Ah, Jack, more of those very-easy-on-the-eye pictures, and a great vacuum too. Very nice two-tone blue. Love the first low profile picture; looks like its ready to take on all the dirt in the house.

Hey Jack

VERY nice - will be even better once you find an original handle grip for it .

(Knowing your luck with finding stuff Im sure you will!).

Id love a 638 one day- hey I can dream lol.....

Great Find, Jack!!

What a beautiful machine, and apparently it's the UK version of the model 63 in the US. Both great vacuums that do a wonderful job on the carpets. Congrats,
Jeff

Jack, congratulations on another beautiful addition to your collection!!!! I sure wish that you and Mike were going to be able to attend the convention this year. You know it's not to late to change your mind!!! It would be so good to see you again.

Hoover - Who Better...!!!!!

And another, nice one Jack, looks in fine shape, just watch those bags, those sateen ones like the 1334 fray as much as you look at them, one snag and youre running for your darning kit!!!

Terry, yes I know, just too much happening to make it this year, first year missed for a long while!!!

 

[luxg]

I know it is the first one you have missed in a while Mike, so why not change your mind and join us!!! I know that sometimes things come up but just know how much both you and Jack will be missed. Hugs!! Terry

The thanks for this machine - or at least, for 50% of it - go to my friend Al. He found the 638, with it's original bag and cord, in an old-style vac-shop near where he works. I'd totally forgotten all about it until he turned up on my doorstep one evening last week, and presented it to me!

This is what it looked like when it arrived:

I already had this 638, which had just been sitting in the attic for a few years. Pattern bag, cord, no handgrip, bad motor bearings...
