Very nice! Unusual too

Just don't use the red funeral home bulbs in them! Eerie!

I have one as well, except it doesn't say "Celebrity III" on it, it just has the Hoover logo right in the center. And it's more of a copper orange on top. Not sure if it's earlier or later than this one but otherwise it's the same thing. It is noisy, in fact it seems much louder than my two...

Don't forget the Eureka Crown Princess disc shaped canister that had indents on the side for the hose to store in. I've only ever seen a video of one on YouTube. Seems quite uncommon compared to their square metal canisters and round ones like the Roto-Matic.

A few weeks ago, there was an old floor lamp for $12.99 at Goodwill. It had the mogul socket in center with white glass bowl over it, and the 3 smaller sockets on arms around it. It also had a marble looking insert on the base, which I believe was a night light, as there was a push button...

Definitely has been used, you can see the scratching in the paint on the bottom where it slides around on the floor, and the crevice tool is scratched. Nice to find with the box though.

The only one I have is a trash picked D4 SE PE like your picture and I have yet to try it yet. My grandma has a D3, but I never vacuumed with it.

I feel the same here!

On Hoovers made after 1988 the first four numbers of the serial number is the date. The first two are the month and the second two are the year. So this was made in the 09th month (September) of 96 (1996).

You did better than me I bought that same model machine at Habitat a few months ago. With the attachments for $8 I think. I couldn't pass it up, and I don't regret it, as I really like the retro mod look it has going on. It's just so cool looking. However Saturday I did pass up a red Singer...

Andy Griffith driving Matlock-famous Ford Crown Victoria.

reminds me of Hoover Nanolite I was thinking the exact same thing with those colors!

I found a similar one a few months ago. I was very happy about it, because I'd been looking for it for a while. Mine is the same color as yours, but doesn't have the nicer chrome trim or chrome hubcaps, and it has the cheapo Dirt Devil dusting brush. It also doesn't have a turbo tool cover...

filter That was probably me. LOL I bought a foam wet dry vac sleeve filter at Walmart, whichever brand they sell (other brands probably work too). And found I could get exactly 3 filters by cutting across it into 3 equal rings. It does fit a little loosely. So what I did, was get the white...

I have a Lime Green Kenmore canister that is new in the box. I only took it out to listen to the motor, but other than that it's never been put together or used.

Good to hear from you! Nice find! In general, Hoover Celebrities all pre-date the time that Hoover started encoding the date into the serial numbers, which was 1987 so can't be dated that way. You may find a date stamped on the power nozzle motor. I did a quick search for that model and I...

It's satisfying to have a cleaned, de-scuffed and polished machine with new bag and filters installed. It's like making it brand new again, almost.

Well doing some more research with the part number, found out these older Craftsman take different filters than what are found at Lowes or other places. Once I was able to find the measurements of the OEM filter, I was unable to find any other ones from other brands that might fit. They were all...

Does anyone know if other brands of pleated type filters will fit a Craftsman 12 gallon shop vac. I see the specific "black stripe" filters on Amazon. But locally I see similar looking filters sold at Lowes by Shop-Vac and Harbor Freight that look similar. Some of the reviews I was reading said...
