Very nice I agree that the hood on these machines looks outstanding - always reminds me of the curved windows on 1930s buildings. Have fun with it! Si | ||

That's just wonderful Austin, what a great unit! I find the beater bar "humming" to be much more intense with the older units as well. Perhaps that is owing to the fact the machine is heavier and holding more fast to the rug. | ||

Fred... Congrats on the beautiful 61 ensemble. The handle box is nearly impossible to find. It just goes to show you that there are still good cleaners out there to be found. Thanks for the link. Your pictures look great! --Tom | ||

My 61 & 28
I found this 61 at an estate sale, complete with paperwork, attachments, hose and the original box. It was all original and looks barely used. I grabbed the cleaner and put it aside at the sale and went on to fight with an old bitty over some dishtowels. It can get ugly at these sales, but that's another story ;-) The 28 came from the same thrift store I found the Scott&Fetzer in and it is in wonderful condition too. When Roger and Terry were here last week, Roger told us that the 28 hoods came in die-cast metal, stamped steel and bakelite. This one is die-cast. It also has all the original paperwork, bag, cord, attachments, hose and box as well. The paint inside the brushroll area is barely nicked or scratched at all. I was very lucky to find a nice 28, one I've wanted as I remember using my grandmother's many times. She used to fuss at me to not leave it turned on because it would "eat a hole in the rug."
