I was at a thrift store on Saturday and saw this Hoover Deluxe Convertible in the back and one of the workers refused to sell it to me since it wasn't "tested". She told me to come back on Monday and get it. She was getting pretty rude with my dad and I. But I went back today and it wasn't in the back or on the floor, so I asked an employee where it was and she directed me to the guy that had tested it. (This lady was actually very nice). The man had said that he threw it in the dumpster because it made a weird "grumbling" noise. He said it should still be there though, and it was! Luckily it was not thrown in, it was set in, on top of a pile of clothes! He said he cut the cord off though, which isn't a problem. When I got home I replaced the cord with another Convertible cord, and threw a belt on it, to find that it runs absolutely great, with no flaws! It is also in amazing condition! Then I realized that my blue Hoover Handi-Vac has the same exact color scheme as this, and maybe they are from the same time? And then I realized that the star on the bag is the same star used on my 1978 Hoover Dial-A-Matic Power Drive, which also goes with my Convertible Estate.
So, my question is, does the Handi Vac and Deluxe Convertible go with the DAM and Estate? I am really curious about that. And sorry for rambling on, but I wanted to tell the extremely complicated story on how I got it. -Chase |
