More specifically, the 2043 Powermatic Quik-Broom. Jason Huber alerted me to this sale and the first time I saw this in the preview photos I about peed myself, got a vacation day from work, and camped out two hours to snag that broom. The Decade 800 and 31 were mere bonuses compared to the Quik Broom, however I do now have the entire Decade 800 series complete, yay!
However, the carry handle at one point got broke, so I ended up ordering the last replacement handle and muffler from Hesco for the blue Quik Broom since on the schematics the part number for the handle/muffler assembly is for the camel 2 speed 2039 and it somewhat is more aesthetically pleasing

I've never seen a Hoover like that with the power nozzle, but I have seen the Reginas with one... that is very cool and definitely worth a day off! The idea of dying the plastic is really cool too! Can't wait to see it finished! | ||

Yes Hans, the idea of a Quik Broom with a Powernozzle was a novel idea, just bad pricing! These retailed around $79-$89 from what ads I have, for that price you could've had a bottom to midline Convertible.
The only PN Quik-Broom I'm missing now is the Wards Jiffy Vac with the Power II nozzle, either with or without the carry handle. I have a powerhead for one that I got in Kansas City about 4 years ago that I cleaned up, it just needs a machine now...
