Here's an updated list. I've only been looking for convertible sets. I'm trying to figure out what set would've originally gone with my Model 36--wondering if there was a 3600 or 3650?

Does anyone have a good condition Model 36 manual they'd be willing to sell? Even if you don't want to sell, please let me know which tool set model # is mentioned.

I have a pdf for a model 34 that shows 6950 and 3250 tool sets if that helps any.
I could email it to you if you want.

Thanks for your posts, Nicholas. I've only seen one Dial-A-Matic's tools (Model U5909 as listed on the chart), so they must be even more rare than others.

Also, it's helpful to know that the Model 34 mentioned the 3250 and 6250 model sets as it and the 35 were the immediate special convertible predecessors to the 36.

 

[paul]

Which vacuum cleaner(s) did the Model 1845 dusting tool set originally match?

 

[dysonman1]

That set would have fit the 425, 450, and 475 models.

 

[paul]

Thanks, Tom.

 

[fan-of-fans]

I wonder?

Why did the later tool sets of the 1980s not include a floor brush?

Tool Kit 1031 shipped with the Hoover Convertible 1030 from 1972.

There may have been updates as there were with the models U4901 and U4903. Additional information appreciated as before.

Hose Styles & Telescoping Wand

Fyi ...

The double-stretch hose and telescoping wand, introduced in 1955 with the Constellation, touted a 15-foot (30-foot in Canadian ads) cleaning circle without moving the cleaner. Never knew about "Strato-Tools"!

The Tufflex hose was introduced with the Portable canister in 1962. I believe the Slimline, Convertible/Decade 80/Decade 800, Dial-A-Matic, and Concept One tool sets included it.
