I have 2 It was the FIRST convertible to have a white handle. It was also the LAST model to have the full, metal badge all in the base all the way through the run. The next model, 70, changed mid-stream
Good luck with it.

Well, turn the machine off. Disconnect the unit from the ele

turn the machine over. Loosen the screws, remove the hood, and you'll find the lens come right out. As far as BAGS go, as the owner's manual states, "It is imperative that you use only genuine HOOVER bags". Others will nullify your warranty. And, WHY would you contemplate using an F and G bag?
Are they not for "Eueka"?

Very nice Davis. cant wait to see pics.What color is he?Blue? I love blue =).

I know its a sin to use f&g bags in a Hoover ;p,but I have done it in the later Convertibles now and then but this bag style is kinda small for that bag IMHO.

Very very nice

Excellent find!!! I would experiment with the F & G bags. The Hoover Type C bag can be a mess.

seems like you havee to turn the machine upside down to take the bag out without a mess
