Here is the other machine that I brought home to clean up for the Hoover Historical Center. It is a Canadian model 155 from 1936. It is very similar to our model 150 except for the bag. --Tom

Here is a close up of the undercarriage...look ma no dirt ever! And is that belt ever stretched. You have to remember that this machine and the others that I have posted have been stored since they were new. They will clean up nicely. --Tom

Wow, that is so nice! Just curious, does that take the same belt as the convertibles? | ||

Tom - I was wondering if it would be ok for me to use some of these pictures on my website, on the 'Canadian Models' page - you would be given full photo credit of course! Is that alright?? | ||

Thanks very much! I've been doing a bit of work on various pages today, but I'll wait until I've finished this bit before I highlight specifics. Feel free to have a look in the mean time if you wish... | ||

Also, you don't have any pics of the whole cleaner, do you? Or any of it since you've done restoration work on it? | ||
