Guardsman

Here's one of mine. It was my Grandma's, and it has seen tons of wear and tear. I replaced the hood with a convertible one becuase the headlight lens was missing. It still runs great though.
Most of my family had Guardsmans. My Dad's Grandpa was a Hoover dealer in Provo Utah. When he died in the early 80's he had a couple dozen of these stockpiled. They got dispersed to the family, so everyone had one. My aunt brags about how she had someone work on hers and he told her it was the last good Hoover made.

The switch cover.....

I notice some have a cover on the switch and some dont- was this a production change or have they just gone awol on the ones without?.

Seamus

P.S to David- did yours have the same red bag as the others originally?

HAHA!

I LOVE Andy from Little Britain! Lou and Andy are the BEST! I have three seasons' on dvd as well as their live show. It sucks though having all these funny quotes from teh show that I say to people and they have no clue what I'm talking about cuz they are clueless about that show here in Oklahoma.

Little Britain

Don't worry Cory; you're not alone. I'm a huge fan of Little Britain.

This is a bit off topic... and I don't mean to hijack this thread...

Seamus,

Are you a fan of the new Doctor Who series? Is season three available on DVD in the UK yet? I can't wait to get it.

Andy...

Corey...

I think Andy is great- my favourite sketch is the one where he climbs the pylon after his frisbee .

Mike...

Im not sure - I watch it occasionally but not a huge fan I have to admit!

i want the pics cuz i have one on hold AT A THRIFT STORE and i am obsessed with that model

 

[swingette]

The earlier models did not have the red switch actuator.

Hello Seamus. I changed the bag on mine. The original on mine WAS the one you see on the others.

 

[ian88]

I'd have made a better Master imo, Seamus >.>

 

[myvacsrock]

WOW! Brett your guardsman is so beautiful! You polish like a dream!! Do you have the original bag or are they hard to find with the original bag????

Switch cover

Kyle, mine had a cover. But it was broken and has a sharp edge. So I took it off. Works just fine without it.
As my Dad would say "useless weight on the dragstrip."
