I do believe.... Thankfully, Hoover would never rivet in brushstrips, Vintage Hoovers are built to last, even done to the brushroll!
As far as replacing the strips... (This is how you do it on a "Convertible (1959-1993) Machine)
Take the brush roll out of the bottom of the cleaner, then with one hand, hold the brushroll, and with the other, attempt to turn the end of the brush-roll (The "Cap" at the end, if you will). This may have frozen in place over there decades of service this machine has, and will once again provide. If it has, attempt to use a lubricant, such as WD-40 or Spray-away. One side sould then be able to screw off, and the other cap can be knocked out of place on the other side is off (The side with the noticeable circle in the middle should be the one that will one screw, allowing acess to pop out the other side by pushing the central rod of the brush roll. once these two caps have been removed, access to the brush strips. You should be able to pull the strips out by now, if they are also frozen in place, again apply lubricant. if you still cannot remove them by pulling, perhaps attempt pushing them with a Flathead screwdriver from the outside of the brusroll, this should free the brushstrips. In order to install the replacement burshstrips, simply repeat the above process in reverse ;)
I hope this is of assistance to you, -Alex. | ||

brushstrips
I had the same quandry with my model 700. The brush strips are spring loaded, they are held in by tabs on either end of the strip while the springs provide the tension to keep them in place. A lot of times they get stuck. But, if you apply pressure to the strip with say a flathead screwdriver you should feel them give a little. Work with them and they should pop out.
