Thanks to Martin Kaplan for sending me a nicely scanned 1936 Hoover Model 825 Owner's Manual. He scanned it at a good resolution and I was able to buff it up a bit. Thanks Martin and enjoy everyone. Fred CLICK HERE TO GO TO compactelectra's LINK |

I see also that the 825 pictured inside the manual has the dual voltage toggle-switch on the back of the motor. Were these common in the US, or are they a rariety? |

Thanks for sharing the manuals! Being in the publishing/graphics arts business, I love looking at vintage vacuum manuals. I have a few manuals I've been meaning to scan and upload as well. |

i have a model 700 manual, and took immediate notice of the enhancing of the photos as well. |

Thank you, Marty and Fred, for this great addition to our instruction book collection! I never knew the 825 used the newer style tools, always thought they were introduced with the 150. And Mike, what part of the publishing/graphic arts business do you work in? I'm a pressman and occasional cutter or folder operator myself. I run a Heidelberg KORD and an A.B. Dick 360. Email me sometime & we'll talk shop. Jeff |

Isn't that just a two-speed motor switch? I mean, it is not intended to switch from 110/220v is it, but merely to operate the machine on high or low speed? |

The switch on the back of the motor housing turns the headlight on and off. I know because I have worked on these motors. |
