Some Hoover Vault Finds...

Then with more force, turn the lever completely to the left in a counterclockwise direction. This will lift the belt out of the way so that the hose can be connected.

Then you just insert the metal machine end of the hose. There is a button on the hose to push when you want to remove the hose. Then just reverse the steps and the belt will be restored to the armature. The suction is quite good with the tools. I can see why these sold so well in the UK. Too bad we did not have more models here especially the dirtsearcher model with the headlight!

More great stuff

It just gets better with every picture. I can't believe some of these things. Hate how the light plastics discolor with age though.

Here is a first series Celebrity cleaner. This one is a straight suction and has the three little casters on the bottom. It is an odd color too. Perfect for 1974!

Here is the tag...just about 34 years old!

Inside...clean as the day it was built even the original bag...I did fire it up and it runs great.

Here is the top tool garden on this one...I think that my friend still has one or two more of these to sell off.

I haven't seen that model anywhere except in pictures, and for some reason, that design is my least favorite. And this one here is drop dead gorgeous!! It's starting to grow on me.......

This is a 1953 edition model 42 "Areodyne". This was the cheap version of the model 53. It was built on 9.4.53 and is one of the last 4,000 or so made. Not the first of last unit, but still oh so cool!

Hose end...thanks to our very own Kyle, I have a nice tool set, instruction booklet, and a box. Kyle the tools and accessories still have a very good home here!

bottom details...note the white cord...I am still looking for a nice blue Hoover cord for it. This one is off of a later polisher and is "branded" Hoover on the plug end. This is not the easiest machine to work on!

Looking inside the bag. This machine was equipped with both the cloth and the disposable paper bag. This paper bag feels like the same material as the type W Handisac. I wonder if these were available in the reusable paper bags?
