Just curious, what is it about the 65 that makes it mean so much to you? Surely it's not the 'pank' color. I've had a 65 for years (lucky the hood wasn't warped from the 25 watt bulb they stuck in there when new). It seems no different from any other Convertible. Personally, the 31 - with it's unique switch-in-the-bail - would seem to "me" to be more highly desirable. But - in any event - congratulations on obtaining a model that makes you so happy.

Welcome to Vacuumland dude.
Congratulations on your find, it is a rather rare thing to find in South-Africa, hence if you ever find one. The Aluminium Strip above the headlight and the distinctive Colour of pearl and rose is amazing. The Single speed motor as appose to the twin speed in later models were also remarkable in a stepping stone to the more developed models. Enjoy it and should you have any questions as far as the history, dating etc goes, this is the group to be membered off. A group of people who has a passion all around the world, in every aspect of each model, strengths' and weaknesses, development manuals etc. Some even having a belter knowledge than the designer. Have a look at John's vast collection of Hoovers in Ohio. Concourse, Original, in every Colour and model available. Tommy from Milan has a beautiful collection of "children" a must to see if you ever go to Italy. Tommy has an enormous range of Information on catalogues, manuals, dated and stipulated information you can het lost in for days at end. Regards Adrian. |

Awesome to see you on here bud. I buy bulbs from brights hardware store here in Cape Town, If you need some send me a whatsup and i will get some sent to you. The bulbs never seem to last very long , more than likely from the vibration of the beater bars. Dont forget to post some pics of the ones you got from Heinrich.
