Excellent Work Andrew!

Looks beautiful and sounds great, too! I always liked the 800 and 825 and although I don't have either one, I do have a 475 and a 300. I think next to the 28, 29, and 63, the "coffee can" Hoovers from the 30's are probably my favorites! Here's a couple pics of my 475.

Pending work...

Thanks Jeff - all I've really done so far is clean and service the inside of the motor. I’ve got lots of polishing to do yet, and I'm probably going to take this to the buffing wheel in my garage. I've got a source for the proper bag for it, some replacement wheels, and possibly a black bumper. I'm going to repaint the handle as well, so I've got a lot of cosmetic work to do on it yet - stay tuned!

Love it

Love the 700 and the 475 also, Great bearing job Andy. I was never all that great at those jobs I usualy ended up breaking/loosing something but I have done a few with success lol.

YOUR restoration is

magnificent. Well-done !!!!

but, looking at these ads, doesn't it seem that there is a lot of "stuff" in "closets"?
