Michael, how about a pic of it running! There's just something about the bag being inflated and the light on! |

It looks great and so does the new floor. I just bet each time you walk down there now it's a whole better feeling. My dad used to say that just fixing up the floor alone in a basement makes a whole world of difference even if you don't do anything else and it's true. |

i was going to do that vac-o-matic, but the bulb is burned out. i could take one with the bag inflated but it just isn't the same without the light....you are right! |

Excellent Job Michael!
That's one fine looking 28. And the original bag makes it even better. Wish I could find one for mine, but in the meantime, the replacement I have is pretty close. The 28 has always been one of my favorite Hoovers.

Hey I just bought two of these over ebay really cheap wish they made machines today the way they used too with the art Deco and Streamlining. LOVE IT!!! |

Nice work, again! My grandmother had a 28 that was relegated to the basement with my aunt gave her a 62 she had replaced with a BOL Eureka. I always thought the 28 was a fantastic cleaner and I loved the brown bag. I've found a couple of them at estate sales, but only one with the original bag...congrats on this rare find, guys! |
