I don't have anything so rare, Garry, that I have to do that. But I am on the lookout always for genuine Hoover Connie bags.
No so much anymore however, because I'm using the retro Connie as my DD.

I retro fitted my newer white Connie to take a Hoover power nozzle and plan to do the same with my aluminum one also.
Since the white one was a lower end model I used a white and grey matching Futura power nozzle and for the aluminum and black model I will use a black windtunnel power nozzle for the higher end. I am pondering the idea of making my 60's all orange 444 fitted with a power nozzle. I'm thinking trying to see (with the help of my father in law who is a welder) if I can come up with a way to use an extra orange Convertible Special 34 I have that was the matching upright to this Connie and see if I can do an Airway/Don Clarke type set up aka tandim air. |
