Hoover Portable: School me

Got it, Barry.

Check out this older Vacuumland thread regarding Hoover Portables for details:

Hope you get your wands. I haven't had success with any requests I've posted at Vacuumland either; so I'd again recommend checking your local vac shops, thrift stores, Craigslist, garage sales, et cetera.

P.S.

My bad, Barry--just took time to read the whole paragraph on the "Secondary Filter" I'd posted for you and noticed that I'd assumed that it was an exhaust filter instead of a pre-filter. So you were right in using that term.

No problem, Paul

I just appreciate the information!
I can see how you could think that.
If you figure the pre-motor filter would be a "primary" filter, it would make sense to think "secondary" filter...after the motor.
But I guess they consider the filtration provided by the bag to be the first stage of filtration, thereby making the pre-motor filter the second stage.

I sent you a note in Supermarket.
Yes, I DO have an extra telescoping wand. We''l talk after the VCCC convention.
Do you need Type J bags?

Yeah, Barry, that's exactly what I'd thought.

I think your deduction is correct regarding the primary and secondary filtration.
