It was bound to happen one day -- Mr. Hoover married Miss Eureka. This is one of their offspring.

That is amazing work, Kyle!

I bet it works like a charm too!

Thanks guys!

I am really pleased with how it turned out. I couldn't have gotten so far without a lot of help with my friend, Chad. It works wonderfully. It may not be an actual factory done machine, but essentially it is exactly what a Cord Reel Convertible would be :) Glad you guys like it.

Very cool!  Great idea -- that color matches the original pretty well!  How did you run the cord from the winder into the handle/wire it up?

 

Final product looks fab!

Awesome vac!

You have created a really nice looking machine there! I LOVE seeing things like this, taking something and rebuilding it into something else that may or may not have really existed! You certainly have something to be proud of there!

Sooperdooper Super-upper job, Kyle! The Hoover Bug medallion over the cordwinder bolt is the perfect touch.

Kyle,

 

Excellent job!  It's so nice to see someone use a little imagination and creativity these days!  More "power" to you, young man!
