 Well, you can easily wire a toggle switch to run in high only, or wire a 2-Speed toggle switch! The loose wire is the hot, otherwise the Concept would still run in one of the two speeds. If you know anything about basic wiring, you can take it from here! Otherwise, I'll be here to help that Hoover outshine it's replacement! Speaking of, what's been cleaning in the Hoover's absence? | ||

If I was you, I would wait for Hoovercelebrity to chime in here with an answer. His name is Fred Stachnik, one of the webmasters here, & the website's resident Hoover expert. He used to work for Hoover & trust me, he knows them all pretty much inside & out! Another one to trust here is Gottahaveahoove, John Long....his collection is entirely Hoover cleaners, & his knowledge of the brand would rival most other collectors here. Considering this isn't your own cleaner, I wouldn't want you to take Super-Sweeper's advice, the cleaner get wrecked permanently & then feel bad about it. Best to wait from someone like Fred who has actually worked on them & will get it working as it did when new from the factory.
Also, I would encourage you & your friend NOT to throw this cleaner out & donate it to charity. This Hoover Concept One is considered by many collectors to be one of Hoover's best upright models ever made, & of course you won't find anything that's made nearly as well today. I would also suggest that if you do get it repaired & working properly again, to get a new set of brush strips for the brushroll in the powerhead. They may require some hunting around at older vac shops, as they are getting scarce now, or perhaps purchasing thru Ebay or a online Internet vac shop vendor. Rob | ||

Rob, I'm a little insulted about your claims on my advice. This is a simple switch, not a complete rewire. Thankfully, I've discovered the switch is still available, at the link below. CLICK HERE TO GO TO super-sweeper's LINK on eBay | ||
