    CONVENTION 2013 MILWAUKEE

    Had the pleasure to spend all day today with Fred and Robert, at Greg Nunn's house. You can bet your shiny penny they are going to the convention! Hope they will take the fabulous Mini, too! Got to drive this beauty today, and it was a blast!

    CONVENTION 2013 MILWAUKEE

    Few things for sale

    Hey guys, Kyle asks of you to email offers. Posting a reply asking about price probably will not get a response. Just an FYI.

    "A thing of beauty is a joy forever"

    Reminds me of my D80 I used to have! I regret selling it. Ended up with a whole complete unused tool set after I sold it too. Would have matched my machine which was in similar shape to the one above! I had about a little more than half of that into mine. Beauty costs a lot, thats for sure.

    The largest dustbag ?

    I think the Hoover model 0 could take the cake for that. It had a pretty large cylinder shaped bag. Also the Hoover Conquest has a massive bag too.

    does hoover still make the constalatoin?

    I dont think it actually came with a power nozzle, it just had an on/off switch in the handle. The new constellations are a very powerful machine. It really is a shame they didn't last. But in todays society, most people don't a large machine that floats all around. They do generate good lift...

    Guess what i got!!

    I had the opportunity to use a Spangler suction sweeper, the predecessor to this machine. Same machine just black, red and gold. It ran almost inaudibly. The belt on that machine was original and petrified so the brushroll didn't turn. If you have ever used one of the early 1900s or late...

    Guess what i got!!

    Matthew, The Hoover model O operates just the same as any later hoover fan first type machine. Its an emerson fan turned on its side and the blades are pitched more to create suction, and a belt drives the brush roll. The machine, since using an electric fan, operates almost inaudibly. They...

    Dont see this every day at the Goodwill

    I have wanted another 2 speed rainbow for some time. If I can find the attachments for cheap I will keep it. Otherwise I will just rebuild it and sell the shell.
