I was at John Gregory's "Sweeper Central" yesterday. Apparently, he got me one of my favorite Convertibles. He knew I already had one, or two, but... Wasn't that nice?
He got it on Ebay from, none other than, Mr. Alex Braun! A very nice unit, indeed. Great shipping, great sounding. A great surprise. John, areyou happy with his unit?

What a blast from the past.
The insignia on the bag reminded me that my Mom had one just like this when I was a teenager in the 60's. She replaced her Lux XXX and Kenmore Power Nozzle canister with this, I think. Brought back many memories. Guess that's why I have a few convertibles myself. The one in the picture is at my Fort Lauderdale home and the other three are in Buffalo area home.

Thank, John!
It was a "must have". Now, I have 4, perhaps 5. I should photograph them all together. I too my 1st one to the N Canton convention. Some have the logo on the lens cover, others didn't. I could never understand how a cleaner with no light, no handle grip, and a snap bag could be "Deluxe", but, then, again...

Absolutely Gorgeous! You are certainly a man after my own heart, John. Being a die-hard Hoover fan myself, I am very glad to see that such a fine vintage Hoover went to someone who truly appreciates it. (BTW, I also love your U4003 too!) I wish you many years of happiness with it! | ||
