Are you asking if Convertibles can use type A Hoover bags? Yes, every Convertible can use A bags with ether the original fill tube designed for top-fill bags, or with older machines, replacing the outer bag and installing bellows with a top-fill fill tube.
Although a new bag might not look as nice, the bag collar is the same on type A, Y, and Z bags, which are more readily available than type C bags. Plus, type Y bags come in HEPA filtration, so your 40 year+ Convertible could filter as well as current models! CLICK HERE TO GO TO bagintheback's LINK on eBay |

Yes, I just bought a beat-up Hoover Convertible #589 that someone had converted to take Type A bags. The entire bellows system is available to fit the old Convertbile openings. As the prior posters here have said, you will need a new bag, because the fill tube takes up some room and requires a slightly wider bag....Good Luck. |
