    Hoover model 305 Restoration

    Late-ish run Hoover Model 305 Restoration. I love this cleaner. The colors are so well done, and masculine. I love when the early run of Hoover used the color red; it was seldomly done. Fun rebuild! The machine was a bit rough when it first came to me. The collector I purchased it from bought...

    Kirby model 560 Restoration

    This has easily been my favorite Kirby restoration in a bit! I had the fortune of coming into NOS Red trim, NOS Grey wheels, and a brand new 10 blade metal fan. She purrs like new! :)

    30s Kenmore Restoration

    I was not originally going to restore this machine, but ended up with some free time to do so this past week. Lots of rust on this one! Nearly every screw head needed to be sanded and shined. Enjoy :)

    The Regina Crusader? Rare?

    I have never in my life seen an early Regina upright with a revolving brush… and if I remember correctly from past conventions this model was only ever speculated to exist.

    Suffering from dry/cracked….

    GRIPS? I wanted to pass on a little restoration tip I think (?) I came up with that I haven’t seen before. For Hoover handle grips made of rubber that are mostly in tact, you can use some 3:1 boating/RV clear shrink tube. It came out really nicely to preserve the rubber in place, and I don’t...
