Have a look at the description of the Hoover 425.

This is one of the best written descriptions I've ever seen. This seller gives a lot of data, even if you can't bid on it, have a look, it's well worth it!

Is there a link? I can't seem to see it on your post.

Marty's work is fantastic. He helped me with my first restoration! This is the most beautiful 425 I've ever seen! If I didn't already have one I'd be all over this! His work is top notch!

Question, why did only this model have a flat belt?

Marty?!!All of his machines are like this.

You can be sure...

If you get a restored Hoover/Kirby from Marty, it will be a fresh as it was when it was new. His restorations are meticulous! He has done work for me on several Hoovers, and they come back like new. When he restored my 634, he couldn't stand to let it come back to me with the replacement bag that was on it, so he sewed me a new one in gorgeous matching fabric, embroidering the Hoover letters on the front and the Hoover circle logo on the back. I about fainted when I went to pick it up, as it was a surprise addition for my birthday/Christmas present. He is truly a Hoover guru if there ever was one.

Indeed,

he is.

You folks are TOO MUCH! Thank you for the kind words. I hope the 425 goes to a good home.
