Davis and I went out thrifting today and we found some pretty cool stuff. First is a mint condition Hoover Encore Supreme Elite. It is still shiny, and has no scratches on it. It is missing the attachements though. If I'm correct, I believe this is supposed to have a gray hose with the white ends and white attachments. Next is a Dirt Devil Series 500 hand vac. It has the original box, and the hose with the wall holder. IT also came with the unopened manual package. But, I opened it because all the info in it is very cool. We then found the super rare Kenmore bags that are upside down F & G style for $3. They are a pack of 15. Along with Eureka U bags that I thought were Z so I bought them, and some Eureka S & M bags. A vac shop gave us a Generation 4 shampooer, which I took, a Generation 3 shampooer that Davis took. And inside the G4 gox was a G5 instructional video!

Nice finds, that Encore has a black cord so the hose you want is the black one along with the black attachments. The Kenmore bags are rare, I can't remember the last time I've seen them in the store. I think you can still get them at Sears. Com iirc. I may have some attachments at home. I'll look if you want when I get home.

Actually, the cord is light gray and the body is all gray as well.
