I found this very nice Dial-A-Matic at the Salvation Army for $20 the other day and I couldn't leave it behind. As if I needed another DAM...but I have a soft spot for them. I'm pretty excited about this one considering its condition. I haven't taken the time to disassemble and clean it yet, but it shouldn't be difficult considering how nice it is already. The only problem was the fill tube on the bag door was clogged all the way through, which I found strange since it had a near new bag in it. Clearly not a problem for me though. Thought I'd share.

That blue color looks really cool. Hoover used such nice colors for their machines. I'll be taking delivery of my first Dial A Matic this weekend. Can't wait to have another fabulous Hoover! |

That is the same model my mother had when she was first married! It is model 1136, made from 1971-1974, finished in Flemish Blue and shades of Taupe. For me, this was the Hoover that started it all! Many fond memories of this cleaner! |
