Yes, it is a hybrid of sorts. The bag isn't too far out of line seeing as though a "conventional cloth bag" was an option Hoover offered from day one. As I'm sure you know, the Handisac was not a disposable bag, but one that could be emptied and reused many times. It is a shame that the handle was changed. I'm certain that was done to replace the handle grip that was prone to cracking, and the special square strain relief on the original cord. In the Hoover service guide it mentions the discontinuation of this part. I'm surprised you even took notice. You dismissed it as nothing more than a 61 before. While it is a hybrid, it's an extremely interesting hybrid.
