is often said/quoted that 'Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery'.  Kuddos to you, John!</span>   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Your 'signature' continues to be acknowledged.</span>   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">R </span> <span...

And yet, ANOTHER Vacuum Museum!! <span style="font-size: 12pt;">(This one being digital!)  And awesome.  And selfless.  Thank you so much for doing this.  Now people who are not within striking distance of one of  the various physical vacuum cleaner museums around the country (world) can view...

Brush Strips Hey Alex.  Please contact me directly and I will put you in touch to acquire accessories such as the brush strips you require.   RB

YOUR 700 <span style="font-size: 14pt;">Very nice 700.! Seems you can't beat them, they last forever!  (I just viewed a Dyson ad where the founder bragged they would/could last 10 years!)  Most of Hoover's brush strips last/lasted longer than that!  I love my array of 'Coffee Can' Hoovers; love...

Belching dust <span style="font-size: 14pt;">It seems to me, if said author is experiencing a Convertible belching dust, it might be wise to find a capable individual to easily remediate the problem by sealing whichever end of the bellows is responsible for the problem.  It would not be the...

Filter <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Very nice recreation of that filter.  My local dealer does not seem to stock them for my '37 model 30 anymore, either!!!</span>   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">RB</span>

Preservation <span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">I do have to agree that preservation is the primary objective and common thread among pretty much all of us, and I have to commend any and all of the individuals and museums that are doing that in their own way.  The history and lineage of...

Oops! Correction in order... <span style="font-size: 14pt;">My apologies, Harley,  you nailed it, bringing into focus several salient points including parallels that had not occurred to me.    Rick A, thanks for catching this!</span>   <span style="font-size: 14pt;">Another avid and...

Museum VS Gallery <span style="font-size: 14pt;">Phillip, nobody could have addressed this any better or more accurately, zeroing in the reality of differing approaches as well as identifying thinly veiled insinuations!  Thanks for sharing this additional point of view.</span> <span...

Various Museums <span style="font-size: 14pt;">Or not...   Multiple Museums, multiple/various approaches.  One could make the argument that machines should be displayed by chronology; others by brand or even type (Upright, canister, TANK.)   Maybe even by color, Fred! lol </span> <span...

105 Rebuild Yes, definitely a rebuild, but ANY early Hoover is a piece of history and well-worth adding to one's collection! While yes, the bag and switch, paint and ID plate (and cord!) are clearly replacements, my money, based on early Hoover Company literature, supports that being the...

Seeing Old Friends... Oops!! I suppose that should read "Seeing Long-time friends!" Phillip and John, many thanks for the kind words. I am really looking forwward to the Convention and catching up with many people. I just might be the first in line at the Registration table Thursday...

Vacuum Convention WOW! There is more 'advertising' here than on NBC. I will be arriving Wednesday as well. People to see, things to do, places to go, since St Louis is also my Alma Mater! I will be back in time for the beginning of the Convention, however. RB
