I can tell you this:
Ron F. (seller) is a great guy who has some great machines.
Yes, MIB fetched a high price. But, only because someone really wanted it, AND could /would pay that price. As we all know" How much is something worth?" is asked all the time. Now, we know. We've seen other machines go for high sums in the past. I love the 69, would loved to have THAT one. However, I couldn't/wouldn't pay that, but someone did. Good luck to them. I'd certainly never bash a seller,buyer, make... Even I, yes, I, have rescued, purchased (non-Hoover species), to give to others who loved them. I've sold, traded, given. I even cleaned them up a tad before they left my place. I'd certainly pay a decent price, even, perhaps over $10.00.... But, Ron sold a few great specimens of Hoover. Seems like "Hoovermania" has "swept" Ebay! | ||

I noticed the on/off switch is red instead of white. Does that mean it was replaced ? | ||

Ludicrous that anyone would pay that for a MIB vac without the original Owner's Manual. And the seller had it, but can't find it.....lol.
I'm having way too much fun with my 1070 to consider another Hoover upright.

Thanks for that clarification, John. I was pretty sure that was mentioned in the forum recently, but nice to know from a Hoover expert.

A truly beautiful machine! Think of the joy the winner will get from that machine! You can't put a price on that. John, YOU ALWAYS take the high road! Don't ever change! Hope to meet you one of these days! Best! Richard. | ||

If I had the cash, I would definitely pay good money for a New-In-Box vacuum from the 1960s or 1970s - especially if it was a strong image from my childhood memories. Whenever I see an NIB Eureka Williams vacuum on eBay, I wish I had the funds to buy it and pay for shipping. For some people, its out of date junk, for others it is a valuable piece of personal history.

when you say powers that be... I assume you mean Tom Anderson? =) I did not realize that was the reason. But that makes perfect sense. | ||

yes.
Whenever I'm in need of accurate information, I go directly to North Canton, AND the expert, who has very correct facts/paperwork.
Tom A. is one of ,y closest friends on the planet. I've often said that I was much closer to him than I was to my own, late brother (no disrespect to Bill). Some folks pretend to be a fan of Hoover, when, they really aren't. Some hate Tom A. because he loves/lives Hoover. Some hate me for the same reason. Some because Tom and I are partners in crime, very like-minded. He told me about the missing Hoover logo on things years ago, as well as the early models sporting the red switches. | ||
