Got this mixer Christmas Eve
Replaced the cord with a polarized cord and plug
Solved the problem of having to start out on speed 2 then going back to speed 1. It helps if the beaters aren't hitting each other. One of the gears that drive the beaters was off by a tooth. While I was in there...
I got another Filter Queen Carpet tool and decided since half the bristles were worn down I tore out all the bristles and just rebristled in a cinnamon color to kind of match the pinkish brown.
This was a gift from a friend.
I cleaned it up.
It came with the owners manual, 2 scrub brushes, 2 polishing brushes, 2 remains of felt buffing pads.
The owners manual doesn't list zip codes in the service centers so I know it's before 1963.
Went out and saw Bob today.
Someone gave him a Hoover and he asked if I wanted it.
He just gave it to me.
Pic 1 is the Hoover closed before cleaning
Pic 2 is the Hoover open before cleaning
Pic 3 is after I cleaned a little
I got the brushroll from (repairman) Mike
The original felt bearings were shot and it needed to be rebristled
Pic 1 is from Mike's thread how the brushroll looked when he got it
Pic 2 is of the original felt bearings
Pic 3 is the felt bearings I made for the brushroll
Pic 4 is the brushroll...
