Well, I did it! I came over to Hoover. I fell for this blue Decade 800 and got it. It was in good shape, very little damage to the decal.
I finally finished the cleanup. Laundered the bag, (carefully), wiped down non-electricals and followed the Youtube video for servicing a Decade 80. The brush roll bearings were cruddy. One thing, the handle is black instead of blue. I hope to replace it with a blue one AND find a user's manual.
I plan to use it this Saturday. Kinda sounds a bit noisy; I am sure I reassembled everything correctly. A friend gave me some A bags and out of a small batch of old belts, I found 4 that were useable.
I ordered a set of synthetic Hoover A bags from "electricvac" and they sent paper. They are ignoring my messages.
Apparently, I have joined the Hoover lovers.
