Lol I was watching that until the end but chickened out as I'd bought too much stuff already! Strip and clean it but leave the paint alone. Then use it with company and see what the reaction is | ||

Shows how tough Hoover vacuums can be even after being stored in the barn-they still can be fixed up to work like new!The scream can be saved in case the machine CAN'T be revived?For what it is-the motor looks in fairly good shape-looks like it can be saved from the depths of time. | ||

the Rustalation
is no more it took ages but i finally got rid if all the rust and have just given it its first coat of white undercoat i also managed to straighten out the bent skirt so its getting there slow but sure .Havnt touched a Constelation in 30 years and had forgotten what a simple little thing it is [rather like an upsidedown henry]can anyone tell me why some of the USA Connies were tilted forwards was there a reason for this ?.I have seen lots of photos of them in various threads and thought would the dirt not pile up at the front of the bag or were they arranged differently inside or was it just a gimic to make them look better ?

a snap on tool rack eh
a good idea i suppose but wouldnt it kind of defeat the nice streamlined effect .I personally dont like on board tools but if the connie had to have them with just a simple change in the design they could have gone inside the machine what with all that wasted space around the motor thus preserving the atractive look of the machine
