Hoover 160!

Here is my 150

A piecing together of a couple of machines. Those original bags are literally impossible to find since they were quite fragile. I have all the attachments, except the hose.

She lives again!

Fred, your 150 is beautiful. Looking closely, it does seem even more different to the 160 than I'd realized - even the lettering on the band round the motor cover is arranged differently, and with no royal crest, of course!

Oh, and off the off chance that anyone has a spare belt pulley for one of these, give me a shout! I suspect the 160/262 and the 150/26/27/28 used the same kind, with the lip to hold the fan on.

I've made a brief film of her, but pardon those squeaky wheels...
