yes Thats a replacement handle and bag! The original switch went out, so the entire handle was replaced from a garage sale machine. I think the bag as well... Praise God she saved the originals!

the new bag is an exact match to the original, except it says HOOVER on it, the original had a funky design...see my U4009 in the upper left of the pic... | ||

I'm sure... Mr. Parker here will have that thing like new again in no time! BTW I love that Guardsman in the background! I seem to be very partial to the older commercial Hoovers espescially the 91s, 913s, and early Guardsmans! | ||

Jeff, Excellent job. You really did a number on it. Looks fantastic. Now, maybe next time I visit I won't indulge so much and you can show me the ropes on detailing machines. Nice try Fred. Jeff, make sure to tell the world it's not for sale or we'll have another "thread from hell" Pat | ||

Beautimous! Nice job Jeff, you and lil' Fred do such great restorations, I've got some from each of you, and they're always like new when you get them. What do you use for the shine on the hood? I've been using a carnuba car wax, is that overkill? | ||

yeah, I will give it back with the stip that if she ever gets tired of it I would like to add it to my collection. I like the family ones, lots of sentimental value! | ||

Hey Jeff, Great job with the restoration. I especially like the "updated" Hoover medallion. Too bad they didn't put that on at the factory. It really enhances the look of the machine. Joe | ||
