There were also aftermarket bags that had Eureka F&G style bag fill tubes and bellows in them. I've got one of those that I swap the original bag in my 28 for whenever I want to use it.

For all the Hoover 28 and 61 buffs out there
Thought I'd share this. I remember seeing this commercial when I was a kid. Strange how Hoover shows the 61 right after the 28 in the evolution when they were offered at the same time. The 28 was my first ever vintage cleaner and I still have it 30 years later. I do like the look of the 61 flat top slightly more. I'd LOVE to find a model 60 Hoover Special dressed up as a 61. I've noticed some 61's have glass headlights, while others have plastic. I'm guessing the later ones were plastic?

Guys and gal fans of the "28"....,
Seems I came across a rarity, and found one myself at an estate sale in Nebraska some years back. Paid next to nothing, but somehow knew the brand name would go far. Original bag, cord (minor damage@ tie-in to upright handle), original beater bar, and the still original lamp, which works, to this day... Best of all, it still runs and cleans well!

I bet the vac shop treats servicing them as a special occasion !

So I know very little about these. How does the hose attach?
Willing to offer mine up...wife does n't want to move it with us, again. Also, significant downsizing, as our rental home is now up for sale. Any takers? PM me.
Thank you, in advance!
