 A friend of mine in the Vacuum Business referred me to a longtime shop in the area, to pick through. After a nice, long visit with the owner, he started filling up bins with things for me to "Haul outta this place!"
Starting off, we have a machine I've wanted for some time, a Hoover 913. This one needs a total overhaul. That will be a project after work someday soon. Hoover Plastibase...This one is in nice shape. Ill probably leave it up at my Grandmothers as we need a decent vacuum there. Hoover portable...matches the 1060. This one can use some love...

Lots of old parts! Sad that Sears has crumbled to nothing now. I've been thrifting a lot, and I've got an entire 2 bins full of bags that I've collected just since January that I only paid $1 a piece on average for. Even found some Endust brand bags, never even knew they made those. My local Menard's hardware store also has Kirby paper bags for about $2.80 each.
Also is that a lineman's phone in the background? | ||

Great scores especially the brush inserts; I know those aren't particularly easy to find. Love that orange/white Convertible, I need one of those for my collection. | ||

Nice scores!
Hey Andy,
That Portable is the same color as the one I remember from childhood! I scored a turquoisey colored one at a thrift store a couple of weeks ago for $10. That's the one that we were discussing exhaust filters for. I still need to get to the Depot for some HVAC filter material. Enjoy the new additions! Barry | ||

Portable
What sort of issues does your Portable have?
I just gave my thrift store find Portable its first real workout since I got it. Did the whole first floor with it. Not a single issue! No funny sounds, didn't get overheated, nothing. I think it's a keeper! Barry
