Dave found that wonderful Hoover Model 25 Special, rebuilt by the factory. Nice clean-up job, Mr. Dave. Here's a picture (the one on the right) of the strange converter for this vacuum. It also was used on the Model 26 and the Model 930. It's heavy Bakelite and has those strange protruding angles. Other converters for the 150 and the other side conversion models don't fit in the 25, 26 and 930. You have to use this critter. This picture and several others of different Hoover converters was posted by "markuap". John L.

...showing the tool kit (the converter is next to the floor brush). Sorry for the partial scan - my scanner bed is not big enough for the whole ad. The kit looks very similar to the later Model 150 tool kits, used toward the end of their run in the late 30's. The early Model 150 tool kits used pockets. This same Model 25 tool kit configuration was also used on the Model 26, and, with modifications, on the Model 305, produced before the War. |

A few other Hoover converters. #3 is for Model 425, but it was very similar to the one used on the 450 and 475. |
