Here is the whole base. Note the different badge from the regular 800's of the era. It has a clear bumper on it that has yellowed. It is a complete mess! You have to love the design of this machine with its built in headlight and sculptured top. --Tom

Here is the handle grip and the original Hoover plug. These grips as any Hoover collector will tell you are as rare as hens teeth! --Tom

I'm speechless Tom, I'm not often speechless; but I was after seeing the pictures of your 800 that was first off the production line! With many others of us, I'll be anxious to see the finished product. Ad multos annos! Jim Kirby | ||

I had a little free time today so I worked on the unusual model 800. This is how she looked once I put some Mother's on her and installed a used 800 bumper from a donor cleaner. --Tom

Here is the agitator with the famous It Beats As It Sweeps As it Cleans beater bars. This is the before. The original brushes were not too bad. --Tom

And, drum roll please....the finished product. I am not sure where the bag came from. It looks nice enough on this machine. I may some day run across an original for it. --Tom

Holy Cow, that's stunning, Tom. Stories like this give us all something to hope for. As the Disney song goes 'Tales can come true, it can happen to you, if you're young at heart...' Right place, right time, good karma and no second guessing yer instincts. This holds true for beater vacs that just need a good hosing off,as well as that forgotten old stock in a hardware store shut down in 1959 new in unopened box vacuum that never sold and ends up in a flea market. Been a very very good Full Moon Thanksgiving for the worthy from coast to coast, I'd say. | ||
