Growing up in the 80's and 90's my mum had a Hoover Constellation. If I remember right it was probably an early 80's model with the white rocker switch and white top and dark yellow/tan bottom part. I have an idea where it might be and this week I will try and find it and clean it up and see if it still works. Wish me luck.
In the meantime my nostalgia got the better of me and I found this Constellation 867A 580 watts for sale cheap and only about a mile a way from me, so I picked it up on Saturday. It has some attachments but unfortunately no extension wand. Yes it has got some patina but it works fine, not loud and great suction. The hovering does work too but seems only on carpets. On the tiled floor it does not really hover.
What do you think of it ? From researching online I would hazard a guess that it is a late 60's or early 70's model.
Wish me luck in finding my mums old one this week
