So sorry,
that green upright is the HOOVER is model 364, not the 64. I knew that when I posted it. Mind lapse there.

I think we all knew what John meant, Tom. As per usual, you are ever so helpful.

Your 634 is stunning, John! I'm jealous!
The last one I need to complete my sixty series collection!

It was the one that completed mine as well. Yes, Tom A. reminded me of the correct model of it. It's easy to getthem all confused. Some get the 1060 mixed up with the 1076, for example. The hood might be close, but, it is clearly not the same machine. Both will show up soon here. maybe even side by side to compare and contrast. I also plan to show the tools for many of these machines, again, to see the front, rear and side conversions. John.

Hooverboy81 - actually I appreciate Dysonman1's correction. Dysonman1 is a renowned vacuum expert and vacuum museum curator, and the fact that he's reading and correcting it is a sign of the quality of this thread. (If it was a sad and pathetic thread, it wouldn't be worth correcting).
John has an excellent collection, and this is a great thread. Every comment/correction helps push it to the top where it's easier to find and read.

Pretty sure John has his Hoover info straight. A transposed model number isn't a big deal, as we all knew what model it was. The transparency of some people's comments are quite amusing.

A Citation
Obviously not the original bag, but................
I also have it's matching hand-held "Pixie", given to me personally by Ann Haines.

That's a beautiful Citation John, and it looks great with the Pixie (or Dustette, as it was marketed in the UK!).
It is interesting that the HOOVER lettering is on the hood above the Hedlite, rather than below it as in the 612, I always thought it looked better below as it was thereby illuminated when in use.

I agree.
But, soon, you'll see "Convertible" printed on the lens... I thought that was gorgeous. It arrived on the 69 first. THOSE pics will appear soon.
At the moment, I'm in King of Prussia, all weekend, judging a HUGE talent scholarship competition. I just finished for the night and slipped into the corporate center to gain access to a computer. I just wanted to see what's going on in here. Busy day here tomorrow. Talk soon.

We had the "Dustette", too. It's printed on the
bag. Later, they were known as the 'Pixie'. But, then, "Pixie" was used for the "handivac' without the handle.
Another example of multi-useage was the 'Lark'. It was the little 'Kirby-like' lightweight upright. I have the blue one. I won the maroon one years ago, paid w/ a $$ oreder, NEVER got the vac. This was before I knew about Paypal, and had NEVER had a problem w/ a seller before. I never got the machine. Someday, perhaps....isn't that part of the fun of all of this?
It ALSO was the 'stickvac'. Lots of different names, same great HOOVER quality.

Regarding the Hoover Rotisserie oven (Reply 161) - what are those blue lights inside the oven? Or is it an optical illusion?
Those blue lights are just from the flash.
I doubt that appliance was ever used. The glass window has a little white design on it...almost like a bow tie. I took that pic up in the cats' apartment, future home of the "gallery".
Now that the convention is over, I must get back to posting more photos/.
