Finished Hoover & Lux

[longlivekirbys]

So today I finished cleaning up my Hoover 700 and my Electrolux XXX. I took apart and oiled some of the parts on the Hoover then cleaned everything. Then after that I put a black Belden cord on it instead of the white Convertible one it had, Now it runs great! As for the Lux I polished almost all the metal, cleaned the inside and outside and cleaned the attachments. And also I hand washed both the Hoover and the Lux bag.

Eventually I will get around to polishing the Hoover but for right now I think it looks just fine!

Here are some pics! Enjoy!

Just lovely! A couple of beautiful machines, they must sound so nice.I think a XXX could lull me to sleep.

Thanks!

I would have to agree on how calming the Lux is!

Great job

I can tell that black cord looks much better than the white one would have, did you salvage that off of another machine?

 

[longlivekirbys]

Yep!

I had an old Hamilton Beach hand vac that i got it off of many years ago and ive been saving the cord for something like this!

Beautiful Machines, Trevor!

Excellent restoration job! And I'll bet they sound as good as they look!

Looking good

I was amazed when I took different grades of steel wool to the rear end of my model 30. It took years off of its appearance. Keep up the good work Trevor!
