Some Hoover finds and restorations

[gsheen]

My friend Colin found this commercial U7013 for me some time back.
It was near the coast and had corroded a bit.

I love the original color scheme of this model so I set to work sanding down the hood and base for re polishing. The motor and brush were rebuilt too

Buffing the hood,

Hi Garry

I will post some pics of what I do , but in a nut shell its sanding and then rebuffing first with buffing soap and then with polishing cream

Joanne found me this little Junior dirtfinder a while back I finally got it all service and running. a good polish too. This model has a shake out bag but interestingly a plastic easy release cord holder
