Vacuum Museums <span style="font-size: 14pt;">What is especially great in all of the various vacuum museums that exist around the U.S. and no-doubt beyond, is that these vacuums are being saved and preserved for us AND future generations!  What is especially unique about the Hoover Museum in...

2015 Convention Hey, Aiden,        The Convention is in June and I believe early June this year.  It will be at a nice hotel and rather near the airport, so you would not require any additional transportation  Most everyone REALLY enjoys the Conventions; my first was 2005.  They have all...

Cord/Plug/Variations Hi again, Rob,         Many thanks for your response; I learned something new.   The Belden cord-sets used by Hoover I have known had the ribbed cord and familiar Belden plug.  Hoover certainly was efficient in using (up) existing components and procuring outside...

Cord/Plug Hey Rob!       Do you recall which plug(s) those cleaners had on them?  I am assuming the smooth cord was the GE cord-set with the  almost iconic, smooth, bell-shaped plug.  Did the earlier, ribbed cord have the large Hoover plug or the round, Belden plug?  (Inquiring minds want...

Bags and Hoods Actually, there were two designs of bags sold on the 28 (not to mention the Hygienisac option) as well as both bakelite and aluminum hoods; the aluminum hoods were painted brown wrinkle-finish.  (Refer to varying ads.)  Three different cords equipped on the 28 support the notion...

DId it really happen? <span style="font-size: 14pt;">If a bear.... OK, if a tree falls in the woods, and it is not documented instantaneously on the WWW, did it really fall, though evidence supports it?</span>   <span style="font-size: 14pt;">I'm just sayin'.....</span> <span...

Super-well packed..... <span style="font-size: medium;">RW, that is beyond awesome, both that you have acquired this particular model (understanding its connection to your pre-adolescent days) AND that it had been appreciated and packed so well.</span> <span style="font-size: medium;">By...

Plug and Cord Set <span style="font-size: medium;">The plug (and cord set) pictured above on this gorgeous, early Filtex positively is a GE/General Electric set.  It will have GE pressed/inscribed into at least one of the prongs.  It is a truly beautiful thing!!</span> <span style="font-size...

trash on TV Hello Doug, How true!! I mean, when was the last time anyone saw a REAL cleaner on a TV show? LOL Yes, TV has mostly devolved. My best, Rick

Compliments of Mr Winkler! Can't say much about her vacuuming skills, however. Quoting, "To tell the truth, I could have done better." Enjoy! RB[this post was last edited: 8/31/2012-00:22]

"if at all possible" <span style="font-size: medium;">I'm with Derek.  Although it needs to be safe, some minor fraying (no copper exposed) is no big deal to me though I of course prefer a wonderful, intact, original cawd (lol). If it can be salvaged, and especially if it maintains its original...

ARSON??? I cannot believe it, Doug, and I am SO SORRY. Please call me when you can, Doug. E-mail me directly for my number. Rick

And it includes FREE SHIPPING. Run, don't walk!! Far be it for me to judge, but this strikes me as a TAD expensive. RB http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Genuine-Antique-Rare-Electrolux-Vacuum-Upholstery-Tool-Dust-Brush-Combo-/300651262654?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item46003632be

As a point of reference... My XXX pulls between 54 and 55 inches of 'vacuum' (water lift) My previous daily driver which also ran really well but only pulled 50 inches though they both had the same (later, larger) motor. Based on years of having and testing them, this appears to be about as...

28 cord Nice!! That is a major upgrade for sure. It looks great and appears to be Genuine (Gen-yine!) Hoover! Nice machine, too; one of my favorites as well. Rick B
