I made a trip up to the flea market where I got my Eureka Ultra last year, and had a little bit of luck. Since it is out of season, there were barely any outdoor vendors, but the inside was PACKED with random junk, as usual. There are 6 main buildings, and each one had at least one Hoover elite, no joke. They were either 200s, or 350s. I did find a Hoover Legacy buried under tons of stuff, that I had as a kid. This thing was caked in dirt, but after cleaning it off, it came out very well, but the motor was dead. So I found another motor for it, and it is as good as new! I paid 2 dollars for it!
Next was a Regina Housekeeper 5000, that is not pictured. It is to far gone, so I just threw it out. It was free though.
I also found a very neat Self Propelled Dirt Devil Cruiser! I have wanted one of these for quite a while, and I remember seeing them at Home Depot, and thinking they looked like a Kirby. All I had to do was unjam the brushroll and give it a wipe down. It is also missing the turbo tool and crevice tool, but I do have some I can put on it! I got that one for 6 dollars.
Lastly, is a Hoover Convertible High Performance. I found this one $20 dollars at the vacuum store there. I couldn't decide between this or a neat F&G. It sure is neat though!
