I am not sure if I am going to buy them, but I appreciate the pictures!

Ask hygiene903! He has some Convertibles that I am interested in, and I have been trying to get pictures of them, but he hasn't replied since he offered the machines on Vacuumland. If he has more than one machine with a wrap-around headlight, ask him to save one for you. I would not mind that...

Thank you! I am looking forward to the pictures!

@moparhemipower: It sounds like you have some good Eurekas! Please post some pictures of them.

Also, if you have any Eureka or Kirby Uprights, I would like to see pictures of them too, in addition to the Hoovers.

@bagintheback: Did you use a Hoover Z bag upright, like a Futura, Dimension Supreme, Runabout, Legacy, or other Z bag upright?

I also like . . . "The Hoover Cleaner makes rugs last longer!"

My favorite carpet lines are the ones produced by the Hoover Convertible! I also notice that the newer Koblenz Endurance Vacuum Cleaners produce almost the same Hoover lines, even though they are made like Eureka Uprights.

It looks like the Decade 80 that vacman117 has, except it said Deluxe Convertible, although it is technically a Decade 80.

I think the Miele Canisters are the best available. They have a wide variety of power nozzles and are very quiet, about as quiet as a 1960s Hoover Convertible (which is saying a lot)!

@hygiene903: Before I email you, I must mention that I am not a paid member of the VCCC, therefore, I am not allowed to purchase them directly through the VCCC. Which models do you have, and could you post some pictures of them please? Thank you!

Could you please instruct me on how to reseat the brushes, and will this correct the smell?

It's a cleaner on my want list, but too expensive for me. It's up for grabs! http://www.ebay.com/itm/HOOVER-VINTAGE-GUARDSMAN-UPRIGHT-VACUUM-/120856944707?pt=US_Vacuum&hash=item1c23a2a043

Here is the next picture.

Here are a couple of pictures. Do you notice the black marks on the armature?

I must apologize for continuous complaints, but I must say that I have spent quite a while wiping the armature off with a dry cloth towel and I still cannot get the "ash" off the armature. Is the only option at this point to sand it or is there something else that I should do?

I just took another look at the motor, and, while there was no oil there, there was some smoky, sooty, ash-like substance on the armature and the end of the brushes. Does this change anyone's opinion, and how exactly should I clean it?

No one has a metal-based Convertible available?

Could you please post some close up pictures of the motor? That would help very much!

@twocvbloke: So, you think that I can fix the smell by simply sanding the armature, or is there some other cleaning product that I should use?
