So basically it's a 60 made into a 61. Thanks. Finally got a chance to test it the other day. Seems to run fine. |

Hello All and jordan3399,
There is Thread No. 113 from 09-10-2006, Post No. 956 that could be of interest to you and in that same Thread is Post No. 968 which shows pictures of a Hoover Model 60 with the handle mounted handle release. I believe Hoover made the Model 60 from 1940 to 1942 with just 114,734 being made. It seems the handle release was a problem with the Model 60. The Hoover Model 61 was made after WWII from 1946 to 1950 with 389,826 being made. I believe both 60 and 61 were top of the Hoover line and expensive. The Hoover Model 28 was made from 1946 to 1950 and a whopping 2,278,594 were made. I think any one owning a Hoover 60, 60 Special or 61 is lucky to have one. I own a Hoover 61 which is in fair to good shape and it took a long time to find it. Finding an original Hoover 60 I would think to be near impossible. There are some really low volume Hoover vacuums out there with less than 8,000 being made. Thank you for looking, Pete |
