50 years ago, today, I purchased my prized 1076. I still have the paperwork,etc. I'll post pics, later. It was a clearance at Jewelcor: $59.00...$63.00 with tax. It's been serviced by the late Gnall Jones of Wilkes-Barre, PA, and, later, in Scranton.
Still looks and runs like it did in 1975.
Built to endure...
 
John, that's amazing you have a vacuum that you bought as a kid with newspaper route money, and it still works today 50 years later?! WOW! Well, at least with having it serviced regularly, you can say you got your money's worth out of that Hoover LOL.

What's sad about today's world is, a kid that bought a new vacuum wouldn't have his new cleaner last nearly as long. Oh well, not much we can do about it.
 
At jewlelcor, that day, the t e was the powder blue convertible, snap bag, etc. That's the one I went there to buy. But, when I saw the last. Floor model 1076, ( very old stock), the choice was clear. I did get the blue one, eventually. Pics of that, if you'd care to see it, too.
 
please post the pictures of the blue u4021 i still have them here on my digital camera when you brought it up for what you would call a playdate it was such an honor to have it here back in 2011 .....i wish i knew how to upload the photos from my old 2007 camera
