Awesome!
Yes, indeed! I’d love to see that sometime.
I’ve been researching the refurbishment of my Model 725 and believe it may have been a Wartime refurbishment. The cloth bag, the replaced switch, replaced rubber furniture guard, and the painted lower housing all point to a 1943-1945 era refurbishment job.
There are Hoover ads from the war years (1942-1945) with a special price to have your machine serviced and refurbished “until the day comes again when you can buy a new Hoover”.
