A piece of the 1970's and i meet up :)

Hello all, i wanted to inform the club of the latest arrival to my vacuum orphanage,
an ADVANTAGE vacuum cleaner! it's actually just a older hoover convertible (it actually says "Hoover" on the maker's tag XD), and she is, well, rough to say the least. She was EXTREMELY loud, and i suspect the brush roll as it was all rusty, what do you think?

Anyways, i would like some advice on how to clean her up, as clean as possible if possible, LOL.
But she appears to be a "Commercial" version of the convertible, with the more square-ish hood and carpet selection dial on the hood, pics to come soon!

the hoover advantage line was introduced in march of 1984 consisting of the new power surge series convertible .....model u4361....5 amp convertible with a ranger style hood and a powder blue spirit fully loaded powernozzle canister with a quadroflex lighted head....not the 1970s but the middle of the 1980s

sorry about that gaurdsman68

Being the biggest N00B on this site, i'm not surprised that even though the hood looks 70's, it's from the 80's.

Anyways, Picture time!

(i know the picture sucks )

One more since it's 12:28 in the morning!

The final, complete&restored vacuum!

I know it still looks like crap, but as stated above, the most in-experianced novice on this site is the one who did the restoratoin.

Anyways, i'm gonna test run it tomorrow, this house needs a good clean-up
