Caught sight of an old Hoover bag cleaner today at a thrift shop. Don't see these every day. Appears to be a model 750 motor unit. |

Didn't have the means to transport it. A camaro doesn't have much trunk space. And it had to weigh at least 100 pounds with the base. I doubt it's going anywhere fast. Surely nobody walking in will have any clue what it is. |

If you list it on eBay and the right people see it, you may very well get a High Dollar return on it. I sold a second one I had back in 2008 and it went for around $500 IIRC. It did not have a base; it was mounted onto the corner of a work table.
