I can tell you that your machine would date from at least the fall of 1993 as that was when Hoover began the use of the "cleaning effectiveness per amp" thing. All the brochures I found (all from eBay auctions) are those models from circa 1990.
If you could please give me the model # and serial # from yours, I would appreciate it, and from there I can give you the motor switch part # from http://www.hescoinc.com/. Example serial #: 049400692797 (0494=April 1994)
I suppose you only have the cleaner unit but not the power nozzle which would have been the version used for models S3545/3555/3565.
I love my Hoover PowerMax canisters. I also love the Hoover Windtunnel S3639. Here are some pics of the Hoover Dimension 1000 canister that I got. Here is the Power head housing all cleaned up!!
Hose has lots of damage under tape. Front of handle where attachment lock is, is chipped and lock doesn't work well. Connector to suction unit isn't good. Has melted plastic and separation between parts. If anyone knows of anyone with a new or used hose I'm very interested!!!
Here is the complete Futura. Please excuse my interior decorating skills. In this area I am lacking, only in my house would a Christmas tree and fern coexist, side by side.[this post was last edited: 1/4/2013-10:56]
A Pixie, Portable, Constellation and two Port a Powers. I try to have at least one from every major food group, which has been said before on this site. I’ve had three Spirits in the past and have sold them. [this post was last edited: 1/4/2013-10:54]
