Found two uprights recently side by side at the curb, a Hoover Concept One U3101 and a General Electric P4U7.
Plenty of info available on the Concept One, so no real need to post about it, as belts and bags are readily available, but the General Electric is a different story. Does anyone have any info about this one? Cast into the metal on the bottom is: CAT NO. P4U7, and ink stamped next to that are the characters 380Z My research says that this is a pre-1972 model, and GE discontinued selling vacs, and then this model was sold by Premiere Electric. Any info would be appreciated, especially need to know what kind of belt to pop in there in order to get the brushroll going again. It is very similar to the one in this video: | ||

For the General Electric, you can use Eureka style F&G upright bags (which are the exact same design as the original GE upright bags) and Eureka style RD upright belts. | ||

On second thought, disregard the info about the belt. Since the GE uses a flat belt, try the Hoover Elite/Legacy belts. | ||

I got the Belt!
I bought the Dirt Devil 4/5 belt at Home Depot.
On the back of the bag it is written Distributed by Hoover,Inc., even has the Hoover.com url on the bag, but zero mention that it fits any Hoover products, only Dirt Devil models. Seems to me like they are doing themselves a disservice by not listing the multitude of models that this belt would fit. I would suspect, and even expect that such a listing would increase the sales of the belts to consumers.
