The brushroll is pretty rusty as well, so it will be sanded and painted black.

Opps wrong vac, that's my Hoover Decade 80, LOL. Here's the Model 62, it's even worse.

After about 45 minutes of using the air compressor and a scrub brush; much, much better.

The bottom is a little rusty as well, but I'm not sure if I should sand and paint it or not. Maybe just sand it?

Lookin' good so far... I've never repainted the base of a cleaner, I'm curious how it's going to turn out.. I think sanding it is definitely the right way of doing it. | ||

I did some sanding last night using the Kirby turbo sander on my Electrolux Olympia One. Thanks Fred, this is my first time at restoring a vacuum. I would really like to kick the persons butt who let it get in this shape, LOL.

I got the nasty white mold off the bellows assembly and it looks much, much better.

Jim, it is amazing what you have been able to do with the 62 so far. This is going to be a labor of love for sure. Be sure to keep us posted with your progress. Terry | ||

I certainly will. I'm taking the week off after easter Sunday, and hopefully the weather will be nice enough to get all the painting done. | ||
