My Aerodynes
I have a model 50 that i have slowly been adding tools to. I bought it years ago, just the tank. I had never seen a Hoover tank up until then and thought i should get it. I just need the upholstery nozzle and it will be complete.
My model 41 is also just the tank. I was bidding on tools and hose but of course was out bid 
Model 51 was an ebay purchase that has all the tools.
Model 53 is in the best conditon of all my Aerodynes.
Model 55. LOL! Heres a funny story. I was driving to work about two weeks ago and i see a beat up old tank vacuum at the curb of a house two blocks from the hospital. It looks vaguely like my model 41 so i drive around the corner to get a second look at it and it's a 55!!! Okay a beat up 55!!! So i can't stop and pick it up because i'm on my way to work and so are alot of other people and that last thing i need is for half the hospital staff to see me picking up junk off the side of the road! I reason that if it is still there when i get off work some 13 hours later ( and when it's dark! ) i will pick it up because it was meant to be! So i'm driving home and there it is!! I pull over across the street but one house down, and as the street light is shining brightly on my white uniform, ( good grief, of all days to wear white) i make a run for it and grab the 55 and the hose off the curb and throw it into the back of my truck and speed off before anyone can see me. Once home and on closer inspection i find the 55 to be a one on Rick's scale of one to ten. (Don't ask!) What i do like is that i now have a machine end hose coupler that i can possibly use for my 41! That made the whole thing worth it!!
