My latest eBay purchase is finally here!!!

[vintagevaclover]

My Hoover Model 29 finally got here and I've done a little cleaning on it. It has the original bag but it has one or two pinholes at the bottom and I have an iron-on patch to fix that with. It sounds like its brand new. The handle has a slight lean to it and I know that that's a common problem with the 60 series but I was wondering if there was a good way to fix it. The pic is the one from eBay, I will post the actual ones soon.

Nice one. I've always liked the colour of that machine. Too bad it wasn't sold in Canada.

Gorgeous!

I'm still trying to find a new outer bag for my 62. My vac shop gave it to me about four years ago. It's in only OK shape, but it runs like a top! I have the original bag, but it's in very poor condition.

Looks swell! Congratulations and Happy Hoover29ing!

Here she is all cleaned up!

If your model 29 is like my model 62

You might want to look at where the handel assembly is riveted to the main vacuum housing. the rivets may be wore loose allowing it to slop around. I had to drill the rivet out and I replaced it with a screw and nylon lock nut. screw head from inside the housing exhaust and the nylon lock nut on the top of the handle assembly. I think I had to file the nut face down so it was not so high as there were clearance issue. Bill,

Update

Today I took the bag off and hand washed it, it was VERY dusty. It turned out good as new and smells great. I also put an iron on patch over the pinholes at the bottom.

Thank you all! I have been VERY occupied with work lately as it is our busy season, so, sorry to all that I havent talked to in a while. Here's a pic of the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval. It's so cool that it's still here after all these years.

I love that you're having fun with the mothimizer!!!! I'll be sending you the manuals to accompany the tools soon...looks like I might've found a brown veriflex hose and tool kit to match the 29 as well!!

I'm not just having fun with the Mothimizer, I'm having fun with all of it! I also really can't wait to try it with the Hoover Original Scent Tabs! A set of 29 tools would be awesome as well I really can't thank you enough for all of help, generosity, and sincere friendship

 

[hooverboy81]

Anytime! I'm so glad you like it! More to come!
