This the 1060 that Fred and Charlie used as a working demonstrator at the Omaha convention two weeks ago. They made a perfect presentation and demonstration of restoring a Hoover Convertible. I found this 1060 at an estate sale a year or so ago - one of the better ones I've seen, most are used and abused within an inch of their lives. Jeff brought the bag, washed it in a Maytag washer the night of the wash-in and I reassembled it last week. I've used it for a few cleanings in the living room and it works beautifully - what a wonderful new sound it has, I just love the ramp-up starting "whine".

Ah you've gotta keep the brown stains, nothing quite beats the years old mystery stains from a complete strangers house for character. |

So glad that it turned out well! And with some new parts and greased bearings, that thing will definitely purr! Happy Hoovering! ~Fred |

the 1060 was the Convertible's finest hour, and one beautiful machine at that! |

Has the Hoover building in North Canton now been sold? If so, who bought it; and what do they plan to do with it? Jim K., Kansas |
