The New and Improved Hooverland

[hoover1060]

Thats sure is Seamus!

That row is some of my overseas machines: 638, 6525C, Aussie turbo-lark, and U4186 Senior.
The 638 and the U4186 came from Kevin Cox.
The Aussie machine came from John Grieve

Um Jeff.....

Where are the Connies? I can't remember if you have canisters in your collection.

You do have a very nice collection and its very nicely displayed. Gotta get out to see it sometime.

Joe

WOW!! What a difference it makes - now there's room to play with the machines and enjoy!

And...more room for major appliances ;-)

 

[hoover1060]

Joe,

I have only two connies, a 444 and a tilted 843. I may have a new one later this week though!
I have a handful of canisters split between the two rooms, not more than 10, they just don't do it for me.
Yes you definately need to come out here some time and see this for real!

Greg,
Now we will have room to run machines next month for the gathering. I am very much looking forward to it!

That room makes me smile

WOW!

Jeff...looks great! It is amazing how much space you save by hanging them up...did you remove the handle spring? It looks like you did since they all lay flat. It looks like you have a lot of new floor space too. Is your new canister going to be a "new" Connie? Long Live Hooverland!!!!!

Oh...here is my DAMs all in a row.

Jeff your vacuum "playland" looks fantastic. I love the way you have all the colors set up. Joe sure did a great job and getting it all perfect!! It will be so much easier and more fun to use your wonderful collection. Terry

Congratulations Jeff, the new arrangement really turned out great, especially with those different colors! I hope to one day see Hooverland in person...it must be ten times more spectacular than the pictures show!

 

[hoover1060]

Please note...

Tom's and my DAMs are hanging left to right oldest to newest...I just noticed the color pattern is the same!
Thanks for the idea Tom!

Mike: I used 1X3 boards from Home Depot in 8 feet lengths. I anchored them to the wall studs using 2.5 inch deck screws. From there we hung one cleaner and then measured out the rest(Joe figured this part out for me) then we hung the cleaners using the same deck screws.
I am amazed at how much S P A C E is in that room now(the room size is 15 x 19)

Austin and Corey, you guys are welcome anytime!

Very nice looking display, plus room for more if required!

 

[hoover1060]

more room...

Well, I suppose I could squeeze in a few more... I really have everything I want already though...

I think Hooverland is the "Best Theme Park" ever! I'm glad I had a chance to visit it at the Chicago Convention!

 

[retromom]

Wow, what a collection!!

Jeff:

I am absolutely without words (a rarity for me)! That is the most colourful, fabulous collection I have ever seen!

You definitely do this forum and all vacuum collectors proud!!

Hooverland....no, it should be Hooverworld!!
