I haven't had a chance to follow up all the enquiries yet, but here is one I was VERY glad I did!A 90 year old lady called me to tell me she had 'an old 1935 Hoover...' that she would be delighted to see go to a good home. She didn't know the model number, and I had a mental picture of a battered old wreck of a Junior with replacment parts. Since she only lives about 10 minutes away from me, I went over to her house to take a look, more out of politeness than anything.When she showed me into the kitchen, my jaw hit the floor...not some trashed 375, but my favourite vacuum cleaner of all time, Model 800![ATTACH=full]23541[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
