Wow...it always amazes me how these machines can be transformed to like new condition. This is a very nice looking machine, Jeff.

Sooooooooooo...

How much do y'all think it's worth?



*ducks and runs like hellllllllll*

 

[rugmaster37]

not into running but I wanna just get into it tonight...

After Jeff Parker has worked on it...the Hooverland Wizard Extrodinaire..at LEAST $300.00 as many of them have been going for lately.

Jeff does exquisite work, and very thorough if I remember correctly. It will look like it was just out of the box. He could after selling it on CrazybaY be able to buy her another vacuum cleaner, and perhaps a steak dinner out with the family....

Peeking around the corner :-|

Jeff,

Excellent job. You really did a number on it. Looks fantastic. Now, maybe next time I visit I won't indulge so much and you can show me the ropes on detailing machines.

Nice try Fred. Jeff, make sure to tell the world it's not for sale or we'll have another "thread from hell"

Oh Veda...

Now, don't go stirring up trouble...

Pat,

Nicely put. I concur.

BTW, have been hearing nice things about you and look forward to meeting you soon.

Beautimous!

Nice job Jeff, you and lil' Fred do such great restorations, I've got some from each of you, and they're always like new when you get them. What do you use for the shine on the hood? I've been using a carnuba car wax, is that overkill?

 

[myvacsrock]

B-E-A-utiful

 

[myvacsrock]

is that model's original bag have a weird but pretty star looking thing on the side?

worth???

Veda dear, ever wonder what its like to ride long distances in the trunk of a Grand Marquis?

I used super fine steel wool and then brasso on the hood, it makes them gleam!

 

[74simon]

Beautiful!

Your cousin's one lucky gal! I'll remember that steel wool trick.

 

[hoover1060]

super fine steel wool...

rub lightly, and the marks will come off. Follow with a wipe with a damp cloth, then follow that with brasso metal polish.

Pour about a quarter size puddle atop the hood, use a paper towel to rub it in a circular motion, then buff with a soft cloth.
Do one section of the hood at a time, and repeat as you feel necessary to produce the shine desired.

I'll never forget the first time Little Fred saw me take steel wool to a hood....

 

[dial-a-nap]

It looks just beautiful, Jeff - are you sure you want to give it back?

 

[hoover1060]

yeah,

I will give it back with the stip that if she ever gets tired of it I would like to add it to my collection.
I like the family ones, lots of sentimental value!

Hey Jeff,

Great job with the restoration. I especially like the "updated" Hoover medallion. Too bad they didn't put that on at the factory. It really enhances the look of the machine.

Joe

 

[hoover1060]

updated medallion

Thanks Joe!
I didn't really have a choice with the medallion, as the original one kinda rubbed off when I was polishing it, so I put that one on.
I am excited for Susan to get this back now, I know she's going to love it!
