Finally got the "new" Hoover 700 spruced up! It's pictured here on the left with my 725. I refashioned a black cotton Kirby 500 bag for it as well, so the two vacuums look as close to authentic as is practical. Must say that the 700 has tremendous suction and beating power; it runs circles around any of the newer machines I've tried (with the possible exception of my Filter Queen). Katie the kitty approves!
