In the car and safe with the other few plastivacs that immediately went into the trash... FILTHY and from a somewhat nasty house that just reeked of grease/fried foods; thus the sent that was now permeating my car. |

Ugh, that nasty, nasty hose... I spent about 2.5 hours scrubbing every friggin' inch of that hose by hand... came out really nice, but geez, what a pain in the @$$. |

Gorgeous machine! You did a superb job restoring it! I cant get into detail like you can. Every machine you work on turns into a crown jewel! Congrats on the great find! |

When I saw its condition in the car, I was worried. You did a FANTASTIC Restore on that. It looks terrific!! Your entire collection looks terrific.
Congratulations on the terrific find! Enjoy, I hope your parts come through ok. I think Mielesalesman will definitely take care of you. I got a gorgeous Hoover Celebrity Elite IV power head from him. It's perfect!! Eventually I'll get my Hoover Celebrity Elite IV suction unit from another collector whos working on it, and they will be a great team! |
