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 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. |
