I'm giving the vacuum, stand, and hose away- FREE. Pick it up just North of San Francisco or you can pay for the shipping. I just don't have any more space...

Or is it an LXI? I may put this machine up for sale. Any offers before I go to eBay? Thanks

I found this today at a Goodwill for $9.99. the machine works great and, even though I have an LX in nicer condition, I had to get it just because of the stand! http://https//www.flickr.com/gp/40439385@N07/52CvCt

I found this Hoover buried in a garage at an estate sale. I paid $8 for it and it seems to be in pretty good original condition. The bag was full of some kind of hair and there is a small hole in the bag. The motor stared, but seemed pretty noisy. Here's a picture of it after I wiped it down to...
