Yes indeed i also ended up with a Hoover Convertible from there as well with a steel lined fan chamber, ill post a thread on that soon, or probably just post the pictures here depending on what sounds best, this 600 is also one of my favorite style of elites, with no tool caddy, and were these made to compete with orecks? i heard someone ask that question once but i didnt see the answer, that info would be greatly appreciated, ill post an update when i get a new roller
