Today the handles I had shipped from London finally arrived and I was able to assemble 4 of my 6 new Hoover I purchased last week in my UK trip . Here are the news :

HOOVER 800

bag is a replacement, original cable ( the cables leadingfrom the motor to the handle socket have been replaced and protected with a rubber tube for safety but the old springhas been kept, works great, light bulb missing, handle is also well kept, Dreyfuss design

HOOVER 825

bag is an american replacement donated by HOOVER HISTORICAL CENTER in North Canton, works great, handle has lost much paint and rubber handle is repaired cause damaged but all original, cable is a replacement, has been in the same family for almost 80 years and regularly used until few months ago then changed ( "cause it's heavy" !!! ehehe ). A great find for me and a very nice family !

unusual grey 262

I am pretty sure this is not refurbished, has different grey tones scheme and has no wrinkle texture paint as the 262 used to have.....

Hoover 262 underneath

If it is a refurbishment it is for sure the best ever I have ever seen ! I know they did it on 262 too ( rare ) but really in this way ?
