Hoover hose?
James
I am afraid the hose is just a generic replacement to which a Hoover cuff has been added, looks like one off a 638 Senior or an 822 Connie, both of which had the blue stretch hose. As a I sure you are aware the plastic on these tends to discolour, just as it tends to do on the tools. I have one similar which was recovered off anther cleaner I bought and was able to use to make (almost) an authentic hose of an 822 myself.
I have one of those Celebrities myself and I must admit I do not like it at all, but then I don't like the air ride either. Does the pneumatic remote control work on yours? I was a bit tempted on this one as it has the original carpet/floor nozzle but decided to pass in the end. I always wondered why these US Hoovers are so noisy whereas cleaners like the Connie tend to be much quieter.
That's a nice Lux 185, these are just out of my "collecting window" although a do have a more BOL model, I was actually quite impressed by it as it is both light and compact.
