My new Hoover 305

[kirbyvertibles]

Chad C picked this up for me a while back and I just got it serviced. This baby sounds like a dream! I have wanted one of these for a long time now. It camw with a MINT instruction booklet. I forgot to add that in the photo, dang it.
The bag is a replacement but is an old replacement. There is a sercive date on the bottom of 1964. It still has the thin plastic headlight lens!!!
Enjoy pics

You can see a paper bag sticking out the back, Marty Kaplan taught this trick, you can take a type C bag and remove the staples, the put it inside the dump out bag and unfold it around the out side of the bottom then put the outer bag back on and that seals the paper bag. That way your dump bags stay clean.

Phillip,

You better thank Sean Curry for the 305 and me for hauling it back for you.

Very nice! I love the hood on the 305.


I have one. Its not as nice. Remember we pulled it out of O'dowd's vacuum shop when you guys were here?

The hood, if I recall was pretty much perfect. I believe the 28 I also got had a damaged hood. Ill look into the hood, and if you want, you could have it!

A great specimen.

Although they are "replacement" bags, I still like them.
