 Well i got this Concept one from my grandpa who said he didnt need it anymore because he had replaced it with a P*ssell bagless.

Does anyone have info on what style bags and belts this  beauty uses?

Headlight lens restorer does wonders on removing scuffs from plastic.

One more question.   around what time did this particular color scheme come around?

That is one of the original color schemes from when the Concept One was introduced in 1978. The official Hoover color names are Horizon Blue Light and Jamaican Blue.

so your saying this Concept one is from '78?

No,

He's simply stating those colors where introduced in 1978, once we know when said model or color where discontinued, We'd  manufacturing date of somewhere between 1978-(Date of discontinuation).

 

Of course a more percise way would be to look for casting dates (Dates stamped into the cleaner when the plastic where being formed at HOOVER), or use the serial # decoding system.

To get the scuffs off

use magic erasers with rubbing alcohol. The paint marks will practically jump off. And its cheap! Then I use basic windex to get the residue off from the magic eraser.

At the Tacony Factory, we use regular rubbing alcohol to remove marks from the plastic with no damage to it. Magic erasers will work miracles, but can sometimes take the 'shine' off the plastic. There's a product called "Vac Polish" that is also excellent for the shine.

The 38520-040 belt is an Elite belt... the Concept takes a 38528-008 belt. The concept belt is a bit wider, thicker, longer.

when you go to get....

Just ask for a Hoover Concept Non Powerdrive belt. Any good Reputable Vacuum shop should know what you need 

 

And a Good pice of friendly advice, If the Particular  vacuum shop does not carry genuine Hoover Type "A" Bags, Make shure if you buy generic, that they are DVC Microlined. That will save a good amount of bag leakage.
