Marty Rocha very kindly sent me several vacuum brochures that he came accross in his travels. Two vaccums in them, (Hoover 69 and a Eureka from the 1930's with no model number), are ones in my collection so this was really wonderful. The Hoover one features the entire Hoover line of appliances. I scanned it and wanted to share here. I had to do it in three scans and the last one is slightly grainly...sorry! This first pic is what is just inside the front of the brochure. You can see the fold lines.

ian88, You are correct. The model 69 was the deluxe and the 34 was the convertible special. The motors are just the same and both are two speed. The main visable differences are the 69 has a longer cord, full wrap around bumber, headlight and the vinyl bag zips up insteading of snapping up. The brushrolls are the same and they both use the "C" bag. The 69 was the first convertible to use a white handle instead of a painted handle to match the hood and bumper. The 69 also has a cushioned handle grip. I thought the colors of both models were fantastic. I had a 34 Convertible Special that I gave to Fred Stachnik since he needed one for his collection. I have the Deluxe 69 and it is a wonderful performer as are so many of the convertibles. Many club members have one or both. To make mine really pristine, I acquired 3 and took the best from all. I put on a new Hoover medallion and it looks fresh from the factory! The only flaw is that the outer vinyl bag was still using the hinged holder at the top and the handle tended to crack completely through after years of use. This happened to me and Jeff Parker graciously helped me out with a replacement. The hinged holder disappeared and the spring holder appeared with the model 70 or 1060. | ||

Much more variety of US vacuums than the old UK models..much more adventurous designs which is always good for the enthusiast. if anyone wants to whack me on msn for a chat about life the universe and everything let me know =p | ||

We only had the model 69 style in the UK, and of course the later "Ranger" design which I think is a damn solid design ;] Let alone the famous built like a brick outhouse commercial models ;] | ||
