Hoover Concept One

[filterboy244]

 Well i got this Concept one from my grandpa who said he didnt need it anymore because he had replaced it with a P*ssell bagless.


Does anyone have info on what style bags and belts this  beauty uses?

awesome thanks.   i really love the color scheme on this  Concept 1 but not sure how i can get the scuffs off it

scuffs

Headlight lens restorer does wonders on removing scuffs from plastic.

Thank you.  a video of this  C1 is in the works once i get a fresh bag in it.

One more question.   around what time did this particular color scheme come around?

 

[raycarter]

That is one of the original color schemes from when the Concept One was introduced in 1978. The official Hoover color names are Horizon Blue Light and Jamaican Blue.

 

[filterboy244]

so your saying this Concept one is from '78?

 

[super-sweeper]

No,

He's simply stating those colors where introduced in 1978, once we know when said model or color where discontinued, We'd  manufacturing date of somewhere between 1978-(Date of discontinuation).


 


Of course a more percise way would be to look for casting dates (Dates stamped into the cleaner when the plastic where being formed at HOOVER), or use the serial # decoding system.

To get the scuffs off

use magic erasers with rubbing alcohol. The paint marks will practically jump off. And its cheap! Then I use basic windex to get the residue off from the magic eraser.

Magic Eraser

Ok thanks ill try that.

 

[dysonman1]

At the Tacony Factory, we use regular rubbing alcohol to remove marks from the plastic with no damage to it. Magic erasers will work miracles, but can sometimes take the 'shine' off the plastic. There's a product called "Vac Polish" that is also excellent for the shine.

The 38520-040 belt is an Elite belt... the Concept takes a 38528-008 belt. The concept belt is a bit wider, thicker, longer.

 gotcha.  Now im off to see if the local vac shop has that specific belt.
