Hit Goodwill today and found a Hoover Model 63 for sale. Looked at it then left it, thought about it and then decided that if I want it today is a sale day. So it was either buy it today or forget about it. I bought it, since it came out to less than $5. Took the paper bag and threw that in the garbage in front of Goodwill then cleaned it when I got home. It still has the 12,000,000 Hoover sticker on the handle. The date stamp on the bottom is Jun 8 1960, it needs a new belt, the one that's in there works but it needs a new one, I'll get that later.

That's a great find, especially in that condition. That's a nice replacement outer bag, good color match and probably uses F&G bags. New belts might be an issue, but a stretched Convertible belt is a good substitute. That was Hoover's first upright to use a throw out bag, originally a C type. | ||

I know, every Goodwill I go to has at least one package of C bags on the shelf
I was cutting down C bags and useing them in an Electrolux Model XXX and now I'm C less. The W bags are kind of interesting and they are open at both ends, one end is like the C bag and the other has cardboard flaps that were clamped. | ||
