 I happened to be looking on eBay this week and found this very nice Hoover Convertible 1010 from a local seller. He was a very nice man who happened to be a former Kirby distributor.
Overall, the convertible is in nice shape. The hood looks like a replacement to me, but the bag seems to be original (someone, correct me if I'm wrong). I haven't seen or heard very much about the model 1010. It does have the two position height adjustment and the only other convertible that I have with the two position, is the one I purchased from Tom at the convention. These definitely have a different feel to them than the later 70's convertibles.
It did scream when I first turned it on. But after running it for awhile the noise seemed to die down. I plan on putting some grease on the bearings later on in the week.

Yes the hood is a replacement. It would have had the lime green "convertible" hood as on the 1020. No light or anything. Here is a bad picture of the hood on my 1020. Your bag is original! :)

yes, the hood is a replacement. The correct hood would be the same or very similar shade of green like a 1020 hood, and on the 1010 it didnt have the dark rectangle with Convertible, it simply said Convertible in small seal griege letters | ||

Thats right! I was thinking of the 1030 for a second.
