With the bag out, and unlike the other 2 boxtops, this one has the push on bag tube.

Side view

I'm not sure if this goes in the vintage category but I figure it's in an area with more views. I got this at an AuBon sale in South St. Louis County back in April and when I first saw it downstairs I thought "oh another 4195" but I looked at it up close and thought "holy crapballs this is...

Yes Dennis, that is a Sovereign, it works but needs a new carbon brush motor housing and I don't know if the part numbers are interchangeable with the TurboPower. Can any of the Brits help me out here please?

Scott, the hole near the belt is for the Power Drive transmission pulley as the housing is used for both PD and non-PD Concepts. As far as stats, it came from the first Concept series from 78-85/86ish and was practically the no frills budget model of the Concepts; no headlight, cordreel, or...

Love em all Hey Corey is the 4101 the metal base or plastic base? And I saw your "Sweep of Faith" film on YouTube tonight, great stuff.

Another Gold mine! I forgot to take a sedative before reading this but great job on these real good finds.

this is almost essentially like the U4115-001 (the 1978 belt package cover model) except no square handle and no headlight. Like this color combo too

There are two in MO 1. Kirksville Vacuum Center on North Baltimore right across from Hy-Vee. The owner has PILES of vacuums upstairs in his house, on the salesfloor, and in his storage unit. 2. House of Vacuums in Sedalia. John, the owner, has a storage area across the street from his shop...

here's the bag I'm looking for to restore my U4151 Decade 80

upper bag

We are in Kansas City looking around the vacuum shops. Our first stop is in Odessa, where unfortunately I come up dry. Then it's off to Independence where we visit Mr C's on 23rd. They had a nice vintage Celebrity Elite canister, but I did not get the price. A few streets up, we visit their...

Has anyone on here ever replaced the cord on a Hoover Convertible? The replacement cord I ordered finally arrived today and I can't get the white wire from the old cord out of the insulated terminal. Do i just keep yanking or do I have to order another part?

the plate

Manufactured in January 1989, this "High Performance" Hoover U4519 was owned by the late Arnold and Dolores "Dode" Braun, where they had bought it at Sears. When we all cleaned out their house last spring, this was the first thing I wanted to take. My mom has nagged me to donate it to the...

Just got this U4397 today that I won on eBay, put it together and gave it a run this afternoon. Compared to my other Hoovers, this one seems to pack a wallop on "clinging" to my area rug. I FINALLY get to go home this weekend, so I definitely wanna visit Tom Gasko and the Vac Shack, plus the...

thanks, and I haven't even been to STL, KC, Joplin, or Cape Girardeau/Bootheel area. I should get a large size map of Missouri to put on the wall and put pins of vacuum shops I've been to in the Show Me State, one color for definite return trips to, another for the duds

That looks much better than stretched out to wazoo
