Beautiful machines. I had one a few years back in beautiful condition but nowhere near new.

Sale has ended. :-(. Strange design - it's from 1976, but it looks like the motor hood has that beautiful sleek low profile design from 1966! Can the Hooverphiles here please explain? Eurekaprince is quite curious....

Well they certainly didn't last through the day. Hope the new owners post pics of such beautiful machines.

Love the lens on these. Don't recal if they were actually headlight models though.

Brandon....did you win this one? Is that a pic from your home? If yes, congrats!

Wonder if this 1976 version still has the hose slot in the back.....

Did not buy this one! I wish! They are beautiful machines. Mine was in exceptional shape. I believe Fred S now has it?

There was no light.

It was a fake lens... thelast model w/ that hood.


  The "Convertible" print is the same as on the 707.  A great machine.

THis was also one of the very last metal based models

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Correct. In fact, I THINK I heard

that it was THE last metal based Convertibles. I can check my fascts, but I believe that to be true.

It was one of the last metal based hoovers, but it had the front tool conversion and only a 1 speed motor. We sold them in my store in 1979 for $59.95, if memory serves me right, I think they cost us $43.00 at the time and if we bought 12, they gave us free attachment sets for them.

Convertible fan question?

I recently acquired a Model U4119, which I know was one of the first plastic base convertibles. Stripped it down for cleaning and lubing. Noticed it had a metal impeller fan but a plastic upper bearing fan? Is that normal? Were plastic cooling fans used with the metal impeller fans during the trasitioning from metal to plastic based convertibles??
