I recived my longed for Hoover convertible model 68 in my favorite color,Blue =), however the handle had a tiny split just near the bag support hook and when i put it together it split alomost all the way around:(. I think i may have to solder it? Epoxy?any suggestions on how i can fix. I coult hunt for a tophalf handle but Id have to find a matching paint as this handle is paited to match the color of the hood and bag.You can kinda see in the pic where the crack started.

HOOVER did away with the "diving board" and reverted to the spring... for that reason.
