Hello Jonathan, Like all of your cleaners this is one is stunning....I love your 700 and mint 638 with the cloth bag an very rare 'compoflex' hose. Regards, Walter, West Mids. | ||

Nice example Jonathan!
This one looks pretty much flawless. I'm a little intrigued by the handle bail, which almost looks as if it's been recently chrome plated. The examples I've seen of this model (currently have about four) have steel bails painted black..and they can go rusty, whereas other machines, like the 575 and 700 appear to have aluminium ones, which will buff out. I have a 638 tool kit with one of those cardboard caddies, though don't have the box to the right. However I can't remember which hose it has; I'll have to check. Stephen | ||

Your 700.......... with that lovely 1926 type bag and pistol grip handle.....is it UK or USA voltage ? I think the braided 'compoflex' 638 hose would have been fitted to an early production run cleaner i.e. 1955/6, I think that sounds logical ? Regards, Walter. | ||

2 more stunning examples!
The 612 and 638 look mint..and are amongst my favourite cleaners. It's interesting what you say about the handle bails. I have a 475 with a bail painted black. My other 475s and some of the 425s are in storage, so can't check them all straight away. Also I've resprayed some of mine silver. However I'm wondering if, perhaps, Hoover plated some and painted others. Surely, the plating must have been more expensive to do? I may have one or two items I'd like to have chrome plated, including a Tellus base and possibly some Hoover bails. I expect that this will be expensive..so in no rush..but just curious, who did you use and were they reasonable? Stephen | ||
