That's funny, Bill. I found my white Newconnie at a thrift store the same way - no hose handle.
Okay, funny not so much. One more reported incident of the handle falling off & going missing and we have a manufacturer's defect! Too bad Hoover is history or that piece would be easy to come by. You're right, replacing the entire hose for want of a handle seems excessive. After trying to finorkle a cheap plastic handle from several Chinese Podvacs I stumbled upon this aluminum Hoover bent wand in the parts bin. Don't know what Hoover it is from - perhaps a Portable Cleaning Center. But I made it fit and of course, it mates up with the Newconnie wands and accessories. Since you didn't get any of the tools I'd try to go with something more generic and standard so most Non-Hoover accessories can be used. I think you will have to be inventive. And, we don't need no friggin' suction regulator anyway. :-) Dave |
