Hoover Dial A Matic

 Hi Matt Good vacuum i pased one up a while back by the time i went two blocks to get it some one else had just put it in his car. Here on Long Island it is VERY, VERY, Hard to get vacuums. NO more thrift shops just need good luck on trash day.Matt you are very LUCKY that your dad suports your vacuum collecting. My family gave me a hard time for years. If you like you can e-mail me we can talk vacuums. What do you think of Kirby? Take care Doug

Curbside finds

 Yes, Doug having lived most of my life on Long Island, I couldn't agree more. There are alot more "scavengers" nowadays and most of the vacuums you find thrown out are the new plastic pieces of junk. I've been scouring the garbage for about the last 20 years, and back in the day I used to find Constellations, Dial-A-Matics, Convertibles, Kirbys, Royals, pretty much you name it. Nowadays these same vacs go for telephone numbers on eBay. I did find a nice Oreck XL-9100C recently that only needed a belt. Also, a convertible model 66 that is sadly in deplorable condition, but it still works!

Well it's finally here.

 My first and currently only Hoover Dial a Matic came yesterday. It runs great and cleans pretty well. It is in almost mint condition aside from a few nicks in the cord and scuffs on the base. The power drive is really quite powerful.
Before I forget to describe this thing here we go. It has a white base, cord, sides, and handle tube. The bag cover, handle grip, and front cover are light brown. The letters that spell out HOOVER on the front cover are white also.
Like I said earlier it is one of the only vintage Hoovers in my collection.
