I found a hoover 28 at a used/ resale store today- and for only $8! It runs, but sounds pretty rough. I cleaned it up fairly well, cleaned the cobwebs out of the motor and added a little oil to each bearing, although I think the lower bearing could use replacing, along with the carbon brushes, which are only about 1/2 inch long. The brush strips are fine along with thw brushroll bearings. The vacuum has been taken care of, because the top bearing has marked with pencil "9/88 c&l" which I assume means it was cleaned and lubricated in september of 1988. The fan had written on the backside "hoover 28 $1.95", the cord has been replaced, and the bag has been replaced. Are parts still available for it (lower bearing and carbon brushes)? that is basically all I need to have it running well. thanks!
