Found this on Craig's List and and had to go and check it out. I have a soft spot for the Decade 80 machines. This one was in Like New Condition and the guy wanted 25. SOLD! A little clean up and a new bag and to the shrine she goes! Thoughts? Larry | ||

Very nice. What's the model? Wondering, too, if it has the time-coded serial # that Hoover started in 1988. | ||

You can only.... Date Hoover machines by the serial number with machines made after 1987. So since this one was made in or around 1980, that is not possible. | ||

Dating Vacuums
Often if you google the model number, newspapers.com will sometimes have an advertisement archived from a newspaper (subscription required to view) but you can get a date from there.
According to this Paris, Texas newspaper ad, the machine hit the market in winter 1981. CLICK HERE TO GO TO huskyvacs's LINK
