Hoover Vacuum Collectors Guide?

[squarehandle]

Since I can't seem to find one, I thought I would sort of start one here beginning with my personal favorite Hoover Convertible Uprights the Decade series of dust collecting apparatus:

Model /Hood Color
The Decade 80 2 speed motor bail switch models top fill only

U4151 Light Blue (maybe Jamaican Blue code KH - the IPL for this model is incorrect)
U4153 JM Oyster White
U4159 LB Frost Beige (I found one of these hoods NOS at Hesco)
U4161-9 LS Jade Green Light

Power Surge Decade 80s (top fill only)

U4381-9/930 LS Jade Green Light (my personal all time favorite)
U4385 KS Mist Gray
U4407 MT Slate Green Light

Decade 800s (top fill only)
U4501 /-9 MR Blue Shadow
U4503-9 WW Thorn Gray (proud owner)
U4721-900 ABB - code not listed but I call it Supremacy Dark Burgundy

Please correct any of this data If I am wrong
Thanks to John Gregory for your Decade 80 rant in post #183313
and also many thanks to Fred Nelson for the long list of Hoover color codes (it is my palette and Hoovers are my canvas)

Also please consider this to be my wish list!

I wonder if it was the one vacuumfreak is wanting to get rid of.

BTW I bought the U4101 base. I have a NOS hood from hesco and a ton of motors, I need the black plastic indicator with the neon red stripe on it and the metal guide that holds it to the motor saw it in the picture, Thanks. I am putting it all on a U4497-900 with a new green handle.
