That cord lasted 76 years? Wow. Everything in her house must have been really pampered.

I was JUST fixing to post about this!! And what kind of person would think that the BAG was original? And especially for that price...what a shame...

And I speak from experience that there is NO point in emailing these idiots and correcting their listings. Each time I have done that I have gotten back a snotty or barely literate reply. So I just let them luxuriate in their ignorance and then wonder why no one is bidding on their "prise museam peace worthey of the Smith-Sonean."

Stupid me didn't notice the bag says DVC made for Hoover!

And that's also not the original cord plug, and probably not the original cord either. That's a standard "hardware store" replacement plug, and a fairly late one at that.

This seller is in "Hudson" where everytime it rains someone drowns! Believe me, the folks in Hudson do have crap that stinks...they are just oblivious to what goes on in the real world.

Myhooverco, no problem-seller probably ran it through the dishwasher!

Or that it has different wheels on the rear or the new spring holding the bag, the 12-1977 R marked on the bottom is most likely when it was rebuilt I do something very simmilar to note the last time the machine was in for service.
