famed 1076 Convertible

[gottahaveahoove]

It was yesterday, July 15, 1975 that I purchased my own Hoover 1076 Convertible.
It was on 'clearance' at Jewelcor, and sold for $84.00
I got it for $59.00. It's been serviced both in Wilkes-Barre and later, Scranton. It was the daily driver for years and years, and still looks and operates in mint condition. I'll try to post a pic from one of the other posts it's in.
It just proves, that, it you take care of good, quality things, they WILL last.

1975, I remember it very well.

It was the first cleaner I purchased

And, paid for it w/ $$ from my H.S. paper route. Imagine !!!!!!
Later, I purchased the 1031 tools in white from Zollinger's, $10.00

Very cool that you still have it and it's like new! I've surprisingly ever bought only two new cleaners, and it wasn't until I was over 20.

Would this be the one, John? I remember how beautiful it was, and is.

That's it!

You ran it when you were here. Fun times!!
