Yes all repainted, scratches taken out hood. Motor completely torn apart and redone. Everything has to original was in my basement for 30+ years. Only thing I had to find was a set of brushes for the roller |

This 28 is fairly nice, however, the owner missed the mark with the color and style of the paint used on the base. It should be darker brown, and of the "wrinkle finish" type -- which is available in spray paint in larger hardware or paint stores. I think anyone who really loves old Hoovers will agree with me that this just "doesn't look right." It would be like painting an old Electrolux purple or orange! Here are a couple of photos of an all-original Model 28. |
